Definitive Pro uses decision science and innovative technology to help you make the best decisions.
1. Develop a Decision Model
Develop weighted decision models using strategic objectives to standardize decision making and support IT project investments.
Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), the relative importance of the criteria can be accurately established, as shown by their weighting percentages.
2. Score the Projects
Score projects using the decision model, resulting in a list of projects prioritized by strategic benefit.
The strategic contribution of each project can be discerned by the length of each bar. Each color represents a weighted criterion.
3. Complete the Business Cases
Complete lite business cases for the projects that are highly aligned with the portfolio strategy. Develop the solution approach and financial forecast of cost and benefit.
Business cases include narrative fields for the business need and solution approach, and key financial metrics (return $, ROI %, payback period, and IRR) and pass/fail hurdle rates.
4. Conduct a Value Analysis
Conduct an investment value analysis by reviewing the strategic benefit vs. cost vs. risk of the projects.
Projects in Quadrant 1 (green), higher benefit and lower cost, provide the greatest value.
5. Optimize the Portfolio
Optimize the allocation of funding and human resources to maximize the strategic benefit in the portfolio.
Optimization (blue line) outperforms prioritization (green) and unstructured decision-making (orange) at every funding level.
