Project To Product Operating Models In A Portfolio Context
- Most organizations wait way too long to adopt some portfolio-level agility practices. A lighter touch intervention at the portfolio level can start improving the flow, making change more favourable.
- Starting at the Portfolio level, gives you leverage as a leader to make an impact on the systemic constraints to Product thinking, Flow, and Empiricism.
- A lot of leaders do realize that there's a mismatch between their portfolio/organizational operating system and the delivery approach used by teams/groups.
- Lean Portfolio Management is about transforming your IT portfolio from a feature factory managing scattered investments to creating a product-oriented mega-lab that drives growth, value, and resilience.
- The journey to a product-oriented portfolio has four stages: Crawl, Walk, Run, and Fly. Each stage helps your organization evolve towards agility, evidence-based decision-making, and continuous alignment.
- In the early stages, it is focused on establishing flow. Then, it is about reorganizing around value and outcomes and eventually being evidence-informed.
- Leaner Portfolio Management orients around outcomes, where the right people collaborate closely with each other, where people naturally and efficiently integrate and experiment, and where there’s a goldilocks mix of alignment, autonomy, and guardrails
- The journey isn’t about frameworks or processes—it’s about behaviors. Eventually, treating your entire business like a product.
- Lean Startup principles guide how you adapt and grow, and every aspect of the industry evolves in response to real-world feedback.
- Check out the free email course that goes into more depth on how to leverage Flow and Evidence-based Management to scale an Agile Product Operating Model, moving from projects to products at the Portfolio level.
