Value-Driven Analysis: Portfolio Management as a Compass for Business Analysts
When you search for “Business Analysis Processes,” you will find endless resources on requirements engineering, process modeling, and backlog grooming. Most of the articles you see focus on how to “do things right” within a single project. At the same time, you will rarely find guidance on how to ensure your organization is actually “doing the right things” across the entire portfolio.
Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) is often seen as a high-level management discipline, not something a Business Analyst should deeply involve themselves in. I massively disagree with such positioning. In a dynamic and agile world, Value-Driven Analysis is the essential compass that prevents companies from wasting resources on the wrong initiatives.
In this session, we will learn the following:
a) how Lean & Agile portfolio processes provide the necessary framework to navigate uncertainty;
b) how shifting your focus from “output” to “value” will elevate your role from a requirement gatherer to a strategic advisor.
