IT Project Portfolio Management

Instantis EnterpriseTrack is an award winning cloud-based solution for managing the business process of software and systems development and operations. The heart of the EnterpriseTrack solution is its market-leading dashboard and reporting capabilities.  One can easily and securely compose Dashboards by dragging and dropping charts from a growing library and further personalize views leveraging deep filtering options. Reports enable one to issue, schedule, and share a library of standard out-of-the box management reports in several convenient formats including Excel templates and one-click PowerPoint storyboards that can be populated with live server data on demand.

In addition, Instantis EnterpriseStream™ provides the industry’s first and only native and fully integrated (“seamless”) social networking application for IT project team and stakeholder collaboration. As a result, there is virtually zero effort to set it up, access the tool, start collaborating and realize immediate productivity results.

Finally, the EnterpriseTrack solution for IT PPM and PMOs supports 10 core solution modules that span the complete IT project life cycle. They are depicted in the diagram below; a brief description follows.

 

Plan

Strategy Manager enables organizations to define a hierarchical portfolio of strategic goals and initiatives and drive execution from the top down. Application Manager allows IT to define and track a portfolio of applications and associated usage, cost and performance metrics in order to drive appropriate life-cycle decisions.

Select

Idea Manager automates your project “suggestion box” by capturing project ideas and filtering requests leveraging an online portal. Demand Manager streamlines and standardizes in-take capture, workflow, prioritization, resource scoping and approval processing for simple and complex work/service requests, proposals and/or business cases.

Mobilize

Capacity Manager facilitates resource optimization via "what if" scenario planning to simulate the impact of shifting, excluding or adjusting effort of proposed project plans. Resource Manager enhances resource pool visibility and allocation control by balancing in-bound work demand with available resource supply (i.e. time, people and money).

Execute

Project Manager ensures best-practice application of chosen methodologies, increases project visibility (status, issues, risks, etc.) and guides project team execution in achieving goals leveraging a flexible n-level deep WBS. Knowledge Manager streamlines project execution and enhances work management practices by leveraging a centralized knowledge base of project documents, tools and templates.

Measure

Financials Manager tracks plan vs. actual costs; top-down and bottom-up project budgeting; and capitalization, expense and chargeback accounting. Metrics Manager tracks and rolls-up non-financial performance indicators such as defects, service levels, trouble tickets, or any other user-defined operational metric of choice.
