Strategic Spend Tracking for PPM enables demand and project managers to determine how and where funding is being spent during the execution of a demand or project.

Organizations generally determine and approve investment budgets that represent the funds allocated to achieve their goals. Strategic Spend Tracking for PPM focuses on allocating your investment budget through demands and projects, and tracking the expenditure to achieve your organizational goals.

Each demand and project contributes to achieving one or multiple organizational goals. You can use the Strategic Spend Tracking for PPM to perform the following tasks:

-   Associate multiple strategies and goals with a demand or project.
-   Allocate a percentage of the demand or project's total cost and benefits towards achieving one or more strategies and goals.
-   Generate strategy and goal allocation breakdowns for a demand or project for the fiscal year.
-   View the roll up of strategy and goal breakdowns from different demands and projects in the strategy and goal record.
-   Use the Strategic Spend Tracking for PPM dashboard to track planned costs, actual costs, and benefits for projects aligned to organizational goals and strategies over time.
