e e hi everyone thank you for joining us today um you are here I hope for the Strategic portfolio management with the last scine webinar um this will also include some things around managing pmos it pmos uh project portfolio management basically the high level strategy management within the atlassian ecosystem uh my name is Brian Dar I am the valian head of enablement I'm also a safe we changed the name now recently I'm an SBC um I'm a certified atlassian expert I'm joined by Vana Yos uh who is also one of our esteemed Consultants who does a lot of really great engagements with a lot of really big Enterprise clients um particularly implementing the products that we're about to show you today uh and she is also an alassian Guru as well so for the next hour or so uh we're going to talk about why are we doing this uh we're going to talk about the how of implementing and uh running your uh strategic portfolio management practice we're going to do a tool Deep dive uh we're going to talk about additional tools that're sort of outside the ecosystem but may be helpful that you can connect into the Alaskan ecosystem and we're going to have time for questions and answers if anybody has any so let's just Dive Right In uh why why are we doing any of this I mean other than collecting a paycheck um the big thing is that we want to align our work to Enterprise strategy we want to make sure that we're doing the right thing for the business um in order to do that we need to know how much can we do so in order to know how how much we can do this year which is part of prioritization we have to understand our capacity to do work and how much work we are demanding of the people doing the work so visualizing Demand versus capacity is obviously really important for that clear dependency management um whenever you're doing large complex processes and you have multiple dependent teams and all of that stuff um dependency management becomes extremely important so making sure that we're not waiting around because infrastructure didn't know that we needed 20 new servers um and they're backed up we want to get predictable and prioritized so we want to work on what's important to the business in the order that it's important to the business and we want to be able to report to our business partners um we see that next one stakeholder and team visibility we want to be predictable um we want to know that we're going to get something done in Q2 we um even better uh if we can say we're getting get it done in May showing that information to stakeholders is very important uh stakeholders rightfully so want to know when things will will be delivered your marketing team needs to know so they could start a marketing campaign your internal uh business partners want to know so they can sequence their work it's all pretty important stuff fewer fire drills uh you know see the afer mentioned uh dependency management nobody likes a fire drill or unexpected scope creep uh just makes it kind of a miserable place to work and finally um risk mitigation so if we see our dependencies if we have everything lined up appropriately we will ultimately reduce risk fun stuff I nerd out on this stuff I know vanta does too I hope you do as well all right so if you're going to Implement any kind of PPM solution or even intake in prioritization Solutions um I think it's really important to note that you really should follow this process people then process then tools um often processing tools comes together but I think that in terms of prioritization you want to think about it in this method and this is how we Implement for for our clients as well um often it's not just a tool that's needed although people think that a tool will solve their problem it's really a new process tools will only reinforce a process good or bad they can drive you into the ditch with lightning speed if you are headed that way uh and of course people uh if you have the wrong people you're not going to be able to do anything anyway um if you have people that aren't aligned with company priorities or that um don't don't work well with others a good process is not going to fix that that either next um assuming your processes are already optimized I assume they are too uh let's talk about tools which is the whole point of this webinar uh if you're working on implementing with us for example one thing we emphasize is minimal changes to teams I think this is really important I think that people don't want their cheese moved and if they do have their cheese moved to quote a famous book um you're want to tell them why and give them lots of preparation for that and part of part of managing a whole portfolio is that you do have these individual teams that are contributing and they have their own special way of working they have their own Norms they have their own uh processes infrastructure probably works different than software development probably works better than I can't think of another example there but um so each of your teams needs to work in their own unique way uh while while we are very Pro standard ation for both training and cross team synergistic purposes uh it's really important to allow your teams to do what they do best with the processes that work well for them so in general you can you can assume that standardization in these tools really needs to happen starting at the program level or at the at the team of teams level basically not at the task level but one level up um in jira that would be the jira Epic layer in safe that would be the feat feat layer but you really only need to start standardizing there you can you can have the teams have their own workflows because everything ultimately rolls up to Broad categories of to-do in progress or done and from a management standpoint that's all that really matters uh you can tag your epics at that layer with customers products Etc to provide a road map um and then those can tie to higher level initiatives allowing