Agile Portfolio Management
As organizations scale agile practices, they often stumble when it comes to determining how to reconcile their agile projects with their existing portfolio and governance policies. What worked for a traditional project lifecycle may not be appropriate for agile projects. This webinar will introduce new methods and techniques for managing agile project portfolios. You will learn how these methods provide companies with the ability to systematically improve expected return by actively responding to market and business changes. Specifically we will cover:
- Building the capability to manage portfolio performance by using Real Options and Active Portfolio Management
- Methods for optimizing organizational project priorities in the face of capacity and capital constraints
- An overview of methods for project governance that support Agile projects and portfolios
