For today’s enterprises, agile planning and portfolio management (PPM) solutions represent key strategic assets. With the right solution, companies can more effectively ensure alignment across different groups, deliver improved visibility into project status, and more quickly and easily adapt to evolving business realities.
For teams looking to invest in a new PPM solution, a new report offers important insights. GigaOm recently released their latest report on the agile PPM segment. This report takes an extensive look at the vendors and solutions in this market.
I’m pleased to announce Broadcom was named a fast mover and a leader in this new publication. In their assessment of the Broadcom ValueOps solution, the report’s authors state, “Broadcom’s ValueOps solution, which includes Rally and Clarity, has extensive enterprise-level functionality, including both financial management and VSM. The focus is on continued efficiency and value at all levels of a project. The tool provides cross-team visibility for groups and leadership in IT and business.”
Following are a few of the advanced capabilities that helped differentiate Broadcom solutions:
- VSM support: “A key differentiator of Broadcom’s offering is that it lets users see the entire value stream; it received a high score for this emerging technology. The solution blends risks, OKRs, and status in dashboards to help pinpoint issues and drive efficiencies, and it allows users to identify risk dependencies and blocks.”
- Financial management: “Financial management, another key differentiator, is available across the platform with Clarity. The data can be accessed via easy-to-use dashboards with automatic calculations of internal rate of return (IRR) and ROI.”
- Business and IT alignment: “The platform seeks to align business and IT processes and leaders…. The product tracks initiatives, value, and costs, with a focus on strategy to ensure the right business goals are met. There’s visibility into teams and available resources, enabling more strategic assignment of the best resources for the work.”
GigaOm Delivers Detailed Look at Agile PPM Solutions
For those unfamiliar with GigaOm’s Radar methodology, here’s a brief description from the report:
“The GigaOm Radar plots vendor solutions across a series of concentric rings, with those set closer to the center judged to be of higher overall value. The chart characterizes each vendor on two axes—balancing Maturity versus Innovation, and Feature Play versus Platform Play—while providing an arrow that projects each solution’s evolution over the coming 12 to 18 months.”
