There is disclosed a system and method for managing an application
portfolio. In an embodiment, a system is designed to provide a balanced,
cohesive, end-to-end approach to application portfolio management. Taking
into account a number of decision drivers for application portfolio
management (e.g. business drivers, technology drivers, financial drivers,
and staffing/labor drivers), the system attempts to process this
information, using one or more fuzzy logic algorithms derived from one or
more expert knowledge bases, into an actionable implementation plan and
business case. Upon validation of the implementation plan and business
case, one or more of the expert knowledge bases may be updated with
additional expert knowledge.
