Why Lean Portfolio Management?
Organizations that focus on defining projects that span more than a year often get stuck in situations where teams are incentivized to meet out-of-date project goals, instead of delivering value early or seeking early feedback on market-fit. Lean portfolio management methods help organizations: Shift the operations focus to delivering incremental value at shorter cadences for larger initiatives. Leverage the cadences to achieve shorter feedback loops. Feedback collected via internal teams, external focus groups, customers, or end users helps measure progress towards the organization’s target outcomes. Ruthlessly apply the feedback to reinvest in ideas that produce good outcomes and downshift on ideas that do not produce good outcomes and downshift on ideas that do not. Lean Portfolio Management, informed by lean principles and built through a better understanding of customer value (and how to deliver it quickly), remedies some common pain points in large organizations.
