Abstract

There is significant interest in managing IT resources as a portfolio of assets. The concept of IT portfolio management ITPM is relatively new, compared to portfolio management in the context of finance, new product development NPD, and research and development R&D. This article compares ITPM with other types of portfolio management, and develops an improved understanding of IT assets and their characteristics. It presents a process-oriented framework for identifying critical ITPM decision stages. The proposed framework can be used by managers as well as researchers.
