Where they started
The organization needed one view of everything being asked of IT, and a way of deciding between it that would hold.
What we did
- One list. Built the portfolio from every piece of demand — formal requests, informal asks, and work already under way.
- The method first. Agreed how items would be scored before anything was scored.
- Force ranking. Ranked the portfolio against the capacity actually available, with the reasoning recorded.
- A standing practice. Set up the monthly cycle that keeps the ranking current.
What changed
A single ranked portfolio the business could see, and decisions about what comes next made on an agreed method. It is the practice ClarityArc Vision was later built to hold.
