What is the GigaOm Radar for Agile Planning and Portfolio Management (PPM)?

The GigaOm Radar for Agile Planning and Portfolio Management (PPM) is a forward-looking analysis report that plots the relative value and progression of vendor solutions based on technical capabilities and feature sets. The report provides a snapshot of the technical capabilities of available solutions, the perimeter of the market landscape, and the potential impact on the business.

The GigaOm Radar plots vendor solutions across a series of concentric rings, with those set closer to the center judged to be of higher overall value. The chart characterizes each vendor on two axes—balancing Maturity versus Innovation, and Feature Play versus Platform Play—while providing an arrow that projects each solution’s evolution over the coming 12 to 18 months.
