WHY
A growing start-up with multiple product lines adopted a lean-agile approach but soon faced challenges managing numerous concurrent projects and competing priorities. Inconsistent project inflow and limited visibility created bottlenecks, making it difficult to prioritise initiatives effectively. The lack of holistic oversight hindered strategic decision-making and resource allocation. Implementing a streamlined project management system improved visibility, focus, and alignment with business goals. This enabled better prioritisation and long-term success.
HOW
We began by thoroughly understanding the business and its start-up strategy, reviewing project types and delivery priorities. Each project’s cost-benefit analysis was evaluated to ensure a strong business case. We then mapped and grouped projects by priority and theme to clarify the overall portfolio landscape.
WHAT
After mapping the portfolio, we implemented Jira with SAFe® components to manage and scale the portfolio based on project volume. Jira enabled structured governance and sprint planning, ensuring flexibility and control. This approach allowed the bootstrapped start-up to focus on its core strategy and stay on track for launch.
