portfolio management provides a global view on resources and their distribution across individual projects, based on
strategic choices.
Agile Portfolio Management: Not Just Another BuzzwordKeyedIn Projects
The document discusses agile portfolio management. It outlines three guiding principles: managing and delivering products instead of projects, centralizing project and portfolio management regardless of methodology, and practicing concepts of continuous improvement. Examples are provided for each principle. The webinar will also cover how agile portfolio management can enable sustainable business growth.
Herding cats or flocking birds - agile portfolio managementDave Sharrock
Managing the evolution of a single product working with a small number of teams is somewhat straightforward. Working from a single backlog, once the teams have established a predictable velocity, the product roadmap becomes relatively easy to visualize, whether by timeframe or feature set. As we increase the complexity of the product, things become harder. Different teams require different backlogs. Different products require work from different teams. Before you know it, there are lots of independent moving parts, with the risk that the coordination cost becomes higher and efficiency falls. In this talk, we consider some ground rules for visualizing work across multiple teams and discuss how dependencies are coordinated across different teams and product lines.
Intro to Agile Portfolio Governance Presentation Cprime
This webinar will provide guidance on effective ways to conduct Portfolio Management, using our concepts of Agile Governance to simplify and expedite the key decisions. These techniques can applied for Agile, hybrid, and classic plan-driven processes.
The document discusses introducing agile governance into an organization. It proposes an agile governance framework called [sKale] that treats the organization as a team. Key aspects of agile governance include establishing goals, defining roles and responsibilities through an "organization onion" model, focusing on employee engagement, value creation and customer satisfaction. It also discusses using agile earned value management (EVM) metrics to measure outcomes rather than outputs and integrate cost and schedule performance. Metrics like actual cost, planned value, earned value, budget at completion and estimates at completion are calculated to provide objective analysis for decision making.
In the latter part of the year, KeyedIn conducted a survey to get an understanding of the challenges and goals of the PMO. We surveyed hundreds of project practitioners from various levels of the organization to uncover some key insights to help moving forward.
Lean Portfolio Strategy Part 2: Shifting from Imitation to Real LPM - The Mov...Cprime

Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) is touted as a world-changing paradigm. A shift that promises to boost productivity, time to market, quality, customer satisfaction, revenue, and a host of other vital business metrics. It promises to transform the organization to a leaner, more agile version of itself, primed to innovate effortlessly and outperform its competition at every turn.
Most organizations who have tried to establish LPM find the reality to be more nuanced than that. These companies end up implementing “Imitation LPM” where actions and some process changes may be in place and functioning, but the real promise of LPM- the increased agility and reduced waste- is not occurring.
Real LPM assumes that work is funded by value streams with teams organized around delivery of products and services that are valuable to customers. This is, perhaps, the hardest part of implementing LPM.
In part 1 of this webinar we explored how signs of imitation LPM show up in an organization’s approach to strategy. In this second of our series, we join Michiko Quinones (Jira Align Consultant) and Jean Dahl (General Manager, Scaled Agility) to explore:
- How to organize around value streams
- Real world examples of organizations who have successfully shifted from imitation value streams to true value streams
- The impact to funding and budgeting cycles

Lean Portfolio Strategy Part 3: Epic Management - Take the ExitsCprime
Organizations might have set up all the process steps for portfolio flow: the monthly strategic portfolio review, the portfolio kanban, even the lean business case. But, they are still not getting the idea that small, testable, constantly evaluated initiatives are what really increase your output of value to the customer and put you way ahead of the competition.

