Aligning Strategy with Execution using the Scaled Agile Framework
About this Event

Aligning strategy with execution is critical to any organization’s success and a key aspect of Scaled Agile Framework®. With a Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) approach, you can collaborate across silos, empower teams, and organize around value to adapt to what customers want, faster.

The Lean Portfolio Management course helps executives, project management officers (PMOs) and other key stakeholders plan dynamically and be flexible enough to adjust initiatives and budgets as the market changes. The LPM course provides the guidance and tools attendees need to work effectively in remote environments with distributed teams. You’ll learn how to connect portfolio strategy and initiatives to the agility planning and execution of work, how to integrate feedback from participatory budgeting, and how to adapt to change while maintaining your funding vision and roadmap.

Attendees learn:

How to connect the portfolio to the enterprise
How to maintain portfolio vision and roadmap
How to establish Lean budgets and guardrails
How to create portfolio flow

Lean Portfolio Management answers the questions:

How do I connect strategy to execution?
How do I manage flow and solve perpetual overload?
How can I fund and govern dynamically?
How does Lean Portfolio Management fit into SAFe?
