A Solution Definition: Annual – Individual subscription offers full access to three (3) Sections of the ITM – Portfolio Management, Business Process Definition, and Solution Strategy & Architecture . Together with Organizing for Iterative Transformation, these Sections are all an initiative needs to get any transformative implementation off on the right foot.
To begin, Portfolio Management describes how to manage Customer Requests for Change, up to and including the largest implementation initiatives. Basically, it describes how to prioritize and route Requests to appropriate channels for change. Moreover, it describes how and when to establish new channels, such as Capabilities, Epics, and Solutions when applicable. Concurrently, Business Process Definition describes how to effectively capture information pertinent to any changes affecting business operations and the applications which support them. Thereafter, Solution Strategy & Architecture aligns each Solution to Business and IT Strategy. Furthermore, it compiles relevant Portfolio Management and Process Definition outputs to scope and prioritize pending changes, generating an initial Solution Backlog. In other words, this concludes Solution Definition and facilitates the transition to Solution Delivery.
Indeed, whether dealing with a single application or technology, or any number in combination, Solution Definition establishes proper divisions of work. Likewise, it also defines corresponding ownership, accountability, and objectives. Moreover, it identifies the resources and actions needed to make each initiative a success.
