Strong BPM alignment and business visibility allows for quicker execution of company strategy by enabling management to allocate proper resources across various projects.

There are three common problem areas that get in the way of successfully aligning the strategic business goals and outcomes. Each of these areas will be identified and have mitigation techniques from the field to ensure that you have a successful framework for business alignment with BPM on your IT projects.

Rationalizing Your Investments: Projects Are Not All Created Equal
Best Practices for RIM Governance Programs
June 24-27, 2008
San Diego, CA
Managing project investments is similar to managing an investment portfolio. You need a balanced portfolio of investments that align with your strategic goals. Some projects are core to your business with low risk profiles, low complexity, and relatively low investment. Such efforts typically require less governance and oversight because the outcomes are more predictable. Other project investments have high risk profiles such as international expansion, which can result in high reward. These projects involve unique risks, but can open additional markets for new and existing customers. However failure is extremely costly.