to connect to your company strategy um you can also start with a smaller group in the portfolio so it is kind of scary to change everyone and there's a lot to be learned about rolling it out with one team or one program so we often recommend finding that Shining Light On The Hill the team that really wants to try best practices get them going get their processes going and everyone that sees them will be amazed at how relaxed they look and how accomplished they are in their work and they're going to want to join that party as well um you Al have to organize at the leadership level you you can do a lot from the bottom up um but ground swells only get you so far and ultimately you have to have leadership buy in for a better way of working um otherwise you're going to you're going to expend too much uh social capital and the project will not be successful I've seen this a lot of times unfortunately with clients um each of the tools that we talk about today can be started with just a few teams or or even just one team uh and this will help you solve uh emergent challenges um yeah all right so let's talk about the Strategic lifestyle we are going to get into live tools uh in a minute so when you're looking at managing your portfolio it really I at least I think goes through these five steps intake prioritization planning execution and if you're really good retrospection let's find out how we did um intake is gathering ideas prioritization is lining up those ideas uh to match the the priorities of the business so if you have two great ideas which one's more important planning is where we take those prioritized ideas and we start to break them down into work items so we can find out how big they are so we can visualize that Demand versus capacity what will fit where what's our cutline for what we can get done this quarter or this year execution is traditionally the realm of jira where the teams are tracking their work they're managing their dependencies they're uh scheduling and planning their Sprints grooming uh refining their backlogs Etc and then retrospection is just a really good practice let's see how we did uh in All Phases and let's work towards that continuous Improvement so first I want to talk about items one and two intake and prioritization and then we'll cover planning execution retros inpection afterwards uh within the atlassian ecosystem by far the best intake and prioritization tool is also one of the newest ones and that is jop product Discovery if you haven't heard about it get excited this is a really cool tool um specifically you can use it to do intake prioritizing you can show um formulas for for prioritization you can show um you know two different statistic matrices to see what falls in the upper right quadrant that we're going to work on first you can uh and and you can generate new ideas right in the Tool uh you can also use Jos service management or project forms as a front end so if you're used to sending people in your company to your internal service portal you can use JSM for that internal intake you know have an idea click here um but ultimately you want all of those ideas to land in jur product Discovery because that's the best way that you can prioritize and ultimately link to delivery um the one of the reasons gero product Discovery I'll say jpd from now on is so good is that it is incredibly flexible because the way that you prioritize as a company will evolve over time unless you are a very old company um and even then you're going to want to change based on the markets so this allows you to on the Fly create new views new prioritization um formulas and that will keep you up to date with the market so let's dive in and see what does that actually look like so here we are live in a tool this is jira product Discovery if you're used to jira jira product product Discovery is a project type and in the new world of jir cloud this is only available in in Cloud um you basically only have three project types now what was jira software and jir Work Management are being merged into just jira you still have jira service management as its own project type and then you have jir product Discovery so what we're looking at here is a discovery project as you can see let me just blow this up just a little bit help people with small monitors and I'm looking at one of many customizable views so this view I have all of the ideas that we have brought into the company and I've got different qualifications different um you know categorizations of those views does it tie to a certain goal uh do we have specs ready what is our impact score based on a number of priorities including let's say estimated effort and estimated impact I could add other fields like how many people have voted for it I can see a status and I can add a number of custom Fields here including formulas uh which is pretty cool um but that's just one View and that's just my you know show me show me everything view if I want to do an impact assessment I could pull in a couple of different fields here or if I wanted to look at Impact versus effort I can show that here and so maybe I find the highest imp act with the lowest effort so maybe we're going to work on this feature instead and these are all just Juro work items hiding in the background they're just ideas um but it's really easy to make a new view you can just click here create a new section create a new list create a new board new Matrix or timeline and these are the broad functional views here um we're we'll we'll come back to boards and timelines in a minute but you can imagine that you can get all your IDE in one place at least all of your project ideas and then prioritize them and then mark them as ready to plan you can do that too through through through a jir status or through internal methods within jpd that'll that'll show in a minute when we switch over to planning um so this is a pretty incredible tool and you're going to change how you prioritize