Scaled Agile DFW Meetup | Jira Align | How to Link Strategy to Execution

Within a lean/agile at scale environment, Jira Align’s primary value proposition is its ability to connect enterprise strategy with product delivery execution ‘on the ground.’ Lean-Agile leadership maintains the overall strategic themes and portfolio vision within Jira Align where solution and product managers can then leverage these to help align the development of current, short-term and longer-term deliverables in robust, live visual product roadmaps. Live roadmaps also provide a dynamic, real-time view of the health and progress of work against strategic themes across ARTs/value streams.

Samit will spend 15-20 minutes on the front end providing an overview of the topic space while the remainder of our time will be an open discussion format.
