This session will provide an overview of this comprehensive measurement model and explore how it can be applied across Teams, ARTs, and Portfolios.

In this session you will learn how to:
* Define Outcome, Flow, and Competency metrics for measuring teams, ARTs, Solution Trains, and entire SAFe Portfolios

S&P Global: Implementing LPM—5 Things to Know Before you Start

Navigating the resistance, culture issues, and product strategy transparency challenges when adopting Lean Portfolio Management

Does your organization have trouble prioritizing? Does your organization understand how much investment they are making into certain product and technology areas? Are your C-levels aligned around the current year goals? Do they have common incentives? Do you have the right tooling to support this process?

All these questions were asked at the beginning of our Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) transition at a division within S&P Global and not all the answers were clear.

After training our C-levels in a Leading SAFe® class, the consensus was that we needed to implement LPM NOW!

In this story, we share the resistance, culture issues, and product strategy transparency challenges that we navigated when adopting LPM. We will also dive into the outcomes that made the implementation worth it. By the end of this talk, you will leave with five things that might help you with an easier LPM implementation journey.