Now, in this third webinar in our Lean Portfolio Management series we’ll join Cprime's Michiko Quinones (Jira Align Consultant), Jean Dahl (General Manager, Scaled Agility), & Neha Tiwari (Business Agility Portfolio Consultant) to learn techniques to:
Question performing work that doesn't clearly align to your organization's strategy
Develop a process that makes things smaller and testable when it comes to initiative creation and management
Build a culture that allows work to stop if it's not going to meet its intended purpose
Make sure that you are "thinking lean," rather than just "doing lean"
The webinar discussed portfolio planning and project prioritization. It began with introductions and an overview of the presentation. The presenter then discussed what portfolio planning is and why it is important for ensuring resources are allocated to the most important projects. Various techniques for scoring and prioritizing projects were covered, including developing criteria and models. The presentation concluded with a discussion of considerations for implementing scoring at an organization and tips for ongoing portfolio replanning.
Analysis is so important to agile teams they do it every day. Every. Single. Day. In some respects agile teams perform analysis in a very different manner than traditional teams, and in some respects in a very similar manner. Agile analysis is collaborative and evolutionary in nature. Disciplined agile analysis takes it up a notch to address the complexity factors agile teams face at scale.
In this presentation we discuss how disciplined agile teams address analysis activities throughout the lifecycle. The transition to agile requires a mindset, skill set, and very often role change for people who are currently business analysts. On the majority of agile teams the role of business analyst has disappeared, but in some situations at scale the role is of vital importance – this isn’t your father’s software team any more. Lessons learned from several organizations making the transition to agile will be shared.
Key learning points:
• Discover how disciplined agile teams approach analysis, and modeling in general
• Learn agile analysis and modeling strategies
• Discover how business analysts can transition to an agile environment

Disciplined Agile Outsourcing: Making it work for both the customer and the s...Scott W. Ambler
Outsourcing projects suffer from two significant yet easily addressed problems. First, the customer’s instincts for how to run an outsourced project are more likely to hurt rather than help them. Second, service providers (SPs) prove to be little more than order takers that don’t have the courage to negotiate a winning strategy. The Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) process decision framework provides the foundation needed to succeed at “agile offshoring” by addressing the needs of both the customer and the SP. DAD is a goal-driven, hybrid agile, full delivery methodology that is enterprise aware and scalable. DAD provides a foundation from which you can tailor a viable strategy for disciplined agile outsourcing. This presentation explores strategies for effectively initiating and governing an outsourced IT delivery project in an agile manner. Outsourcing introduces a collection of risks that can be uniquely addressed with a disciplined agile strategy.
During this presentation you will learn:
• What the Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) framework is.
• The risks associated with outsourcing.
• Disciplined agile outsourcing from the point of view of the customer.
• Disciplined agile outsourcing from the point of view of the service provider.
• What you need to do to succeed at disciplined agile outsourcing.
• Industry statistics regarding agile outsourcing in practice
• Criteria to determine if you’re ready for outsourcing IT delivery projects.

3. The document argues that establishing shared objectives and improving communication can help overcome these forces and increase alignment among stakeholders.
This document discusses IT governance and project management frameworks. It covers the following key points:
- A report found that IT governance should reflect business needs, with the CIO focusing on needs analysis, decision making, and security. Cooperation between business and IT is key.
- A second report discussed implementing a holistic IT governance framework using approaches like COBIT, CMMI, ITIL, and ISO standards. Alignment between governance and operations is important.
- The document then discusses agile project management approaches like Scrum and how they can improve governance. Metrics like backlog size and velocity are used to measure progress.
- Finally, it explores how earned value management concepts can be integrated with
The document outlines an agenda for a webinar on making the case for Agile.

