In SAFe, we describe Enterprise Portfolio Management as a group of people and a set of practices that ensures alignment between a related set of portfolios and the overall enterprise vision and strategy. An effective EPM team enables the highest priority work to have a clear path from strategy and investment planning to execution. This decentralized decision-making enables portfolios to respond to quickly changing customer needs and market environments. Saahil Panikar’s community contribution shares his experiences on how best to align EPM physically and with the data needed to make decisions together.
Today we release insights and experiences from Saahil in his new contribution titled Enabling Strategic Alignment with an Enterprise Strategy Room. He shares the transformative power of the Enterprise Strategy Room (ESR) for organizations with multiple SAFe Portfolios. In an era where speed and agility in executing a connected strategy are mandatory, the ESR helps organizations face the challenge of aligning their numerous portfolios to a unified strategy rapidly.
Saahil delves into the concept of the Enterprise Strategy Room and includes his real experiences with organizations that have been successful with it. He makes clear the benefits: optimized resource allocation and enhanced communication across portfolios, all contributing to sustainable growth and improved execution. We appreciate his thoughtful contribution and look forward to hearing from more of you as you try out this technique!
Stay ahead of the curve by integrating an Enterprise Strategy Room into your organization, guided by this SAFe community contribution!
