SERVICENOW SPM<\/p>

Strategic Portfolio Management, sized to what your organisation will actually maintain<\/span><\/h1>\n

SPM \u2014 the module ServiceNow used to call ITBM \u2014 fails more often on adoption than on configuration. Resource management needs timesheets. Portfolio reporting needs someone to keep demand records current. The implementation question is which of those disciplines your organisation will genuinely sustain.<\/p>

What SPM covers<\/span><\/h2><\/div>THE MODULES AND PROCESSES WE IMPLEMENT<\/span>
Demand Management<\/dt>
A single intake for ideas, requests and projects, with enough scoring to make prioritisation defensible.<\/dd><\/div>
Project & Portfolio<\/dt>
Planning, milestones, financials and status reporting, with portfolio views that a steering committee will actually read.<\/dd><\/div>
Resource Management<\/dt>
Capacity planning and allocation \u2014 powerful, and entirely dependent on people recording time honestly.<\/dd><\/div>
Agile Development<\/dt>
Stories, sprints and boards for teams that work that way, connected to the same demand pipeline.<\/dd><\/div>
Application Portfolio Management<\/dt>
What you run, what it costs, what it depends on, and what should be retired \u2014 built on the CMDB.<\/dd><\/div>
Financial planning<\/dt>
Budgets, forecasts and actuals against portfolios, at whatever granularity your finance function can supply.<\/dd><\/div><\/dl><\/div><\/section>\n\n

Portfolio visibility, not task scheduling<\/h2>

SPM earns its place by answering what are we doing and why. Detailed plans nobody updates are how it loses that.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n