as your company changes and this piece of the tool is incredibly flexible for it so so now oh also one more thing um if we just click into any idea it looks just like a jira issue in a slightly different sidebar so we have the overview with all of our Fields uh we have extra Fields down here we can have comments around these one other neat thing is that uh you can attach insights to an idea so there's really just two object types in in this project an idea and an end and an insight and the Insight allows you to say hey I I saw this on the news or I I heard um you know customer a talking about this or internal stakeholder B once us to do this so you can attach all of this information and there's even quick capture Insight tools that you can attach to Chrome Etc um a bit of a preview for later you can attach an idea to a delivery ticket and we will see that a bit down the road so we can connect our intake and prioritized ideas into our planning and execution very cleanly right here in the tool all right so so that's intake and prioritization a very high level uh you could prioritize in jira in fact before jira product discovery that was the best way to prioritize you would use the rank field and a lot of other fields and you would look at everything on a board or a backlog and you would prioritize but this is a whole new level um one other thing to talk about is this is really for project work prioritization or I would say change the business prioritization you're still going to have your operational teams over in their jir projects prioritizing operational work that really should be prioritized in an entirely different bucket it's really hard to in fact I would argue it's impossible to take all of the operational priorities and all of the project change the business priorities and cross prioritize them your safest bet is going to be to to control that mechanism really by um flagging work as either um project or operational and then making sure that you're working at a certain percentage across those let's say you know 60% operational 40% Project work that's a lot to talk about let's talk about planning and execution um I'm going to dive right back into jira product Discovery because it because jira and J product Discovery Bridge together to hit planning and execution and then we're going to talk about three great tools that are part of the ecosystem that really help you with um breaking work down and uh visualizing cross Project work and that's going to be Advanced road maps structure and structure Gant and big picture and big picture Enterprise the last two are uh paid add-ons Advanced road maps is um it just comes free with jira so let's dive back into G product Discovery and talk about planning so once once we decide hey we're going to work on this one because either our our planning formula surfaced it to the top or or we saw it on a matrix and we're like yes this one right here well we can come and adjust either a custom field or a status and then view it in this what atlassian would call an honest road map view uh so basically we're looking at the horizons of now next and later so if something falls into later or next now we need to start breaking it down into work items so we can really get a good estimate of how how big that item is how much demand and the teams can start understanding it so they can start getting it into their backlogs so let's say so let's say we move something into next and now we're going to work on it fantastic well we're going to click into here and then come to the delivery ticket and maybe we make an epic or an initiative and we put that into the program backlog and then we ask the teams hey can you start breaking this work down and start estimating this epic so that we understand how big it is so that we can prioritize it appropriately so we've now bridged planning and execution and you can I I wonder if I have a good piece of data here uh maybe this one here yeah so you can even see delivery progress bars rolling in and you can connect multiple delivery tickets to it this should blow your mind I this is incredible we now have intake prioritization and planning execution wrapping together once you know that you're working on it next or you're working on it now you can also solve the next problem of what am I stake holders know about this project work stakeholders rarely care about operational work we're going to we're going to upgrade the servers we're going to work on our Tech de we're going to do all that they care about the change the business Project work mostly so now you can come to this plan which looks like a traditional road map and here we have the same ideas that we've been looking at the whole time through that that have gone through intake and prioritization and Horizon road maps and now we're on this road map and this is flexible you can do fuzzy dates so that we're not asking our stakeholders to go look into jira and try to figure out based on the percent of completed known work items when it's going to get done we can project to them here how we're doing so if we click into this we can see again the same idea the same information um and if we like this road map we can publish it and you have options to publish this well I don't right now because because of um permissioning but you can publish this to anyone on the internet with a link you can publish it to everyone in your company or just project managers so now you're actually removing the need for a jro license to show your stakeholders how you're doing but you can also just grab these and you can um you can just share the views you can grab a screenshot I think they're also adding um uh picture downloads here yeah there we go uh export there it is yeah you can you can download it as a JPEG or you can download it as a CSV drop it in your PowerPoint and now you're only one step away from the live information about what we're projecting to our stakeholders if you're used to