The significance of having a Single Source of Truth (SSOT) in Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) is now an imperative.  SPM is a multifaceted domain that encompasses various elements of management such as Ideas and Requests, Objectives and Key Results, Portfolios, and Resource Capacity. Managing these elements effectively from a connected singular perspective with real time data is crucial for strategic decision-making and a competitive advantage. OnePlan stands out as the best SPM solution, offering a comprehensive, integrated, and user-friendly platform that turns disparate data into powerful insights. By choosing OnePlan you are not just choosing a software solution, you are choosing a strategic partner that is invested in your SPM success. 

Why is a SSOT in SPM Critical? 

A SSOT in SPM is instrumental in consolidating and standardizing data across an organization. Without it, data exists in silos, making it challenging for decision-makers to get a comprehensive view of the enterprise’s strategic initiatives and delivery business outcomes. These silos often act as black boxes, impeding the flow of information and leading to decisions based on partial or outdated data. By implementing a SSOT for SPM, businesses can ensure that their strategic decisions are informed by complete, accurate, and up-to-date information, where every part of the organization participates collaboratively in the strategy to execution process. OnePlan stands out as the ideal SSOT solution for SPM. By integrating disparate elements of SPM – from ideas and requests to resource capacity and IT investments – into a unified platform, OnePlan provides a holistic view of an organization’s strategic initiatives. This integration is crucial for businesses seeking comprehensive insights to stay ahead in a competitive market. 

How to Achieve a SPM SSOT with OnePlan

Creating a SSOT in SPM requires a well-planned implementation strategy and roadmap. This involves aggregating all SPM data inputs from various business users and systems across the enterprise into a primary location – in this case, OnePlan.

The Role of OnePlan OneConnect 

The OnePlan OneConnect integration platform is a game-changer in this respect. It seamlessly connects line-of-business systems such as Azure DevOps, JIRA and ServiceNow, ensuring that all data flows into OnePlan as the central SPM repository. This capability is vital for aggregating data from various essential external systems into a cohesive SPM solution.

Empowering Departments and Teams 

For a SSOT in SPM to be effective, it needs to be accessible. OnePlan ensures that all departments and teams have access to the centralized SPM solution based on their role and permissions. This democratization of data empowers teams across the organization to make informed decisions based on a complete understanding of the company’s strategic direction. 

The Danger of Disparate Data 

Disparate data sets – data residing in isolated workstations or disconnected applications – pose a significant challenge in Strategic Portfolio Management. This fragmentation leads to a lack of visibility and coherence, making it nearly impossible to make well-informed decisions. OnePlan addresses this issue by consolidating these disparate SPM datasets into a unified platform, enabling a more holistic approach to SPM.
