Tags:
infrastructure management

Overview Many IT executives are looking to establish a more sophisticated Program and Portfolio Management (PPM) discipline to maximize the business value of their investments. But before you can improve your PPM activities, you must understand your company's current PPM processes and map out the end result you're hoping to achieve.

This report introduces Gartner's six-step PPM maturity model and outlines the five core dimensions critical to PPM at each step. It explains how to assess your current maturity level, how to set realistic goals, and what steps you'll need to take (both long- and short-term) to improve the effectiveness of your PPM activities.
