Strategic Spend Tracking for PPM

Strategic Spend Tracking for PPM enables project or demand managers to evaluate the strategic value of organization’s projects and demands. You can identify the purpose and benefits of executing demands and projects and how they contribute to achieving company's strategies and goals.

Strategic Spend Tracking for PPM enables demand and project managers to determine how and where funding is being spent during the execution of a demand or project.
