Strategy to Portfolio Value Stream

For example, traditional project proposal or investment Portfolio Management driven by an IT PMO needs to work in conjunction with Service (or Application) Portfolio Management driven by Enterprise Architects or Service Portfolio Managers.​

​The S2P Value Stream aims to provide holistic views of IT portfolio activities through data integrations within multiple areas of the IT portfolio. These views provide better understanding of the inter-relationships among IT's many sub-domains, including the IT PMO, Enterprise Architecture, Application Management, IT Operations Management, and Information Security Management. Today's IT needs accurate and point-in-time information to understand the inter-relationships and inter-dependencies required to truly orchestrate all the moving parts of IT in ways that can help the IT department support business objectives and goals.
Most IT organizations already have IT portfolio processes and solutions in place, but suffer from the following limitations:

• Poor data consistency and quality
• No holistic IT portfolio view across IT PMO and the Enterprise Architecture and Service Portfolio functional components
• Inconsistent Service and IT Portfolio Management processes
• Poor tracking and correlation of service lifecycle across conceptual, logical, and physical domains

The S2P Value Stream provides a blueprint for optimizing service and investment IT Portfolio Management. The end-to-end IT portfolio view provided by the S2P Value Stream raises the visibility of key artifacts often overlooked during IT portfolio planning activities. Defining key artifacts and relationships between artifacts and service models is easier with a proper framework.
