According to a project management software provider, cloud and SaaS-based solutions continue to be the preferred deployment choices for project management.
The industry shift to cloud computing and IT services will continue to gain momentum in 2011.
In fact, Gartner expects large enterprises to have a dynamic sourcing team in place by 2012 responsible for ongoing cloud sourcing decisions and management. The benefits of "cloud economics," which include large upfront capital expenses being exchanged for lower regular operational expenses and simpler accountability for services delivered, will drive cloud adoption as CIOs and IT leaders try to deliver the most value from constrained budgets.
Comment from Ian Knox, vice president of marketing at Daptiv: Project management has traditionally resided in the IT department of the enterprise but as PPM becomes more strategic, it is emerging as a critical business discipline for prioritizing projects, budgets and resources. Given tepid IT spending projections for the coming year, managers and executives -- as well as IT personnel -- will need greater visibility into project, program and portfolio execution, as well as the ability to measure progress against key business priorities.
About the predictions: Daptiv's predictions for project portfolio management in 2011 are based on emerging industry trends and feedback from Daptiv's more than 500 enterprise customers. A key prediction: Project Management Offices (PMOs) will expand beyond the traditional IT realm and play an increasingly larger role in strategic planning and business execution, especially given anticipated budget and resource restrictions in the year ahead.
