Case Study: The World Bank Group achieves automated application portfolio management and instant lineage reporting with Planview

The World Bank Group Delivers Increased Business Value with Application Portfolio Management

The World Bank Group, a global development institution serving 189 member countries, faced an IT management challenge: supporting thousands of devices and hundreds of applications without a single, reliable application portfolio or automated way to assess business alignment. With roughly 500 core applications, manual inventories and laborious impact analyses left leaders unable to determine which apps delivered value, required upgrades, or should be retired.

The World Bank implemented Planview’s capability and technology management solution as a single source of record to automate inventory collection, capture application-to-business capability lineages, and run impact analyses. The automated repository integrated with other tools, reduced architecture review time from eight weeks to seconds, improved trust and compliance across business lines, and enabled better-aligned investment decisions and planning.
