Supplementary Notes Research performed in cooperation with the Montana Department of Transportation and the US Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration. 16. Abstract The purpose of this research report is to develop a Strategic Enterprise Architecture (EA) Design and Implementation Plan for the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT). Information management systems are vital to maintaining the State’s transportation infrastructure and are critical components for activities such as asset management, forecasting, QC/QA efforts, and data collection and analysis. In order for MDT to carry out its mission successfully, it is essential to appropriately incorporate and utilize technology. The development of a Strategic EA design provides a technology and data roadmap to help MDT align its technology investments to deliver the greatest business value, identify and resolve system and data inconsistencies that interfere with the sharing of data and information, and ultimately support MDT’s evolving IT needs and strategies. MDT’s existing information systems in some areas are fragmented or narrowly focused in support of a single business unit’s needs within the agency. A relevant number of MDT’s systems are technology silos limiting MDT’s Information Services Division’s (ISD) ability to provide responsive support and service to the MDT business community. Many primary business systems are based upon technologies near or beyond end of technical life, limiting service life. Lastly, ISD must remove impediments and recommend business process improvements for a strategic data management and governance approach. This report provides a Strategic Enterprise Architecture addressing these concerns aligned to MDT business drivers and strategic initiatives, along with an EA Implementation Plan, Recommendations by EA layer, along with estimated costs, benefits, risks, and risk mitigation strategies for the EA. 17.

    Project Portfolio Management Software Review 1 Project Portfolio Management Software Review Pamela Jackson IT Project and Change Management Project Portfolio Management Software Review 2 Project Portfolio Management Software Review The project portfolio management software I’ve chosen to review is OPX2 by Planisware. It integrates project management, resource management, and project portfolio management all in one package, as depicted by their logo shown in Diagram 1. Diagram 1. The organization, Planisware, USA, develops software for managing new product development, research and development, and managing information technology. It was incorporated in 1999 and has been experiencing a compounded 30-50% profit increase annually. The most important or prestigious product they offer is OPX2, which is used by numerous Fortune 500 companies. Among their customers are seven of the top ten pharmaceutical/biotech organizations. They have positioned their US headquarters in San Francisco, California and maintain several offices across the US and Europe. (Planisware, 2006) Project Portfolio Management Software Review 3 The portfolio management module provides customized reporting to assist with strategic planning and decision making. It provides a real-time view of the portfolio and generates forecasts and budgets. Managing initiatives is enhanced with the ability to perform “what if” scenarios for analysis and comparisons. OPX2 allows the ability to track schedules and manage projects at the project level, much like Microsoft (MS) Project. The software layout for Gantt charts and task distribution are very similar, but OPX2 promises to provide much more flexibility. They state you can breeze right through with managing project schedules. The entire program is web based, accessible from your desktop.

    Magic Quadrant for IT Project and Portfolio Management 7 June 2010 | ID:G00200907

    PM Software Evaluation and Selection Process November 23, 2010 Project Summary The Department of Administrative Services, Information Technology (IT) Services Applications group is responsible for providing application and web development services to divisions within DAS, boards and commissions, and the Governor’s Office. IT Services is comprised of 15 developers and 1 business analyst. Currently, IT Services has over 12 active projects, 8 project charters awaiting signature, and in excess of 30 web sites or applications that they support. IT Services has no dedicated project manager. IT Services currently utilizes network drives, SharePoint, a custom time tracking application and a shared custom help desk application to track tasks, projects, and documentation. None of the applications currently in use by the group can be considered a project management solution. IT Services finds it increasingly difficult to accurately provide quotes, schedule resources, track task completion, and complete projects on time. In addition, there is no single application that can be reviewed to determine current projects, status of those projects, amount of time a team member has spent working on a task, or project progress against the schedule. Project Goal Project Management Software Comparison and Recommendation Comparison of ten project management software packages against customer criteria. Recommendation of three software packages that meet or exceed the needs of the project sponsor. 1 | P a g e Implementation Plan Project Management Software Implementation
