Model Strategy In Jira Align

Your organization has invested in SAFe and Lean Portfolio Management, so you have a solid, well-researched what and why. Now the real work begins: connecting your Strategic Themes and Portfolio Vision to execution. 

As Epic Owners, you're tasked with the details of how to make strategy a reality. Or worse, communicating to leadership that the strategy is not possible with the current environment, capabilities, and Development Value Streams.

In this three-hour workshop, learn the key elements of an implementable strategy: one that can be carried out at scale and is tied to financial goals. Then, explore ways to model strategy in Jira Align.

Prologis has Jira Align but it's not set up properly, not utilized correctly, and we realized we probably use 20-30% of its capabilities. The workshop was super insightful, this was not just a training — it was truly a hands-on workshop.

Jira Align allows you to model strategy and tie it directly to your teams, but it's not a plug-and-play tool. That’s why we offer an introductory workshop to help you visualize how Jira Align can work for your organization.