Agile Planning: 5 Steps to Agile Transformation Planning for Success -
Many are or will be implementing Agile in some form or other. For some, they are on their second, third, or even fourth attempt to really integrate and leverage Agile. Where Agile implementations fail is rarely with developers or other project staff.
Executives and other Senior Leaders are often the cause of failure or excess friction due to their hope that Agile will simply be faster and cheaper without having to change the organization culture…
In this presentation we focus on the 5 Steps to planning a successful Agile transformation that you can take back and apply all at once or one by one over time.
The document discusses agile leadership and how organizations need to adapt to constant change. It advocates for an agile approach where leaders emphasize collaboration, empowerment, learning and unlearning. The key aspects of agile leadership are outlined as setting a clear vision or strategy, establishing targets, empowering teams through humble management, focusing on individual effectiveness, and driving continuous improvement. Case studies on Amazon, Best Buy and CRISIL are presented showing how they embraced agile approaches to transform their businesses and focus on customers. The parting message is that agile leadership is essential for unlocking growth but must go beyond revenues and costs to truly transform organizations.
Agile is exploding in enterprises these days, moving past the experimental stag into full company rollouts. As this happens PMOs (portfolio management offices) and Agile Centers of Excellence are having to learn to work together to make team level agility align effectively with strategy.
Planview's Lean Agile Delivery Solution helps solve this problem by providing a combination of best-of-breed tools that provide agility at both the portfolio and team/team-of-teams levels of an organization. And by linking easily to existing development tools like Atlassian Jira and Microsoft TFS, Planview customers can gain the benefits of our product suite without forcing unnecessary changes on their agile teams.

Spreadsheets are not well-suited for real-time resource management, planning, risk identification, milestone tracking, forecasting, collaboration, portfolio management, project review, business agility, permissions and version control. A purpose-built PPM solution allows for more accurate and complete data, real-time updates, scenario planning, centralized visibility, governance and continuous improvement. KeyedIn PPM software provides a holistic and collaborative alternative to managing projects and resources with static spreadsheets.
If you’re managing software projects as part of your IT portfolio, you might be missing out on critical information causing delays or issues. Most portfolio-level insights can identify that projects might be delayed and which applications might be at risk, but often fail to provide information to explain why that’s happening or how it can be remedied.

Tom Raper, Director of Product Solutions at KeyedIn, presented on how spreadsheets are commonly used for project management but have significant downsides for collaboration, data management, and usability. While spreadsheets are flexible and easy to use, they make collaboration difficult, can only store limited information, require manual updates, and lack version control. This can result in projects taking longer and being harder to manage. Formal project management solutions can help address these issues and improve project success.

When it is all about ERP solutions, companies typically meet their needs with common ERP solutions like SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics. These big players have demonstrated that ERP systems can be either simple or highly comprehensive. This remains true today, but there are new factors to consider, including a promising new contender in the market that’s Odoo. This blog compares Odoo ERP with traditional ERP systems and explains why many companies now see Odoo ERP as the best choice.
What are ERP Systems?
An ERP, or Enterprise Resource Planning, system provides your company with valuable information to help you make better decisions and boost your ROI. You should choose an ERP system based on your company’s specific needs. For instance, if you run a manufacturing or retail business, you will need an ERP system that efficiently manages inventory. A consulting firm, on the other hand, would benefit from an ERP system that enhances daily operations. Similarly, eCommerce stores would select an ERP system tailored to their needs.
Because different businesses have different requirements, ERP system functionalities can vary. Among the various ERP systems available, Odoo ERP is considered one of the best in the ERp market with more than 12 million global users today.
Odoo is an open-source ERP system initially designed for small to medium-sized businesses but now suitable for a wide range of companies. Odoo offers a scalable and configurable point-of-sale management solution and allows you to create customised modules for specific industries. Odoo is gaining more popularity because it is built in a way that allows easy customisation, has a user-friendly interface, and is affordable. Here, you will cover the main differences and get to know why Odoo is gaining attention despite the many other ERP systems available in the market.

UI5con 2024 - Bring Your Own Design SystemPeter Muessig
How do you combine the OpenUI5/SAPUI5 programming model with a design system that makes its controls available as Web Components? Since OpenUI5/SAPUI5 1.120, the framework supports the integration of any Web Components. This makes it possible, for example, to natively embed own Web Components of your design system which are created with Stencil. The integration embeds the Web Components in a way that they can be used naturally in XMLViews, like with standard UI5 controls, and can be bound with data binding. Learn how you can also make use of the Web Components base class in OpenUI5/SAPUI5 to also integrate your Web Components and get inspired by the solution to generate a custom UI5 library providing the Web Components control wrappers for the native ones.
