Strategic IT Planning and Budgeting Framework PPT
This PPT slide, part of the 18-slide Example of Client Implementation of Best Practice Portfolio PowerPoint presentation, outlines the objectives and expected benefits of a structured approach to IT planning and budgeting over a three-year horizon. The left section details the objectives, emphasizing the need to establish and annually review an IT roadmap that aligns with the overarching business strategy. This roadmap serves as a foundation for identifying IT projects that address both business and technology needs for the upcoming financial year.
A key focus is on creating realistic project budgets that reflect current activities and anticipated future requirements. The slide suggests splitting budgets into distinct categories: maintenance, enhancements, operations, new projects, business technology, infrastructure, and ongoing projects. This categorization aids in better financial management and ensures that resources are allocated efficiently.
On the right side, the expected benefits are clearly articulated. The alignment of project resources with business strategy is highlighted, ensuring that IT initiatives directly support organizational goals. The slide also points out that a well-defined budget reduces the risk of unexpected costs, which can derail financial planning.
Furthermore, having a three-year outlook on the IT budget allows for more effective planning within the broader context of the business's cost structure. Transparency in budgeting is also emphasized, enabling project offices to report on progress and resource utilization effectively. This structured approach not only enhances accountability, but also fosters a culture of strategic alignment within the organization. Overall, the slide presents a comprehensive framework for IT planning and budgeting that can significantly improve operational efficiency and strategic execution.
