Saving time and money has never been easier. OneSpring’s approach makes it simple to analyze your company’s project portfolio, and our process saves 50% over traditional methods.

Corporations in every industry vertical around the world evaluate their project portfolios on a very regular basis: annually at minimum; sometimes even monthly. One of the greatest challenges in these evaluations is making the critical “go” or “no go” decision on whether to include a project within a portfolio. Innovative, leading-edge companies have discovered that it is not enough to measure only the quantitative metrics of a project portfolio. To ensure success, they must also consider the importance of qualitative aspects, such as aesthetics, ease-of-use and other attributes that speak to the emotional side of design that influence “buy” and/or “usage” behaviors.

Traditionally, creating a prototype of the project has been the preferred approach for conducting the various qualitative evaluations that are included in the portfolio analysis process. However, with limited budgets and increasing time constraints demanding “more with less” has made prototyping for each project in a portfolio near impossible for many corporations.

Previsualization is a modern method for prototyping that typically takes 50% of the time and budget that traditional prototyping required to achieve the same beneficial results. This is accomplished by using iRise to simulate an application without using code. The process doesn’t require large teams of developers, instead using business analysts or user experience professionals to quickly build the visualization in iRise. Due to these factors, the savings of performing previsualization can, in some instances, provide savings even greater than 50% over traditional code-based prototypes that are typically throw-away.

The process was originally created in the motion picture industry as a means for film makers to quickly and cost-effectively plan each shot of their movie. Using a lower resolution version, they could easily visualize each scene and make changes before producing the expensive high-resolution version. OneSpring has brought this technique to the software industry, providing corporations the ability to rapidly prototype or previsualize their project portfolios whether they include a mobile device application, a mainframe modernization to web-application and anything in-between.

Conclusion
With cost savings typically over 50%, OneSpring’s novel previsualization process along with advanced tools like iRise allows companies to prototype their projects faster and more efficiently to better evaluate the qualitative aspects of their portfolio. This critical perspective can help determine the essential factors required to properly manage your company’s portfolio of projects that best meet your customers’ needs and the goals of the business.