seeing all this in jira plans formerly Advanced road maps this is a real Paradigm Shift we are we are showing our road maps now in the intake and Discovery tool and we're keeping it Loosely connected to delivery because delivery sequencing that's going to have its own dependency challenges and we don't necessarily want our stakeholders diving into that and asking about individual stories and tasks as we go but I hope this is getting you excited I think this is one of the coolest things that alassian ever made so now that now that we have moved something into now we are we are actively working on it we have we have broken it down we are now asking our teams to make sure that it's in all of their Sprints now we pivot pretty much completely over to jira and we just leave the idea owner back here in jpd to update that road map as things develop so now we're switching over into advanced road maps structure and structure Gant and big picture and big picture Enterprise to talk about managing the ex um managing the execution so far so good all right so when we're managing these work now Advanced road map structure structure again big picture let's talk first about Advanced road maps uh this is a cross project Road mapping and visualization tool in jira Oh I thought I had a feature comparison there but that's fine um and I should say it's not Advanced road maps anymore it's called plans this is used to coordinate execution across your teams so each of your teams is probably working in their own jira project and now we need to coordinate that work cross project wise so what we'll see here first is I'm I'm going to go to a view called initiative planning so we're starting here and we can see our initiatives that break down into epics that break down into stories and we can collapse these and expand them and we can um expand the fields over here and we can bring in whatever fields we want to see in order to do our team planning um so like a swag field a product flag we could you know flag it as MVP you can have progress bars in here but this is really managing the execution and the future Sprint planning of something that we are now committed to uh you can view it only in a list here or you can click on timeline and I've got a little too many fields in this timeline but if we collapse it you can see I've got time bars associated with each of my work items over here uh and there's kind of a lot going on here so let me just explain it really quick uh a solid bar means that we have solid dates September 19th 2023 to September 16th 2024 a striped bar means that it is inheriting the dates from its children um the the children are rolling up so as I move this you can see the parent move in and out so that's what the stripes mean and then the fading means that we have set a hard date on one side but we have not set a hard date on the other side you can also see these nice dependency details that are that are tracing through um those will turn red if things are out of sequence you can see today's date you can see um releases flagged as major Milestones on the timeline and you can you know change the timeline for whatever you want uh you can also depending on what you want to see you can change views so this one is initiative planning starts an initiative goes down to story but I could make a different view called epic planning this one starts at Epic goes down to story and instead of showing initiative above it has a parent initiative field here a different set of fields all the same data hiding underneath this is all being pulled up from jira but I get to choose what view I need to plan with and if you have very detail oriented internal stakeholders who really do need to see the execution progress granularly you could save one of these views specifically for those kinds of stakeholders and you can then share these views you can um you can export them as a CSV file or as an image again to drop into let's say a PowerPoint uh you can also grab a link and drop it over in Confluence to show a live road map in Confluence uh or you can send A readon View to somebody as well they will need a Juro license though to see this so unlike Juro product discovery which is that highlevel slightly abstracted um um subjective roadmap view uh this one requires a jural license to see anything in it uh this will also respect all of the permissions in the underlying projects so if I if I saw this plan but I didn't have permission to see these issues I wouldn't see them on the plan um you can also do some other interesting view settings here you can you can color items by by different things you you can you can group items in swim Lanes by different Criterion you can change the way dependencies work you can change what you roll up you can change the Sorting order you can come over here and you can filter on specific issues or specific assignes or projects or even platform goals if you're tying work to goals show me everything that's intended to increase Revenue in q1 uh and you can also tie them back to those uh jir product Discovery ideas right here so if you haven't seen this tool hopefully you're getting really excited about this too uh this is free with jurac Cloud premium and jir Cloud Enterprise uh you can't get it if you're on jurac cloud standard or jurac Cloud free there's a couple other helpful things in here too besides all of these saved views and sharing those views one is that I can make live edits here in the tool and as I make those edits you'll see these little green flags popping up here uh if I highlight over one it should tell me yeah there we go um basically it says this change only applies to the plan it is not yet in jira so I can do all of my execution planning here and when I'm ready to push it back to the teams I can click up here unsaved changes and I can choose which changes to push back to jira I can choose by when or who or specific items that I've selected and I can then push those changes to jira