Serena Mariner™

Project and Portfolio Management (PPM)
Project and Portfolio Management is all about doing the right projects right. It helps organisations to improve their maturity in key IT governance processes by targeting the management of demand, resources, projects and financial capacity. PPM concerns itself with selecting the projects that fit with the organisation’s strategic goals and ensuring that the organisation continually improves on the execution of those projects.

Read the latest Forrester report that puts Serena Mariner as leader of PPM tools.
Key Forrester benchmarks show that the implementation of PPM in an organisation can have a significant impact:

  • Reduce Project Cost 1% - 5% by identifying and eliminating redundant, underperforming, low-value and poorly aligned projects
  • Reduce Resource FTEs 1% - 5% by improving efficiency in the allocation of work and reduction of bottlenecks
  • Improve project success rate 15% - 30% by delivering more projects on time and within budget
  • Reduce manual effort 20% - 30% through improved operational efficiency
  • Observe savings in total IT costs of 5% - 8% by minimising the full lifecycle costs while maximising benefits of technology investments
  • Save application maintenance costs 10% – 20% by consolidating the application portfolio, replacing high cost applications, and enforcing standards.

The Challenge

  • IT has limited visiblity into the portfolio, leading to redundance and ineffective prioritisation
  • Demand for IT resources exceeds supply because IT can't measure or manage capacity
  • Planning and tracking are ad-hoc with no processes to endure portfolio allignment
  • IT is plagued by high project failure rates and frequent budget overruns
  • IT has no understanding of application ROI and TCO. There is no accountability for benefits

The Solution

  • Mariner delivers visibility into the IT portfolio, eliminating duplicate and off-strategy projects
  • Mariner gives IT the information needed to measure capacity and identify resource inefficiences
  • Mariner delivers closed-loop planning so that the impact of portfolio changes is understood
  • Mariner's overflow ensures consistent execution. Common tools are used to manage issues and risk
  • Mariner enables IT to manage costs and benefits across the investment lifecycle.
