Background

In 2019 the our customer embarked on an Agile journey, changing how they organize primarily their digital development and communication. Since then, multiple cross functional delivery organizations have been established with autonomy as a main design principle. Even though autonomy and team empowerment has been a goal, there is still a need to align deliveries and cross cutting initiatives/projects/big bets, across our delivery organizations.

A conscious decision was to focus on prioritization and planning within the delivery organizations, however, the customer is now at a point where they see a need to develop an Agile portfolio management capability. They currently have a good approach and maturity in how they prioritize and plan within the delivery organizations. What they are re trying to complement it with is an ability to coordinate, prioritize and align on direction and large complex development needs, aligning strategy and execution.

The purpose of the Agile portfolio management capability is to enable strategy execution where the customer can set a common direction and higher-level prioritization that enables better decision making and a common focus.