jir will update people may or may not get notified depending on my settings and then we can move forward this also allows for scenario planning so I can do a best case and worst case scenario uh you worst case let's say everyone goes on holiday for for a month we can see how that would impact our delivery and then the person over in jpd can be watching those execution tickets and see how they're doing and update their road map uh appropriately there's also a calendar view here in plans so you can view all of your work based on either uh months or weeks and you can filter by projects or whatever issue types you want to show you can change your view settings here and there's also a program board this is for uh scheduling Team level work across teams so let me see so I've got I've got some I've got some Sprints here vertically in columns and I can schedule each teams work across those Sprints and then I can add those although I don't see them here ah I don't have enough work in here to to show this but as I as I as I add this work to different teams and to um to different Sprints I can also create dependencies across them and I can see those you know spaghetti line red dependencies if we don't have them scheduled appropriately now this view is really compacted because I have blown it up to make it easier to see for you but you would do your planning on a large monitor I guess uh is what I would say to that so you can show all your work you can planet and Sprints you can also view dependencies as a dependency map so if we zoom out here I can see all of the sequenced dependencies for the particular scope of this plan and I can filter it I can group it and I can roll these dependencies up to different items as well so let's just see how how the epics depend on each other based on their children uh or I can leave it down at the at the child level this is a really really great Tool uh especially for planning execution and for showing internal highly informed stakeholders about the granular execution all right let's come back and let's look at the next tool um oh and just so you know uh some some choices why would you why would you use this tool well uh it's free and it creates a a really excellent visualization of work now some things that might stop you from using this Tool uh plans is not a Gant chart uh you you may think it is but it's not going to move dependent items when you move preceding items across the timeline it's just going to show you on a timeline based on jir dates it will not show you critical path although that dependency map is a close proxy for that it will not save baselines it doesn't have any sort of earliest start latest finish constraints uh and there's no cross plan resourcing view one thing that I I I forgot to show is you can show capacity here but capacity is based on Team level capacity let so let let me come to my capacity view hopefully the data is still okay oh it's not that's frustrating um let me come to the program view then and I'll show you here so you see these little bars here um as as I fill work we can see that we have a capacity of 30 story points for this team and as I fill it with work it'll fill up as a green bar and if I go too big it'll turn red telling me that I need to move some work out for that team so we can see capacity per team per Sprint but we're not going to see um uh capacity per individual just something to keep in mind all right so again deciding factors free native with jira not a Gant chart Great for road maps great for Team level resourcing great for sharing execution visualizations moving on to the next tool so the next one is a Gant chart and if you are used to traditional project management if you have more of a waterfall requirement um you know certainly plans leans more towards agile than waterfall but you can still do waterfall in plans but if you really need a Gant chart structure and structure Gant are the add-ons that you will want to add to your ecosystem so let's dive into the tool and look live at that we'll come here to structure so structure creates a Gant overlay on top of the data already existing in jira and you can see kind of a lot of info happening here um but I'll just sort of talk at a high level of this so just like we saw let hide that there we go so just like we saw over in plans we have the work breakdown structure over here uh initiatives breaking down into epics breaking down into stories let me find somewh and then over here we have our our Gant um oops didn't mean to open that so we can expand work items out we can see the underlying work items you can see progress bars in green leaning up towards them uh we can see here that we can save baselines across all of our issues which is helpful so we can see shift over time um and then we can see our resourcing functionality down here so unlike plans we can actually do individual level resourcing here so based on the asse we can see how much work they have assigned to them there's some other really nice Gant features in here as well as you add dependencies this is a finish to start dependency so unlike jira um unlike jir plans I should say which is really only based on the blocks is blocked by dependency although it's customizable uh structure has the classic ones finish to start start to start start to finish finish to finish so you've got the four standard Gant chart dependency types in here you can also add in lag and lead time as well are some other cool things oh um within structure there's this idea of slices actually no let me let me show you scheduling first one thing you can do in structure that I find very helpful is you can convert story points two hours uh I know that this will send agilists out into the streets with pitchforks and torches uh but if you are going to turn story points into an actionable plan over time somebody needs to see that in hours and days so you can set a baseline conversion and just use that for planning purposes