The Center of Excellence: A key factor in LPM success

Enterprises are increasingly implementing Lean Portfolio Management to accelerate growth and business agility. Join this webinar to hear what factors our experts say lead to a successful Lean Portfolio Management implementation, including creating a Lean-Agile Center of Excellence.

Lean Portfolio Management is where strategy and execution converge. Jira Align plays a key role in that transformation, powered by integrated planning teams and strategic portfolio alignment.

In this webinar, presenters from Atlassian and Scaled Agile, Inc. share their current best thinking and first-hand knowledge gained from guiding LPM implementations at various stages of planning and execution.

Our presenters will cover:

  • Emerging patterns of LPM in practice
  • Forming a guiding coalition and the impact of a Lean-Agile Center of Excellence (LACE)
  • The roles of leaders, change agents and team members
  • Balancing near-term opportunities with long-term strategy and growth
  • Using Jira Align to gain broad visibility and connect strategy to work

Mark Cruth

Modern Work Coach, Atlassian

Mark werkt samen met organisaties van over de hele wereld om werkzaamheden met behulp van Atlassian-producten af te stemmen op de doelen die worden nagestreefd. Mark is een uitgesproken voorstander van Agile sinds 2009 en heeft het zijn missie gemaakt om de waardes en principes van Agile toe te passen op alles wat hij doet. Zijn diepgaande kennis van Agile productontwikkeling en teamdynamiek is voortgekomen uit zijn ervaring in het ondersteunen van transformatie en waardelevering.

Wanneer hij niet diep in gesprek is met een managementteam of met zijn neus in het nieuwste boek over zelfmanagement zit, vind je Mark in een hoekje met een van zijn favoriete sci-fi-boeken (met name alles van Brandon Sanderson) of tussen de Lego met zijn kinderen.
