Lean-Agile Product and Solution Management is responsible for defining and supporting the building of desirable, feasible, viable and sustainable solutions
Join 321 Gang's "Coffee Chat" where we'll do less talking... and more listening! =)
This month's topic:
"Jira Align Support for Lean-Agile Product & Solution Management"
We'll start out with a few slides and a demo to provide a brief overview of the topic and then we'll open the floor up to answering your questions as well as encourage dialog around all things Jira Align.
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

The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®) provides a comprehensive approach to developing cyber-physical (hardware-inclusive) solutions- often a complex set of integrated systems. When these large scale solutions include hardware, software and firmware, and also must meet regulatory compliance standards, applying lean-agile principles and practices become even more challenging.
In this webinar, we'll provide an introduction to how product and solution management roles can use SAFe, Jira Align and more traditional engineering tools (we will use IBM's Engineering Lifecycle Management as an example) to define and support the building of large scale, cyber-physical systems.

Anyone who has ever studied the Scaled Agile Framework’s (SAFe) ‘Big Picture’ realizes that there are many moving parts that must work together for organizations to realize significant business benefit. Without tool support for these myriad moving parts, continued success and growth for your lean-agile environment is that much more difficult. Atlassian’s Jira Align provides the support necessary for implementing agile at scale practices and processes- from portfolio strategy to work ‘on the ground.’
In this session we’ll focus specifically on how Jira Align supports two critical activities integral to a successful implementation of SAFe (or any agile at scale methodology):
1. Preparing for Big Room/PI Planning
2. Executing successful (in person or remote!) Big Room/PI Planning
Many organizations are looking to apply Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) techniques as their organizations adopt the Scaled Agile Framework or SAFe (or other enterprise agile methodology). The LPM approach shifts leadership focus away from outputs and towards measurement based on value-based outcomes. This is achieved by aligning portfolio/business strategy with product development through the application of systems thinking, as well as lean approaches to funding, portfolio operations and governance.

Duane Bushman is an SPC Trainer (SPCT) and Lean Agile Coach at Rockwell Automation. He'll take you through the trials and triumphs of helping an important portfolio team, responsible for one of this industrial automation's largest business units, adopt a more lean/agile mindset in how it reviews, approves, initiates and tracks strategic initiatives. Fundamentally a change in culture, the concurrent adoption of Atlassian's Jira Align (which was already being used at the ART/program level) helped this executive team visualize the changes they were making and track their prioritized portfolio epics across teams and through time, ultimately helping them make value-based decisions in near-real time about whether to persevere, pivot or punt on any given initiative.
Business Agility strives to quickly respond to changing markets and emerging opportunities with creative and high quality business solutions. For an organization to succeed in this endeavor, its leadership needs the ability to measure results and efficiency in delivery and progress in lean agile practices across all levels of the organization -- enterprise, portfolios, large solutions, programs, and teams.
In this webinar we will review the practices in SAFe® for measuring outcomes, flow and competency and
demonstrate how Jira Align provides the support for tracking and viewing these metrics.
Essential SAFe revolves around delivering value by implementing Features within Program Increments (PIs). The 3 major activities relative to a PI surround a PI Planning event: Preparing for PI Planning, PI Planning event itself, and managing the execution of the PI. Without tool support, performing these activities can be a daunting task. Jira Align is the premier tool for supporting all levels of SAFe and provides support for all 3 of these activities. To that end we are making available to you 3 webinars that will demonstrate how Jira Align facilitates Pre-PI Planning, PI Planning, and PI Execution.
Session 1 – During the first session we will demonstrate how Jira Align supports the PI Planning event itself:
• Breaking down Features into Stories
• Allocating Stories to Iterations
• Identifying and negotiating Dependencies
• Identifying Team and Program Objectives
• Identifying Program Risks.
