50% Schedule Reduction for Rapid Deployment Cycle
468 Demands in Pipeline
950 Tech Resource Capacity/Availability under Management
THE CHALLENGE
Lack of Visibility into Demand
The governor’s technology office for this state government employs 1000 technology resources and supports 22 agencies across the state.
The technology office received demands via multiple siloed sources from many different state agencies. The lack of a single pane of glass impaired visibility. The office had a running list of projects and nice-to-have items from the 22 agencies. But they didn’t have a feasible way to keep track of the ideas and demands outside of projects.
The office needed transparency and visibility into demand and qualification of demand for the project approval board. They also needed insight into the capacity and availability of internal resources for project-based work. In addition, the office faced the license expiration of their PPM application, so they had a hard deadline to replace it.
THE SOLUTION
Total Portfolio Management
With Cask, this office built and implemented the intake, demand, and PPM process to better flow a project through a lifecycle.
Together, they performed discovery workshops and gathered requirements for Idea, Demand, Resource, Time and Project Management. They developed an Idea to Project intake and delivery solution to support operational and project work for the agencies that the technology office supports.
The journey also included training sessions on best and common practices that integrated the more effective of the office’s existing processes with new capabilities.
THE PARTNER EXPERIENCE/RESULTS
SPM Insights, Delivered
The new single pane of glass improved the quality of information gathered. Decision-makers can now act more rapidly and with greater confidence.
The technology PMO has focused visibility into prioritization of work to complete, along with better understanding of whether they have the resources to complete particular projects. The solution also enabled advanced insight into delivery health. For the rapid deployment cycle, the schedule was reduced by 50%.
