Leadership Series
Build your bottom line: Drive innovation with a collaborative requirements-driven quality solution. Software is becoming the invisible thread that enables innovative services and products - and innovation is contingent upon the ability to manage effective software delivery. Yet, software design, creation and management have become prohibitively complex and keeping up with the changes is an ongoing struggle. Organizations that can clearly articulate and reach consensus on stakeholder business objectives and requirements have a much greater potential to optimize their end results. This paper examines collaboration as a force multiplier that can help organizations not only better manage change but also help drive ongoing innovation to build the bottom line.

Overcoming contradictions to
deliver
greater value from software and systems
investments
The demands placed on leaders responsible for software and systems delivery are not only aggressive but also contradictory. They must cut costs while investing in technology to be more collaborative and innovative. They must bring projects to market faster while continually improving quality and effectiveness. By improving project, product, portfolio and performance management (PPM), an organization can balance its needs to reduce costs, increase collaboration, work more effectively, and improve business results in new ways Containing the cost of IT:
An approach to strategic IT planning and
streamlined operations
The need to reduce software project costs and mitigate risk without impeding progress is arguably greater today than it has been at any point in the history of software and systems delivery.
