Adaptability, agility, and speed are crucial in the constantly evolving business landscape. Because of their complex nature, enterprises must navigate the choppy waters of constant change more than most—but Lean Portfolio Management can create a clear path.

Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) focuses on shifting your organisation from a more traditional approach of annual planning and budgeting cycles with fixed expectations to a more continuous agile approach suited to today's volatility and market disruption.

An extension of Lean methodology, Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) is the application of agile practices across a large portfolio of business objectives. Its main goal is minimising waste and careless spending, helping organisations maximise efficiency and value.

Strategic and project portfolios are not the same. Tina Behers explains the key differences between the two and covers why understanding these differences can help organisations and project teams work more effectively and achieve their goals more efficiently.

As 2023 draws to a close, our experts got together to share their predictions for 2024. In the agile camp, we paired up Tina Behers, VP of Enterprise Agility, Aligned Agility and Jon Kern, Digital Transformation Consultant and Co-author of the Agile Manifesto.

Successfully adopting agile practices goes beyond changing development team processes. It demands a thorough assessment of the organisation's readiness for transformation across all aspects of the business. 

Many organisations believe that implementing a tool is a silver bullet. It is not, but technology can help support your people and processes during your agile transformation. Let us explain.
