"Fluid" Prioritization
Due to the dynamic nature of change, prioritization is no longer a discrete process that is performed at the front end of lifecycle development. Continuous change requires ongoing monitoring of external and internal inputs that can impact one project or many projects (even entire portfolios and beyond). Governance needs to be married to prioritization and elevated to support a more fluid process. Portfolio managers have to embrace a more dynamic model capable of aligning, rationalizing, and prioritizing initiatives to address the following impacts (partial list):
​
-
Risk (Data, Security, Operations, ...)
-
Budgets & Funding
-
Resources (employees & vendors)
-
Products & Services
-
Customers & Partners
-
Commitments (contracts & promises)
-
Strategy & Operations
-
Stakeholders (shareholders are but one)
​
Is it any wonder why decision makers, subject matter experts (SMEs), and executives are involved in so many meetings ? The current approaches are not scalable and you can't apply Agile to just work faster.
​
We can help you work smarter (not harder) so you can balance the above list of challenges. Some of the assistance includes:
​
-
Selection of technologies to harmonize the inputs
-
Data modeling and process design
-
Integrate Prioritization & Governance
-
Shift from discrete prioritization to continuous flow
-
Prioritization modeling and business case evaluation
-
Issue & Defect Management

Sponsoring the Agile Journey

Engaging leadership to sponsor change
Before embarking on your Agile journey, you will want to make sure you have the right sponsorship in place to obtain initial funding, secure resources, guide the roadmap of changes and support the team(s) as they move forward.
​
Some of the support will involve managing expectations (up, down, and across the organization) as well as promoting success in order to expand the coalition of support and secure funding for each stage of the journey.
​
You don't need to engage executive management during the initial phases of the journey. The sponsor will help engage stakeholders under his/her jurisdiction and help marshal resources (and funding) to establish momentum so the team can deliver a series of quick wins.
​
Once the foundation is set, the next round of expansion will move beyond the sponsor's control and you may need to engage one or more peers of the sponsor (with their guidance) and then bring a larger business case forward to an executive sponsor to build a coalition amongst executive leadership to expand the scope and commitment from the organization.
