Migrating to a predominantly SAP environment, globally, we are looking towards SAP to support us in as many as possible areas of Project, Program & Portfolio management and also for (IT) governance.

Does SAP have the mechanisms on board to treat projects, programs and portfolios actually as projects, programs and portfolios, or is merely the financial impact of these areas captured?

SAP solution manager

idea posted by Sanjay Gambhir Project Lead, Infosys
SAP' Solution Manager should provide you all that you are looking for. SAP Solution Manager is a platform that provides the integrated content, tools, and methodologies that you need to implement, support, operate and monitor your SAP and non-SAP solutions.

SAP solution manager has templates, service desk, monitoring, reporting, and documentation capabilities. The SAP Solution Manager supports you throughout the entire life-cycle of your solutions, from the Business Blueprint to the configuration to production processing. It provides central access to tools, methods and preconfigured contents which you can use during evaluation, implementation and operational processing of your systems.

Some of it features are:

Central access to all tools for your project (Project Administration, Business Blueprint, Configuration, Test Workbench, Group Rollout templates)

Central management of all information for your Project (roadmaps, system landscape, project documentation)

Compare and synchronize customizing in different SAP components

Central System administration

Analysis of your system landscape with Service Level Reporting

Real-time System Monitoring

Business process monitoring

Access to programs and Services to monitor and optimize the performance and availability of your system landscapes, and minimize risks when running your systems

Solution support with workflow to Create and Process Problem Messages

Manage change requests, with workflow to trace and audit changes and transports in your system landscape with Change Request Management.

Add your argument:

SAP Product Life Cycle Management (PLM)

It's fairly mature.

Would suggest though to refer to Gartner's magic quadrant on PPM.

SAP software

 In my opinion no application solves project, programm and portfolio management for you if you do not have the right people, procedures, attitude in your organization to manage these aspects accordingly. BUT YES, SAP has software, SAP Solution Manager, which helps you to manage projects and even programs. I am not sure it is suitable for portfolio management and no I do not think it suites IT governance. If you need IT governance, think you could check the best pratice models of ASL, BiSL and ITIL.
