Abstract:

A system that receives plurality of data that includes dimensions (e.g., revenue, profit margin, level of effort, urgency or alignment to the organization's technology strategy) and criteria (e.g., business unit, product, or service) that are relevant to drive an organization's priorities. The system generates a visual display on which a representation (e.g., a sphere, circle, square, or other shape) for each of the projects is depicted. In various embodiments, the user may select one dimension to be used as an x-axis scale of the visual display and a second dimension to be used as a y-axis scale of the visual display. The system plots a representation for each project against various dimensions that are meaningful to the business organization.
