In The Brain of Kevin Ryan: Kanban For Agile Portfolio Management
Kanban For Agile Portfolio Management
This presentation focuses on how Kanban can be applied in the areas of portfolio and programme management. Kevin shares his experiences and demonstrates how the principles of a Kanban system can be applied beyond the team level and can be adapted to support agile delivery at scale.

Throughout the presentation Kevin describes how to establish a portfolio that contains programmes of work to provide an alternative leadership framework to that of project management. He then demonstrates how these programmes of work can be structured to deliver prioritised initiatives using actionable metrics as success criteria rather than predictive date driven milestones.

The recurring theme throughout this presentation is to communicate how the principles of pull, visualisation, defined workflow and work in progress limits support organisational agility at all levels from team to portfolio. All of the content of the presentation is supported with case studies and real world examples to demonstrate these principles in practice.
