LPM (Lean Portfolio Management) helps organizations chart the best courses through Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity. LPM aligns technology initiatives with strategic goals. LPM simplifies decision-making.
LPM shows how it empowers portfolio leaders – to align strategy with execution, manage investments effectively, and deliver continuous value.
LPM is not just for executives …. it is also for Business Owners, Architects, RTEs, Scrum Masters/Team Coaches, Coaches, Product Management, Product Owners … basically, all roles and stakeholders – like the Value Management Office (VMO) and Lean Agile Center of Excellence (LACE) – critical in supporting execution and governance across the Portfolio.
In a way, LPM is like the “Camino de Santiago” walk/journey… it is not straightforward… it is like a “Seashell” – there are multiple routes (lines) to consider from base to tip: from France to Spain.
The journey involves Strategic thinking, Strategy and Funding, Execution, and Governance
Strategic Thinking is brainstorming the route.
Strategy is choosing the best route to reach your destination vis-a-vis the funds that you have.
Execution is to go on the journey… carry out the chosen route.
Tactics are step-by-step along the route.
At all times, there is Governance: be Lean (efficient) and be Agile (adaptive and act in a timely/speedy manner vis-a-vis changing circumstances).
That is what LPM looks like, in a way, and it is not just for exclusive set of people… it is for anybody who cares about the journey! Get on board… try it… it is the journey of a lifetime (the walk and/or LPM)
