5.10. CONCLUSION
The IT portfolio management process and the stages and activities presented in this chapter should always be assessed and evaluated for continuous improvement. This is not a static process. Management within companies should always challenge and question the current processes by asking:
Are the current IT portfolio management processes, criteria, weighting, steps, and activities in line with the company's needs?
How can the processes be modified to better meet these needs?
Are the right members and the right mixture present at decision-making investment review and evaluation meetings?
Are the right triggers and performance measurements in place for event notification and monitoring of project and existing operational investments?
Are the time frames for the stages and activities taking too long and serving as blockers to effectively execute the process?
Are there reoccurring problems that continue to manifest in the process? Are corrective actions being taken to address both the symptom and the core problem?
