The Company Recognized Material Improvement in Positioning for Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute

NORWALK, Conn., April 21, 2022—Shibumi, the only Strategic Portfolio Management platform built for the needs of senior executives, today announced that it has been included in Gartner’s 2022 Magic Quadrant for Strategic Portfolio Management1 for the second consecutive year since the report’s initial publication in 2021. The company recognized material improvement in positioning for both completeness of vision and ability to execute from 2021 to 2022.

Shibumi is also included in Gartner’s 2022 Critical Capabilities for Strategic Portfolio Management report2 for the second straight year.

Launched in 2021, Gartner’s Strategic Portfolio Management Magic Quadrant encompasses three separate disciplines: Strategy Execution Management (SEM), Enterprise Program and Portfolio Management (EPPM), and Integrated IT Portfolio Analysis (IIPA).

Shibumi views its 2022 positioning in the Magic Quadrant as recognition of the work the company has done over the past 10 years to help IT and business leaders come together to drive measurable business outcomes. Shibumi takes a strategy-first approach to business transformation, helping CIOs, CFOs, EPMOs and operations executives set goals and objectives, then maintain real-time visibility into the status, risks and expected outcomes across a portfolio of hundreds of projects, programs, products, and initiatives designed to help achieve those business goals.

Over the past year, Shibumi has made significant investments in its integration capabilities to make its solution even more robust for emerging IIPA and Enterprise Architecture (EA) use cases, while improving the accuracy of scenario planning via AI/ML technology. By integrating directly with these tools and technologies, Shibumi aims to help companies who have invested in these areas derive greater value from those investments, driving better business outcomes.

“Our positioning in the Magic Quadrant validates our 10 years of leadership in the SEM and EPPM markets,” said Bob Nahmias, Founder & CEO of Shibumi. “Our focus has always been on helping business leaders identify which initiatives, programs and products are going to drive the most value–and giving them a single source of truth to ensure that value is achieved. To date, we have helped our customers unlock billions of dollars in value. With our expanded capabilities and new integrations, we are confident we will help companies unlock billions more.”
