"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

Simplify Decisions

Pain
Profit
-
Many decisions require numerous meeting and personnel
-
Decisions often need to be approved from multiple parties
-
Decisions involving compliance and/or policy require executive-level approval
-
Decisions often require extensive effort to assess options and impacts
-
Automating decisions in processes and systems requires significant effort in test planning and diagnostics
-
Decisions often have secondary and/or unintended consequences, so it is rare that “important” decisions are left to staff or 3rd parties
Decisions that are linked to many other decisions that can impact strategy or ongoing operations take too long causing delays in operations or projects
-
Decisions are typically made quickly and on the spot by staff
-
When decisions impact other areas, options and impacts are provided so everyone can align on a direction quickly
-
Systems and processes are designed to adapt to changes in compliance and/or policy (run-time versus design time)
-
When decisions have a cascading impact across the organization, we learn from these so that we can build in isolation and insulation to accelerate future decisions
-
Impact analysis for issues, ideas, and decisions is instantly visible for analysis, which simplifies decision making and reduces cycle time for projects and operations
