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.

​

1. 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.
      

2. 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.
