Application Portfolio Management

This page describes what application portfolio management is, the formulation and execution of the strategy.

Application porfolio management is like spring/autumn cleaning. Twice a year, you take inventory of your room, closet etc. before you start removing items. Applicatio porfolio management is taking stock off the applications that are no longer useful and removing them to make room for required applications. As a business grows, "IT departments and even individual employees buy applications to solve urgent problems without giving any (or at least enough) thought to the implications." As a result, "unmanaged apps pile up that are difficult or impossible to integrate with existing apps or other systems." If there is no management of applications, it can cause serious problems to the cloud or server, causing it to lag or shutdown. (Application Portfolio Management, Leanix.net)
