"The project and portfolio management market has grown rapidly and morphed since mid-2006. Even as large enterprises seek expanded IT planning and control with PPM as a key enabler, PPM value has become apparent to organizations of all sizes through PPM software as a service and on-demand solutions.
End-user organizations seeking improved project and portfolio management (PPM) should primarily spend effort identifying needed changes in roles, skills and processes before exploring which tools can best support — and enhance — PPM capabilities. They should then carefully scope PPM implementations to ensure that they are neither too narrow nor too broad, but "just right" — and insist on modular, progressive implementations that will fit immediate, then evolving, requirements. Technology providers should pursue broader markets with solutions tuned to various capability levels that feature more-flexible packaging and pricing."
