Towards a Leaner Portfolio: Simplified Epic WSJF and One-Page Business Cases

Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) promises to make a dramatic change to the way you make your business and investment decisions but, in many cases, it just seems to mean playing a new game of buzzword bingo whilst dressing up the old practices in some shiny new clothes.

The key to becoming truly lean is to master the production of Minimal Viable Products, the creation of Lean Business Cases, and the use of Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) for Epic prioritization.

In this presentation, SAFe Fellow Ian Spence will share his favorite strategies for achieving truly lean portfolio management including:

How to simplify WSJF for Epics using Investment Horizons
How to capture a Lean Business Case on a single page
How to establish the credibility of your Lean Business Case using ‘Qualifying’ MVPs
How to simplify option selection using local WSJF

In this session, you will learn:
How to exploit investment horizons to simplify Epic WSJF
How to capture your lean business case in a single page
How to speed up the analysis of options using a localised WSJF and qualifying MVPs
