The Business Value of IT
Michael Harris - President, David Consulting Group
This presentation seeks to highlight the role that good estimation has to play in the delivery of value from IT to the business. Too often, IT projects and operations fail because business expectations are unrealistically high in terms of what can be achieved in a given time at a given quality and budget. And too often, IT providers have unreasonably low expectations regarding the same. What is lacking on both sides is knowledge of what can be realistically achieved by combining a clearly prioritized set of business needs with well-established IT industry best practices. This presentation identifies six key areas for business value from IT and explains how SEER for Software and SEER for IT play a role in all of these areas.
