The Future of IT Project Management Software. Opinion By Stacy A. Goff January 6, 2010 04:31 PM ET On the management side, organizations are slowly but surely turning to a project-oriented approach to trim costs and add value. Due to cost containment and regulatory pressures, the cycle of centralized management systems is expected to come into vogue again. This will spark stronger project management offices (PMOs), which in turn may reduce the number of projects as organizations recognize the problems associated with running too many projects concurrently (especially if they don't have enough team members for each project).

The Potential From our experience, every organization has the potential to improve its project management performance by an order of magnitude--or 10 times for each five to 10 year period, provided it commits to that goal. This article builds upon information presented in the author's chapter in a new book, Project Management Circa 2025, published October 2009 by Project Management Institute. Stacy A. Says Project and Portfolio Management Software Market Grew 11 Percent in 2012. STAMFORD, Conn., May 13, 2013 View All Press Releases Analysts to Discuss Latest PPM Trends at the Gartner PPM and IT Governance Summits 2013, May 20-22 in National Harbor, MD and June 3-4 in London Worldwide project and portfolio management (PPM) software revenue totaled $1.65 billion in 2012, up 11 percent from $1.48 billion in 2011, according to final results from Gartner, Inc.

"In 2012, the PPM software market had strong growth for the third consecutive year despite, or perhaps because of, slow economic growth, tight IT budgets, and merger and acquisition activity," said Laurie Wurster, research director at Gartner. "Turbulent or uncertain IT requirements perpetuated by a stagnant economy are driving changes in IT solutions and delivery models. Vendor movement has been characterized by partnering and acquisition, some new sales emphasis beyond North America, and improved packaging and delivery options (most notably, software as a service [SaaS]), as well as by new product releases.

PPM Application/PPM Software Evaluation. PPM Software Market looks promising for SMB Organizations « PM box | Exploring the Value of Project Management. 28 June 2013 Although Gartner has recently revealed during its 2013 PPM Summit that PPM software revenue has increased by 11% in North American and Western European markets, the truth is, the majority of PPM technology adoption is relegated to mature organizations that are capable of grasping the value of these solutions. In 2012, the PPM software market generated $1.65 billion in which 58% were delivered by the top 5 vendors who primarily service the Enterprise market. According to Gartner, 42% of that revenue was picked up by “Other” vendors which I deduce to be referring to the PPM vendors grabbing the exploding SMB marketplace which has seen a 13.4% increase in sales from 2011 to 2012.

Although there is tremendous growth opportunity in the small and medium business (SMB) market, the PPM challenge with this market remains two-fold: 1) The lack in maturity in implementing PPM processes. 2) The underestimated value of portfolio and project management perceived by this market segment. Project and Portfolio Management Software Market Continues Growth in 2012. For the third year in a row, Gartner analysts reported that project and portfolio management (PPM) software exhibited impressive growth.

This growth is in terms of revenues and markets. In a Gartner Newsroom article, they presented a table showing PPM spending by vendors, identifying the top 5 companies and grouping the rest, 2012 revenues in millions of dollars, percent market share, 2011 revenues, and the corresponding percent growth from 2011 to 2012. This comparative table shows that total revenue grew by 11 percent, from 1.48 billion dollars in 2011 to 1.65 billion dollars in 2012. The Top 5 It can also be seen from this table that the first spot belongs to Oracle, followed by Microsoft, and then by CA Technologies.
