LPM uses Lean Budgeting and Participatory Budgeting (PB) to handle yearly expenses:
Budgets are planned at the portfolio level, by Value Stream, not project
Spending boundaries are managed through guardrails, not fixed project budgets
Reallocation happens continuously based on value, learning, and capacity – not calendar cycles
This means:
The annual plan exists, but funding flows dynamically across initiatives during the year.
