When IT management has visibility into complete, accurate, timely information, the business benefits:
- IT management gains an accurate view of true costs and benefits, from ideation to retirement, enabling IT to manage the portfolio according to business needs
- As priorities and needs shift, IT management can quickly adapt, assigning the right resources to the highest priority project to maintain strategic focus
IT can optimize the value of enterprise application development through complete visibility into:
- Demand for new applications
- Resources expended on non-strategic application maintenance work
- Fit between project progress and business requirements
- IT skills and resource availability
IT management can optimize return on application development spending:
- Place greater emphasis on revenue generating projects
- Understand the effectiveness and costs of various resource pools (staff, outsourced resources, etc.)
Keep projects on-time, on-budget and on-target
While tracking project success based on schedule and budget is important, it leaves out a vital metric: whether the project actually meets the business need. Serena solutions make it easy for IT to clearly understand business requirements and track requirements achievement throughout the project lifecycle. Through integrations with other Serena applications, Mariner can automatically track which requirements have been targeted for a project and which have been met.
