An Integrated Approach to Managing IT Portfolio

Abstract

As IT portfolio management (ITPM) has been increasingly regarded as solution to governing IT investment, enterprises are faced with the challenge to develop and manage IT portfolio. We argue that IT portfolio needs to additionally consider managerial flexibilities and interdependencies in terms of a balanced portfolio return and risk. Moreover, we propose an IT portfolio model that is capable of considering option and synergy to make decision. Finally, we demonstrate an example to show the use our proposed model.
