Application Portfolio Mis-Management
It’s four days til the deadline. An Enterprise Architect, Mason, sits alone in a darkened room, struggling to make sense of the data on his screen. Empty cans of energy drink were scattered across his desk. He was under immense pressure from the CIO to pull together an overview of their applications. It’s been weeks, and yet he was still so swamped with spreadsheets and a looming deadline of 31 October. So many spreadsheets, so little time. He sighs and looks around the darkened office with red-rimmed eyes.
