I coach and train teams and organisations, creating movement by uncovering limiting patterns in behaviour and underlying believes, as an enabler to grow ownership. I strive for sustainable change. More and more organizations are adopting Agile ways of working. Starting at teamlevel, product delivery becomes more reliable, quality increases. Still, leadtime –the time it takes from the product idea to first emerge until delivery to the market- is often not significantly improving. The way the traditional organization is structured, is holding back to become truly responsive. Analysis of flow in these organizations usually show the upstream decision making process regarding new product ideas and initiatives to be the main bottleneck. Agile Portfolio Management offers a way to make the decision making process regarding your product- or service development explicit and transparant. It creates a shared understanding of the choices being made and what the current roadmap looks like. It establishes buy-in at strategy level for both management and their stakeholders. Moreover, it sets realistic expectations and aligns the teams. As capacity is always limited, it is necessary to make choices. Agile Portfolio Management arranges for this. Agile Portfolio Management will onset two more accelerators in your transformation to become a customer centric, responsive enterprise: “HR for Agile” and “Finance for Agile”. If you would like to explore these accelerators further, do not hesitate to contact me.
