IT Portfolio Process

Our current Portfolio Process, which is active since October 2024, have two different flows, based on the type of request:

  • IT Initiative: Following the standard Guardians Validation Process, online review including FIVE PHASES - Envision, Strategize, Plan, Deliver & Roll-Out
  • IT Friendly Request (for Small Software Purchases & Licenses Extensions): Following a faster process lane (10 working days), where the the IT Counterpart (Product Manager) will simply need to complete our IT Friendly Request (a questionnaire). This process can only be used to request a Stand-Alone Application (Small Softwares) or a Licenses Extention of an Existent Solution for NON-IT Managed Solutions

The Guardians are here to assist you on your journey to getting your initiative approved! They play a crucial role in determining whether your initiatives meet the right requisites to become reality. You can meet them at the Guardians Meeting, which takes place every Monday from 2 pm to 3:30 pm Brussels time.

To secure a slot at the Guardians Meeting and present your initiative, all you have to do is contact the Portfolio Team at least one working day in advance and ask for a slot for the next meeting.
Each quarter, your initiatives are reviewed with various GBU SPOCs & BSA to determine their priority. Prioritization is driven by the business, while IT provides insights into constraints and offers guidance on technical solutions.
