Align Projects, Products and Outcome Metrics to Business Goals
The transition to new digital business models has further compounded the already complex task of setting clear and measurable objectives, aligning them with activities, and establishing metrics in line with those goals.

In most cases, traceability from project or product outcomes to business goals is limited due to a lack of patience in understanding goal implications. However, PMOs and portfolio management practitioners can help bridge this gap by ensuring a clear correlation between goals, measures, results, and initiatives. In this Gartner® report, which is titled ‘Align Projects, Products and Outcome Metrics to Business Goals’, we believe you will gain valuable insights into:
- How PMOs can improve and optimize business goals in case they are not clear or non-existent.
- Approaches and recommendations to consider for identifying projects, products and any activities needed to achieve strategic objectives.
- How to determine relevant and tangible metrics for each initiative that help establish a relationship between project outcomes and business goals.
