Gartner forecasts that total software revenue for project & portfolio management software anticipated to continue annual growth of approximately 10% over the next three years to exceed annual revenues of $1 Billion in 2009.

This year's theme - PPM Steady IT Effectiveness In Unsteady Times - Strong project, program and portfolio management is emerging as a key element in sustaining IT's contribution during a period of U.S economic slowdown and world financial markets' uncertainty. PPM helps IT sharpen investment prioritization for both new and continuing project and programs. Its disciplines help optimize resource allocation and strategically align project and application portfolio spending, via PMO engagement and co-ordination with architectural goals, in both the private and public sectors.
