By broadening its view of project management to an organizational governance context, IT management can increasingly address portfolios of projects, priorities, resources and more.AnalysisStrategic Planning Assumptions By 2006, more than 50 percent of all project portfolio management functions will be packaged as flexibly configurable, modular Web services ( probability). By 2006, at least 50 percent of IS organizations will have adopted a mix of project portfolio management application services for managing team collaboration, allocating resources, and tracking utilization and costs ( probability). Enterprises will continue to reduce the number of tools needed to manage IT and other project portfolios, in part to provide quicker visibility via direct rollup and analysis of portfolio data. Enterprises delivering projects large and small have long blended tools and manual solutions to allocate resources, schedule activities and milestones, track progress, share projectrelated documents, control project risks and otherwise manage their project portfolios (see Ways to Speed Up Projects in the RealTime Enterprise). We believe that, during the next five years, project portfolio management (PPM) functions will be increasingly consolidated in flexible and configurable smart suites of PPM Web services.A smart enterprise suite can extend platforms to create specialized applications that integrate analytical, business and content management application functionalities, which is precisely what39。s happening with PPM packages (see The Future of the Smart Enterprise Suite). This trend has been slowly gaining momentum, inhibited by market conditions and the resulting constraints on Ramp。 vision foci differ. Some, such as the enterprise resource planning (ERP) providers, initially focused on project cost accounting, then added planning, resourcing and other PPM features. Others (Primavera Systems, for example) focused first on the latter set of functions, enabling project cost management and exporting cost accounting data to an ERP back end, and later added ways to collect nonproject costs, such as work requests. Although approaching PPM requirements with different strengths, these applications can provide reliable IT project and service status data, which was formerly available only in fragments (for example, in such static documents as time reports or resource plans in Excel).In assembling a plete solution, PPM packages often
