The TBM Council 2022 State of TBM Report
For the second annual State of TBM survey, the TBM Council captured responses and insights from 563 technology practitioners across every global region to share how their companies utilize Technology Business Management (TBM). The results provide insights into the evolution of TBM as it serves the continuous changes occurring within business, finance, and technology departments. Here’s what they had to say.
TBM: THE DISCIPLINE FOR TECHNOLOGY VALUE MANAGEMENT

TECHNOLOGY FUNDING: INCREASING TRANSPARENCY & TRUST WITH FINANCE
69%
of technology departments include agile development costs within their TBM business models.
There is a clear shift beyond the “Core IT” services and products upon which TBM models have traditionally placed their focus.
52%
of organizations are using products or value streams as the funding mechanism for software development.
Agile transformations are reaching beyond traditional IT and reshaping Finance’s support of technology – driving a value-based convergence between finance, technology, and business.
TBM practices, or centers of excellence (COEs), will need to provide consistent transparency across the lifecycle of product-focused investments. This transparency enables technology funding to be more agile and more connected to demand, resources, and business outcomes.
ARTICULATING VALUE WHILE EMBRACING NEW TECHNOLOGIES & WAYS OF WORKING
As new technologies are adopted, TBM classifies and positions those costs into the strategic technology framework used to support business insight and outcomes. TBM has evolved with the changing demands of the modern business, and the needs of supporting finance and technology teams.

1
Providing information and analytics on impact and value realization
2
Identifying new optimization opportunities
3
Becoming a driving force behind the increasing improvement and utility of data.
