Portfolio Management &
Delivery Road Mapping
We help you stand up or improve your Portfolio Management practice:
-
We work with your team to assess what is working well already, and what will benefit most from enhanced approaches – while keeping the rate of change to a digestible amount and pace.
Portfolio Management has (similarly to Project Management) been overshadowed by agile delivery approaches – which can, to be fair, tick along predictably and productively… in the right circumstances.
-
However, the planning and oversight of groups of disparate initiatives remains a necessity:
-
To handle intra- and extra-organization constraints and pressures beyond the concern of any single initiative;
-
To interface with the less-than-agile aspects of running an organization: fiscal year planning, procurement, human resource forecasting, and strategic initiative prioritization and sequencing.
-
-
Delivering and enhancing complex products involving blends of in-house and vendor components (off-the-shelf or customized) is never as simple as tracking items in a backlog and burning through them:
-
It takes an ongoing combination of negotiation, funding securement, and prioritization against other initiatives, all of which require experience and an organized approach to managing the portfolio
-
We also help you bridge the gap between your Product/Strategy and Delivery teams with our experience-driven approach to Portfolio Management.
-
Your best-looking strategy is just theoretical without a pragmatic, reality-grounded road map to deliver its objectives.
DxW helps meet your Portfolio’s goals using Integrated Delivery Road Mapping, which:
-
Integrates with Product and Strategy teams to understand business-needed enhancements and priorities;
-
Closes the feedback loop from internal and external Delivery and Technology teams;
-
Works alongside Product and Portfolio teams to select tradeoffs and determine initiative sequencing to produce a grounded, achievable, and optimized Integrated Delivery Road Map (IDRM™).
DxW will maintain the living road map for the duration you require and, in parallel, coach your in-house Product and Portfolio staff in regular road map performance review and maintenance.
