TBM Council Launches 2026 State of Technology Business Management (TBM) Survey

BELLEVUE, Wash. - EntSun -- The Technology Business Management (TBM) Council today officially launched the 2026 State of TBM survey. Now in its sixth year, this annual study serves as the world's most comprehensive benchmark for technology and finance leaders optimizing IT investments and aligning tech strategy with corporate goals.

The 2026 research pivots from basic cost transparency toward how modern enterprises adapt their operating models to drive tangible business value. Key focus areas include:

• AI Value Realization: Funding, governing, and measuring returns on AI investments.
• Operating Model Integration: The convergence of TBM with FinOps and Agile product funding.
• Culture & Change Leadership: Overcoming silos to align business, tech, and finance teams.
• Expanded Governance: Tracking TBM's footprint in sustainability and risk management.

"This year, we are looking closely at the cultural and operational shifts required by AI and modern Agile funding," said Justin Mann, Head of Standards, Research, & Education at the TBM Council. "The data collected directly shapes global TBM standards and educational paths for practitioners."
