Portfolio Management

Why accept substandard returns on your IT investment portfolio? Isn't it time you treated your IT investments with the same quantitative rigor and discipline you apply to your financial investments? 70% of IT projects fail to deliver promised ROI benefits. Do you know which projects in your portfolio will fail to deliver?

Major Scale will help you choose and implement the best methodology and practical procedures for making and managing capital project investment decisions including large technology projects, new product introductions, R&D efforts and other types of strategic business initiatives. We will help you focus, streamline, and formalize your organization’s capital investment and management process and instill a rigorous risk/return based business discipline, from decision making through project management to tracking of realized returns at project completion.

Major Scale will help you focus and build your IT management practice to:

  • Institute a quantitative portfolio management discipline for evaluating existing systems and proposed projects
  • Quantify and measure intangible benefits
  • Eliminate double counting of benefits or costs across multiple project proposals
  • Apply rigorous quantitative valuation methods
  • Recognize and adapt to changing conditions throughout project life cycles

Major Scale will help you evaluate and understand risk factors for IT and capital projects.

• Are benefits and/or costs overestimated or underestimated?
• Is the probability of project delay or cancellation factored in?
• Is sensitivity to changes in decision variables accounted for?
• Are correlations to other projects taken into account?
• Are costs or benefits double counted across multiple projects?
• Are option values measured or considered?
