In simplest terms, a project is accomplished by completing a set of tasks within a specified period of time. A product, on the other hand, is delivered as customers receive specific, quantifiable and ongoing business value from the initiative.

Most organizations feature pockets of project activity with no standard work methodology. KeyedIn closes that visibility gap by allowing customers to bring all projects, regardless of methodology, into a single portfolio, allowing timely and effective decision-making.

The faster, iterative planning cycles of Agile Portfolio Management allow you to identify process inefficiencies more quickly to remove bottlenecks and become more responsive to stakeholder feedback.

Without effective capacity planning, "organizations tend to overestimate the amount of capacity" they have, which extends the timeline of projects (Gartner). KeyedIn provides a simple, comprehensive view of resource capacity vs. demand.

The flexible, adaptive timelines and dynamic prioritization made possible by Agile Portfolio Management allow the most valuable projects or products to be delivered more quickly than ever before.

In the past, delivering a project on time was a measure of success unto itself. Today, strategic projects/products must be couched in the value they deliver to the business. KeyedIn goes beyond tracking end dates to measure value realization.

Annual, or even quarterly, planning processes cannot easily account for the swift changes in strategy most companies encounter today. Agile Portfolio Management allows a backlog of key initiatives to be reprioritized as needed.

The PMO’s internal business partners are more than just colleagues, they’re customers; and the faster planning cycles of Agile Portfolio Management allow you to more effectively address their changing needs to deliver ongoing value.

Particularly with digital transformation initiatives, PMOs are being asked to move ahead despite very ambiguous goals and requirements. Agile Portfolio Management gives you the flexibility to innovate even when the path is unclear.
