Strategy

1. Where are we trying to go?
2. How did we get where we are?
3. Do we have a "Clear line of sight" from:
   1. IT Portfolio Management to the Line of Business (LOB) to the Company Portfolio Managment?
4. Do we know how we make money?
5. Do we know which of our stored Information will put us out of business, if we lose it?
6. Do we know which of our stored Information generates 80% of our gross revenue?
7. The Unit of Technology supports the Line of Business (LOB)
   1. Is this LOB a:
      1. Performance oriented LOB?
         1. Uses OLTP mostly
      2. Bandwidth oriented LOB?
         1. Uses OLAP and OLCP with some OLTP
8. Meets the IT Portfolio Management "Lower Metrics" requirements of:
   1. Configuration
   2. Replication - two worlds here. OLTP and OLAP and/or OLCP
      1. Migration is mass Replication
   3. Re-Configuration
9. Meets the IT Portfolio Management TCO, ROI requirements
10. Meets the Managed Unit of Information SLA/SLM requirements
11. Meets the Managed Unit of Technology SLA/SLM requirements
