Summary


  • Portfolio management is a vital linkage between business strategy and tactical project execution.

  • External influences in the agile paradigm are felt at the project level, as well as at the strategy and business objectives levels. This, in turn, can create an upstream ripple effect from the project level to the strategy level.

  • In the agile environment, integrating the project management and portfolio management processes will lead to greater success in achieving business objectives and strategy.

  • In the agile paradigm, objectives are often achieved through a portfolio of many smaller, but closely linked, projects.

  • In the agile environment, portfolio management is an ongoing effort, often best managed by a portfolio program manager rather than executive management.

  • It is critical to understand resource allocation in the agile environment so that resources can be efficiently shifted between projects, as necessary.

  • Coming at the resource estimates from both the project and portfolio levels will increase your confidence in the results, as well as make the maintenance less painful for your team.
