Method and apparatus for facilitating management of information technology investment

A method, product and system are disclosed for facilitating user navigation between one or more investment maps and corresponding scorecards generated using stored data associated with performance metrics of a several information technology (IT) projects.

A method and apparatus to facilitate management of IT investment includes storing data associated with performance metrics of a number of information technology (IT) projects, and generating a number of 'scorecards' for a number of IT portfolios, using the stored data, with each scorecard indicating status of the IT projects of an IT portfolio relative to performance metrics, each IT portfolio having a subset of the IT projects. The method/apparatus further includes generating a number of 'dashboards' for the IT projects, using also the stored data, with each dashboard graphically illustrating one or more aspects of at least one IT project, and facilitating navigation from a scorecard to a corresponding one of the dashboards for a selected IT project by a user of the scorecard through selection of a representation of the IT project.

An information technology (IT) management practice knowledge portal provisions first information pages associated with IT management practices for retrieval. One or more IT management practice knowledge associates provision second information pages associated with IT management practices, and associate the second information pages with the first information pages to facilitate retrieval of the second information pages. Further, management features of an IT management application are associated with the first information pages to enable users of the management features to determine corrective actions to identified problems using IT management practice information provided by selected ones of the first as well as the second information pages.

Method and apparatus for distributing it management practice information

A method and apparatus to facilitate management of IT investment includes storing data associated with performance metrics of a number of information technology (IT) projects, and generating a number of &ldquo;scorecards&rdquo; for a number of IT portfolios, using the stored data, with each scorecard indicating status of the IT projects of an IT portfolio relative to performance metrics, each IT portfolio having a subset of the IT projects. The method/apparatus further includes generating a number of &ldquo;dashboards&rdquo; for the IT projects, using also the stored data, with each dashboard graphically illustrating one or more aspects of at least one IT project, and facilitating navigation from a scorecard to a corresponding one of the dashboards for a selected IT project by a user of the scorecard through selection of a representation of the IT project.
