LA GESTIÓN DE CARTERAS PERMITE UNA REPRESENTACIÓN DINÁMICA DE SISTEMAS DE INFORMACIÓN DE LA ORGANIZACIÓN

Abstract

Organization’s business sustainability requires a dynamic approach to support business decisions. The concept of a project as an organizational transformation requires the alignment of project and portfolio management processes with this dynamic approach. Since Organization’s transformations, or even small changes, are triggered by project´s deliverables (what will be delivered and when), Organization’s forecasted future representation (to-be) is only possible if aligned with project´s scope and schedule accurate information. First impact of this approach is on the portfolio management control processes since they shall change the focus from the classic deviations (current status) to the forecast deliverables information. Portfolio information shall provide deliverables plans, resulting from aggregating all concurrent projects information. A second impact is on the project planning processes. Project plans are no more reliable if they are build based on the Organization’s current representation, they shall be built upon planned project deliverable data status (to-be). Special attention shall be done to project risks identification and assessment processes, since these processes shall be focused on the desired future representation. This paper is focused on project and portfolio management processes enabling the balancing IT platforms (information systems architectures, system products and networks), allowing a dynamic Organization’s information systems representation.
