Course Summary
IT organisations often struggle to balance supply and demand for IT products and services. Managers focus on delivering faster and cheaper services, neglecting demand management, which hinders effective IT investments. Research indicates that managing IT demand requires tools like service catalogues, chargebacks, project portfolio management, and key organisational enablers.
The IT Demand Management Process aims to understand, influence, and anticipate customer demand, working with Capacity Management to ensure adequate resources. Key elements include Business Case, Architecture Assessment, Valuation, and Financials.
Demand Management aligns with business requirements, engaging stakeholders and prioritising demands. Organisations can implement idea and demand management processes using applications like ServiceNow or JIRA to streamline ideas and find cost-effective, integrated solutions.
