3 3 WHAT ARE WE EXPLORING Using portfolio management so we focus on the most valuable things Balancing capacity against demand How be adaptive and support continuous improvement How to support corporate governance (security, audit etc.)

4 DEFINE PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT 4 PMI S DEFINITION Portfolio management ensures that an organization can leverage its project selection and execution success. It refers to the centralized management of one or more project portfolios to achieve strategic objectives. Our research has shown that portfolio management is a way to bridge the gap between strategy and implementation.

It refers to the centralized management of one or more project portfolios to achieve strategic objectives. Our research has shown that portfolio management is a way to bridge the gap between strategy and implementation. INVESTOPEDIA S DEFINITION Portfolio management is the art and science of making decisions about investment mix and policy, matching investments to objectives, asset allocation for individuals and institutions, and balancing risk against performance.

6 WHAT IS AN AGILE WORLD?

7 7 WHAT DO I MEAN? BACKLOGS TEAMS WORKING TESTED SOFTWARE Defines capabilities to build Small enough for the team to develop in a few days Everything and everyone necessary to deliver Meets acceptance criteria No known defects No technical debt

8 8 WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT? CLARITY ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURABLE PROGRESS People have clarity around what to build People understand how it maps to the big picture Teams can be held accountable for delivery No indeterminate work piling up at the end of the project

9 9 HOW DOES IT SCALE? GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE METRICS Governance is the way we make economic tradeoffs in the face of constraints They way we form teams and foster collaboration at all levels of the organization What do we measure, how do we baseline performance and show improvement?

20 GOVERNANCE FLOW

21 21 GOVERNANCE Governance is the method for planning, coordinating and tracking requirements. Agile requirements are progressively elaborated from Epics, to Features and finally Stories. FEATURE USER STORY A measurable goal intended to deliver on the intent of an Initiative. Epics are defined and validated by Core Product Teams. A new or improved capability of the system. Features deliver a package of functionality that end users would generally expect to get all at once. Stories are small outcomes designed, built, tested, and delivered in 3-5 days. Stories are elaborated collaboratively between Delivery and Program Teams.

22 22 PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT DEMAND MANAGEMENT DETAILED PLANNING EXECUTION GOVERNANCE MEASURE EFFECTIVENESS Maximize Strategic Alignment Increase Transparency Organizational focus on delivering the most valuable work Increase predictability Reduce Time to ROI Identify and plan for dependencies Balance capacity and demand Reduce rework Improve quality Agree to minimal capabilities needed to deliver value Ensure credible release planning Assess and guide the progress of value delivery Minimize delivery risks Continually make continue, pivot, kill, ship decisions Revisit business case Validate fitness function for capability

24 PORTFOLIO PLANNING

25 25 PORTFOLIO PLANNING Deliverables associated with each Planning level Strategy to the Scrum teams DESCRIPTION Strategic Planning: month horizon, Strategy Council provides Strategic Roadmap derived from Group long term and short term strategy Portfolio Planning: 6-12 month horizon, based on the Strategic Initiative budget allocation and the priority of the Programs Program Roadmap: 2-6 month horizon, based on the Platform and Product budget allocation and the business priorities Release Planning: 2-6 month horizon, Sequencing delivery of Epics, Features, Stories based on business priority Sprint (Iteration) Planning: 1-4 sprint horizon, Delivery team commitments for Stories in the next Iteration Task Planning: One sprint horizon, Delivery team delineates stories into tasks, and assigns tasks to team members STRATEGY PORTFOLIO PROGRAM RELEASE ITERATION TASK DELIVERABLES Strategy Statement Strategic Initiative budget allocation Portfolio Roadmap Portfolio budget allocation Portfolio Priorities Program Roadmap Product budget allocation Product Priorities Epic Priorities, Epic and Feature Sequencing Delivery Team assignment Story Sequencing Delivery Team commitment Task Definition Delivery Team member commitment

26 26 PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT BRIEF: Supports the definition and flow of epics from new concept until they are delivered or killed. PORTFOLIO PLANNING SHEET: Decisioning tool that helps determine prioritization of the release backlog. PORTFOLIO DASHBOARD: Indicator of health of epics, risks, and dependency impacts. RELEASE PLANS: Credible plan to meet release objectives. ROADMAP: Roadmap of epics into the future.

38 PRIORITIZATION TECHNIQUES

39 39 MOSCOW PRIORITIZATION MUST Minimum subset of requirements that must be delivered Important but not needed to have a viable solution Desired but less important WON T Things we have agreed to not deliver

40 40 COST OF DELAY If you only measure one thing, measure cost of delay - D. Reinertsen, The Principles of Product Development Flow COST OF DELAY: The revenue that could be earned each month a project is in the market

41 41 COMPARE 3 Features of a certain value with a CD3 calculation (value / duration) Total amount of value across three features is $19,000 FEATURE DURATION VALUE CD3 A 3 weeks $ B 4 weeks $ C 6 weeks $

42 42 PRIORITY IMPACT ON COST OF DELAY No Priority Total Cost of Delay: $247k Shortest Job First Total Cost of Delay: $175k Do The Most Valuable First - Total Cost of Delay: $187k DO BASED ON CD3 TOTAL COST OF DELAY: $157K

43 DEMAND MANAGEMENT

44 HOW TO EXPRESS CAPACITY? 44

45 CAPACITY CAN BE EXPRESSED AS 45 TEAM MONTHS TEAM SPRINTS TEAM RELEASES STORY POINTS Only 25% of the Team Months for Team X remain for FY17 (e.g. 3 months remaining of 12 months this year) There are 6.5 Team Sprints for Team X remaining for FY17 (e.g. 13 weeks / 2 weeks per sprint) There are 2.25 Team Releases for Team X remaining for FY17 (e.g. 13 weeks / 3 Sprints per Release) There are 150 Story Points available for the remainder of the year (e.g. Average velocity of 25 SPs x 6.5 Sprints remaining)

46 ALL WHICH DERIVE THEIR USE FROM STABLE VELOCITY! 46 TEAM MONTHS Only 25% of the Team Months for Team X remain for FY17 (e.g. 3 months remaining of 12 months this year) TEAM SPRINTS There are 6.5 Team Sprints for Team X remaining for FY17 (e.g. 13 weeks / 2 weeks per sprint) TEAM RELEASES STORY POINTS There are 2.25 Team Releases for Team X remaining for FY17 (e.g. 13 weeks / 3 Sprints per Release) There are 150 Story Points available for the remainder of the year (e.g. Average velocity of 25 SPs x 6.5 Sprints remaining) DELIVERY TEAM Meaningless without Stable Velocity.

47 CAPACITY IS INVESTED TO OBTAIN OUTCOMES MONTHS INVESTMENT THEMES % ~ 17.5 TEAM MONTHS 20% ~ 10 TEAM MONTHS 25% ~ 12.5 TEAM MONTHS 20% ~ 10 TEAM MONTHS 2O% 35% 2O% 25% Early on you can roadmap out what you re willing to invest capacity for across investment themes Program Capacity Over Next 10 Months = 50 Team Months

48 ROADMAPS

49 AGILE USES ROLLING WAVE PLANNING 49 Rolling Wave Planning, used in Agile processes, embraces the Lean ideal of making decisions at the last responsible moment, when the most possible information is available. This maximizes flexibility and planning accuracy.
