Jira Align Portfolio Management
The portfolio management team’s road to agility
The challenges often include:
- We have to get in front of the CFO (again) and provide definitive proof (which we don’t have) that the program teams are delivering work that maps back to strategic investment themes.
- Try as we might, we struggle with laying out a plan for how a more robust Agile/ bimodal process will be improved over time.
- We attempt to envision keeping to Lean-Agile principles (i.e., reducing WIP and managing flow), but we just can’t get our heads around trying that at scale.
Jira Align solves this by:
- Providing you with a real-time, top-to-bottom connected roadmap that performs datacrunching miracles allowing you to confidently dazzle the CFO with accuracy.
- Providing, in addition to the most popular scaled Agile frameworks, the ability to work in a Hybrid mode.
- Using Jira Align’s deep expertise to provide us with capabilities specifically designed for the SAFe framework-something we understand!
