Translating business strategy into initiatives, approving them, providing funding and tracking their execution are the traditional domain of portfolio management. Organizations that adopt a lean-agile way of working still need this function, while respecting the new way of working. The lean-agile transformation itself needs to benefit from best practices and support by Communities of Practice, and governance in order to maintain compliance with external regulations.

In this course, attendees will gain the practical tools and techniques necessary to implement the Lean Portfolio Management functions of Strategy and Investment Funding, Agile Portfolio Operations and Lean Governance.

Participants in the course will have the opportunity to capture the current and the future state of their portfolio with the Portfolio Canvas tool and identify important business initiatives for achieving the future state. Participants will be able to establish portfolio flow with the Portfolio Kanban and prioritize initiatives for maximum economic benefit. The course also provides insights on how to establish Value Stream Budgets and Lean Budget Guardrails and measure the Lean portfolio performance.
