Trip Report

Overview

Digital change is redefining PPM and IT governance roles and goals. This year’s conference issued a call to action: Evolve now to seize major opportunities ahead. Attendees gathered to learn how to quickly evolve their skills, teams and organizations to meet the change and its impact on business and IT goals, strategies and demands.

A new agenda track covered the future of PPM, trends upending the status quo, and how to make the leap to next-generation PPM capabilities, including the people, skills and processes needed to thrive in the digital age. Attendees identified next steps toward agile, iterative, fast-moving innovation and discovered new ways to improve governance, drive organizational change and get IT and business on the same page.

Analyst-led roundtables, workshops and new PPM Workplace sessions offered dozens of opportunities to exchange ideas. Magic Quadrant sessions explored new offerings in PPM software applications, cloud-based PPM and integrated IT portfolio analysis. And end-user practitioners shared what they learned from improving PPM and governance at their organizations in three powerful case studies. 2 Key take-aways

Thriving on Digital Chaos: Innovation, Agility and Collaboration

1 Use bimodal to build flexible, multidimensional approaches. In the digital age, sometimes the goal is reliability (run the business), and sometimes it’s agility (innovation). Bimodal approaches let you categorize projects, adopt mixed project and program practices, and leverage the appropriate talents, governance, sourcing and cycle times.

2 It’s time to implement a mobile application portfolio. Craft a plan to manage your evolving mobile portfolio. Collect apps and identify stakeholders. Create a mobile roadmap. Deploy an enterprise app store and use analytics to monitor usage. Adjust priorities to maximize business value.

3 There is no one-size-fits-all strategy for cloud. Private cloud is giving way to hybrid strategies. Focus on business goals and look for options that support them. Seek cloud brokerages to enhance performance and capabilities. Always build in a service exit strategy.

4 Organizational change management is critical to success. Make org change expertise a core capability, build a business case for funding it, assign it to a specific person and include stakeholder satisfaction in success criteria. Create a culture that embraces and enables change.

5 The digital-driven IT shakeout is coming. Get ready. Two-thirds of your current positions don’t exist in the modern, lean IT department. Experience may hinder, not help. It’s time to increase your business acumen, focus on agile methods and innovation tools and learn to love change.

6 Digital means higher stakes and greater complexity. Governance, funding and risk management are all in flux. PPM and governance leaders must develop bimodal capabilities in order to support existing IT and pursue innovation. Org change must create a digital-first, change-friendly environment.

7 Let business capabilities drive IT decision making. New business capabilities changes should be prioritized and funded separately from project proposals. Rebalance your portfolio after approvals to ensure high-value initiatives are funded. Skip projects that don’t support strategic business outcomes.

Gartner View: Key Success Areas for Surviving and Thriving in Digital Business David Mitchell Smith, Vice President and Gartner Fellow, Gartner Research; Debra Logan, Vice President and Gartner Fellow, Gartner Research

Ready or not — and few are — digital business is here. David Mitchell Smith presented two new digital-age approaches: bimodal PPM for toggling between traditional and agility-focused approaches, and digital business filters to recognize emerging opportunities. Debra Logan described a brave new world that may require fewer “professional” project managers. With half of IT spending outside of IT by 2017 (in other words, those outside of IT are buying IT), PPM’s new job is to provide innovation-driven “new wave” practices, champion digital humanism and ethics, and guide projects toward new definitions of success.

The Internet of Things and Other Unprecedented Disruptions Demand Entirely New Approaches to Change Anthony J. Bradley, Group Vice President, Gartner Research

In an eye-opening call to action, Anthony J. Bradley discussed how to prepare for the new world of digital business. As the Internet of Things (IoT), smart machines and 3D printing blend the physical and digital for dramatic change, “big change” is becoming a core competency. On time, on budget and on functionality isn’t enough. To meet constantly changing business needs, you must use “instability by design” to support improvisation, move from satisfying requirements to driving business outcomes and shift from delivering solutions to advancing ecosystems.

Gartner Predicts the Future of PPM Robert A. Handler, Vice President and Distinguished Analyst, Gartner Research; Donna Fitzgerald, Vice President, Gartner Research

You know significant change is coming, but what does it mean for you? Robert A. Handler and Donna Fitzgerald outlined five key PPM predictions and how to prepare for them. Some practitioners will be asked to determine which projects must be bulletproof and which should be hacked together quickly — that’s one tactical view of bimodal PPM. PPM tools will get more collaborative and drive new integrated behaviors. EPMOs with increasing ownership will emerge to cut through obstacles. Versatile, creative problem solvers who know how to rapidly provide business-need solutions with minimal time and overhead will thrive.

Guest Keynote: Digital Business Strategy for the Second Machine Age Erik Brynjolfsson, Professor, MIT Sloan School of Management, and Director, MIT Center for Digital Business

Technology and the economy are getting weird. Machines are rapidly advancing at fine motor skills, language and problem-solving, once uniquely human domains. Highly skilled workers, capital and the 1% are winning big. While digital progress increases total wealth, nothing says it will be shared equally. We need to reinvent our economy, society and organizations. Successful organizations will create new processes, products and services — not just automate existing ones.
