Often time, there is confusion between PM tools (Project Management) and PPM tools (Project Portfolio Management), even though they don't have the same goals, so let's start by distinguishing between these two types of project management tool.
Le PM permet d’assurer la gestion d’un projet en particulier. Il va simplifier l’ensemble des missions du chef de projet :
Là où le PM optimise la planification d’un projet en particulier, un outil PPM va permettre d’organiser tous les projets d’une organisation.
Lorsqu’une entreprise évolue continuellement, elle arrive forcément à un stade où elle sera amenée à assurer la gestion de plusieurs projets en même temps. Et c’est justement lorsque ce nombre de projets commence à devenir important que les logiciels de gestion de portefeuille de projets deviennent indispensables.
Although the first project management tools began to appear as early as the 80s, it's worth noting that new companies have continued to develop competing software ever since. It's also interesting to note that, while all these software products now address project portfolio management issues, not all of them were initially developed to serve the same purpose! Some prioritized project management, while others addressed project portfolio management from the outset.
Problem targeted at the date of creation
We can see that a majority of project portfolio management tools actually began by offering project management services! It was only later that these were supplemented to enable several projects to be run optimally at the same time.
It's worth noting, however, that from the outset, some tools focused on project portfolio management (Planview), even if some of them also offered project management functions (Sciforma, Ganttic).
Today, almost all of these softwares meet both needs: project management and project portfolio management. It's clear, then, that there's a need to streamline decision-making in companies, whether on a project management scale, or on a more global scale using a PPM tool.

If project portfolio management tools don't all have the same functionalities, this is partly due to the way they were historically built, but it's also a consequence of the vision of project management they promote.
But why are there different visions of project management in IT Departments?
Most white papers on the subject agree that, in recent decades, the IT department has moved from a largely technical role to one focused on the business needs of the professions. The IT department is no longer reduced to ensuring the operation of the run, by providing purely technical assistance, but must also need to understand the needs of the various collaborators in order to bring them value in their core business.
IT departments' expectations of a tool to manage their projects have therefore inevitably evolved tremendously: from a monitoring tool to manage technical issues, IT departments often need their PPM tool to simplify communication with the business and the feedback of their needs, notably through the mediation of the project manager.
The development of digital technology enables CIOs to help their companies in new ways, and in particular by contributing more to the success of business goals. For example, an IT department can structure the digitization of processes, which saves time for the business units and helps them to be competitive with their competitors. It can even contribute to value creation, in particular by supporting changes to the company's business model. We can also think of the anecdote from Pierre Raschi, CEO of Référence DSI, in which he recounts how a part-time IT department enabled a butchershop to renew its ageing clientele thanks to digital technology.
This structural change in the era of digital technology for a company is leading to the IT department being entrusted with more responsibilities, which in turn means that it has to manage its projects differently, and therefore expects new functionalities from its PPM tools - which in turn means that these tools have to evolve!
The two changes outlined above imply an evolution in the way the IT department collaborates with the various departments and teams within its company. A technically-focused IT department used to try to control the behavior of its employees, so that they were not held back by any technical problems and the information system was not adversely affected. Today, if IT wants to have a positive impact on the company's business, it must be able to understand the needs of the various business units, and therefore work closely with them. And such collaboration requires breaking down the silos that may exist between departments, or within teams themselves, and involving each and every employee. Thus, an IT department wishing to control all existing processes will not need the same type of tool as one seeking to structure a strong collaboration with its teams.
To put it more bluntly, Maslow's pyramids represent two major visions of CIOs in opposition to each other:
Once you've understood that not all PPM tools meet the same needs, you have to ask yourself a question: which PPM is best suited to how I envision the role of the IT department, and to my goals?
Of course, there are PPMs that offer various functionalities, more or less advanced:
But beyond this list of features, it's possible to highlight opposing PPM styles to differentiate them more easily.
Some PPM softwares, such as ERPs, aim to meet all CIO needs in a single package. Many of them are effective, but their lack of flexibility once implemented means that you need to take the time to think things through before making your choice.
On the other hand, other softwares (often SaaS ones) offer fewer functionalities, but can be synchronized with existing tools. In this way, they avoid duplication and reduce the cost of changing a tool - whereas upgrading a heavy PPM tool will be a major, time-consuming and costly project.
These two types of tool do not correspond to the same vision of the IT department's role. In the case of a software that integrates with existing tools, the IT department is seen as no longer having to acquire a software that enables it to progress on all fronts, but rather as having to be able to connect and disconnect different tools, according to the company's evolution. The idea is to be able to stick to existing needs, constantly, and at lower cost.
Depending on the CIO's vision of his role within the company, a collaborative space incorporated directly into his PPM tool can really simplify his day-to-day work and that of his teams. While most companies already use "classic" channels for reporting business needs to the CIO (Teams, Slack), choosing to use a PPM software that offers a more structured exchange interface enables information to be centralized for more effective collaboration.
L’avantage qu’amène le choix de ces PPM est double. Tout d’abord, si l’on souhaite impliquer les collaborateurs d’une entreprise sur des sujets aussi techniques que ceux traités par la DSI, mieux vaut le faire sur une interface qui leur plaira. Il n’y a rien de plus décourageant que d’être invité à travailler sur un Excel géant lorsque l’on n'est pas la personne ayant passé des dizaines d’heures à le créer. Les PPM qui misent sur l’UX ont donc généralement une interface suffisamment intuitive pour faciliter la collaboration entre les profils techniques et business.
Le second avantage est d’augmenter le taux d’adoption de ces PPM : les collaborateurs ne mettront que quelques heures à se roder à l’utilisation de ces nouveaux logiciels plutôt que quelques jours, ce qui peut être un levier très intéressant si l’objectif est de mobiliser rapidement.
No tool is really neutral; each tool has an intrinsic methodology. If you want to maximize the adoption rate of your PPM tool, one of the key factors is to choose one that uses a methodology adapted to the functioning of your organization: at the level of existing processes, set objectives, or even your vision of project management.
Taking a PPM tool with a methodology opposite to the one in place would be as counterproductive as swimming against the current one. Thus, it is essential to question the methodology you want to apply, in order to choose your PPM tool accordingly.
While it's best to adopt a tool whose methodology is close to the reality of your operations, a PPM tool can also be a lever for changing your working processes and your company's culture. Indeed, a corporate culture is the fruit of the behavior it adopts in the face of a particular environment. So, if you change the environment, in particular by changing the software used, you change the culture!
This means it's possible to use a new tool to bring about a change in practices. However, you need to make sure that the desired change is not the opposite of what you are currently promoting. Indeed, if it is not accompanied by decisions and directives in the same direction, a tool alone cannot shake up the habits ingrained in an organization.
In short: choose a tool with a methodology close to the one you're currently promoting, or at least the one you'd like to implement.

Notre pari : pour parvenir à impliquer les métiers, la DSI a besoin de le outil PPM qu’ils sauront prendre en main rapidement, sans friction. Nous pensons que ce n’est pas en forçant les métiers à travailler sur des outils complexes que les entreprises parviendront à briser les logiques de silos et à structurer une collaboration étroite métiers/DSI.
We've taken this collaborative approach to its logical conclusion: AirSaas offers a search engine for solutions (external/internal) accessible to business managers. When a business has a need, it is already looking for solutions on its own, without necessarily informing the IT department, which can even end up dealing with Shadow IT.
Our idea here is to provide IT departments with a solution for managing these practices and structuring their efforts to find solutions, while helping them to understand the technical constraints of the information system.
AirSaaS is a lightweight PPM software that can be seamlessly integrated with existing systems, and which uses a strong collaborative methodology to involve the business units.
