Service Portfolio Management Toolbox (Excel)
Run your entire service portfolio—from idea to retirement—in one fast, audit-ready workbook. The SPM Toolbox (v1) turns spreadsheets into a real operating system: capture every service, score it, decide, allocate budget/capacity, track KPIs and value, log exceptions, and retire cleanly—then surface everything on a Portfolio Dashboard.
Why teams love it
• Single source of truth: One register for every service with owner, status, tier, dependencies, risk flags, and live links to decisions and evidence.
• Decisions you can defend: Weighted 0–5 scoring with custom criteria and built-in FIN/ARCH/Risk endorsements.
• Management-ready in minutes: Auto-structured KPI pack and roadmap views—no messy rebuilding every month.
• Audit-proof traceability: Every decision, change reference, timestamp, and link captured end-to-end.
• Built for cadence: Daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly checklists baked in so nothing slips.
