Why?
The IT department faces different challenges in large and medium companies. They are mostly related to an information gap that is developing in the IT department. Whatever the methodology used (Agile, Scrum, Prince2, PMP…) and whatever the project management tools used (Microsoft Project, Open Work bench, Clarity, Open ERP,…), can you ensure that all managed IT activities are meeting the business needs and its times constraints? For example, is there a business demand that is not handled by IT and which is not planned in the release calendar?
- Are the operations on the field going in the direction of the IT strategy?
- IT activities must be aligned to business needs and constraints
- Make sure that all validated business demands are translated into an IT project
- Ensure that all products are developed on time to fit the calendar
- In terms of performance management, are the efforts aligned with the budget?
- Are IT projects contributing to a business need or not?
- Make sure that all projects are planned into a release
- Assess the quality of data into different environments
- Ensure the test of a solution from end to end
- Data have the same level of quality in the different systems or environments
