Abstract
The introduction of flexible project methods, or agile transformation, is perceived by many as a magic pill that will instantly solve most of the existing problems. But in practice, it turns out that it is not as easy to effectively carry out agile transformation as it seemed: some approaches do not work partially or at all, employees (from an ordinary manager to a top) desperately resist innovations, and more time is spent on the transition to flexible project management than we would like. The modern economic reality is changing rapidly, and customer expectations are changing no less quickly. The speed of change encourages companies to invest heavily in digital and agile transformations that allow them to scale and bring the benefits of agile teams to the level of the entire enterprise. However, few people achieve the desired results. To fully implement digital or agile transformation, commercial and technology teams must achieve and maintain consistency. Full company-wide consistency is the most important condition for competitiveness in the modern economy. The difficulty of combining agile teams into an agile company lies in the emerging gap between the teams that perform the work and the teams that distribute the funding. To bridge this gap, managers need the opportunity to: - increase visibility – visually present the work in backlogs (for plans) and demonstrations (for new solutions); - understand the workflow – analyze step-by-step results in order to assess progress in achieving the final results; - optimize investments – change the strategy or persistently follow the plan, redistributing funds to maximize the acceleration of value delivery. In an effort to achieve and maintain consistency, companies often find that traditional methods of portfolio management are ineffective. Instead, many implement Lean Portfolio Management methods to ensure consistency throughout the organization. The Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) methodology describes the principles of lean management that top management applies to align strategy with execution. Portfolio management teams study the company's strategies and allocate budget funds for the implementation of this strategy.
