"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

Driving Innovation
Ideate, Innovate, Differentiate
Reduce Cycle Time
Pain
Profit
-
Planning changes to existing products and services take too long
-
Our competition is able to deliver new releases of features every quarter
-
Marketing, sales, and manufacturing operations keep changing the priorities and scope of projects in the pipeline
-
We can only move as fast as Compliance and Quality can approve changes to products, systems, and operations
-
Our products are very complex, so making changes requires lengthy testing and validation
-
Investments in new ideas for products never get funded because they take too long to develop
Budgets for existing products, systems, and operations take priority over innovation, so we are stuck with incremental improvement
-
We continuously release new features and capabilities for our product and services to address customer needs
-
Our quarterly release cycle for products has transformed our company and positioned us as a market leader
-
Our IT department eliminated their 2-year backlog of projects and now are focused on driving innovation in our services and products
-
30% of our annual revenue comes from new products and services
-
Prioritization is now a fluid process thanks to investments we made on the front end of innovation and requirements management
-
The average turnaround time for product changes has dropped from 8 months to 3 months to support our quarterly release schedule