like again none of this is written in stone until it's completed so we're just we're just guessing at the future here um with this default estimate and with this hours conversion we can set that but we can also do it per slice and a slice is a jql SC uh let me yeah it's a it's a jql scoped subset of the plan so you could say um for most teams one story Point equals one hour but for this particular team whenever something is assigned to them it's going to be one story Point equals five hours or so or or something like that so you can get really granular with your planning here um and again this is just laying on top of jira so much like the rest of these tools you're connecting delivery to your planning views directly um so you're not having to go to status update meetings and tell the project manager how things are going they can see it live in the tool right here and whether or not it is complete let's come back and talk about this tool and why you might or might not want it so first uh and that's not even on here um structure and structure Gant are two separate add-ons you have to buy them both um structure just gives you the left half structure Gant gives you the right half but you can't get the right half without the left half so you'll need to buy two apps um you can do granular scheduling Behavior which is helpful you can do team and individual resourcing oh and one thing I forgot to show you in the tool is when I click on an item um there oh sorry let me let me click on a um click on an expanded item down here at like a task level item so for scheduling we can do Autos scheduling or manual scheding scheduling that's where you get that Gant slide when you're when you're pushing things in and out and you can give it a um a custom um EST estimation you can hard set dates if you need to and you can even say how many resources or even what fraction of resources can work on this so maybe more than one person can work on this at a time again really good really granular planning here anyway back to this uh you can have multiple baselines you can track project shift over time you can do duration based on your estimation so over in plans the duration of the bar is independent of the estimate of work in structure you can you can Auto set the duration based on how much work you estimate that item to be um so maybe we have two people working on it halftime for a total of one FTE and it's one FTE is worth of work for a week so the bar extends to a week but if you remove somebody it'll extend to two weeks um structures themselves are quite useful just like plans you can do uh custom fields and I'm sorry custom formulas within a structure which is quite helpful there's no Skilling Skilling is where I would say that only a resource with a particular classification can work on a particularly classified item such as a developer doing the development portion of work or or a ba doing a ba portion or an architect doing an architect portion so there's no granular Skilling of individuals with structure and structure Gant uh resource leveling can only be done within the data center version so if you're doing um jira on Prem and the same with sandboxing so that's that is one thing that I that that I struggle with in here is that all the changes that I make these are live in the tool um so it's not it's not protected um like that was before at least in Cloud unless did they just release this oh they did oh that's wonderful you're seeing it here live they finally updated I'm gonna have to change my webinar um so some Fields you can copy the data here in the Gant it looks like um you can copy start to start date but other other changes over here if you're making them uh within this section within the scope section that's going to be live changes to jira so you're not storing them and waiting to push them out based on a planning session so it's not perfect but if you're in data center it really is totally sandboxed and you can stop and say push everything back to J uh and is great for sharing visualizations all right um the last tool well the last the last big one we're going to talk about today is big picture and big picture Enterprise this is a similar tool to structure works just a little bit differently uh but mostly big picture and big picture Enterprise is really a multi-tool uh it gives you uh the program boards that you saw in plans it gives you a risk module it gives you road maps it gives you planning modules uh and it allows you to do what I would consider more hybrid planning most importantly big picture gives you individual skills so if you really need to get that granular in your planning you can do that with big picture all right so basically um big picture you structure it in a box a box is a defined scope and you can relate boxes to each other so you you could have a portfolio box that has program boxes within it and the program boxes have program increments within them and the program increment boxes have bi-weekly iterations or you can do projects or phases or initiatives uh or you can do a mix of all of them to do hybrid planning between waterfall and agile let's see what that looks like in the tool it'll make a lot more sense once we're in there again this is all still based off of the underlying data living in jira projects so we're still always connecting our portfolio planning back to the work that is broken out for the teams to do so here what we have is um we've got a hybrid portfolio structure where we have a program that is broken down into those program increments it's broken down into iterations but or we could do a traditional project in the same portfolio where we where we have a project broken down into project stages so whichever one makes you comfortable I'm going to hop into a demo portfolio here and you're pretty much going to see the same thing you saw over in structure over here on the left side we have all of our work that expands down and breaks out over here on the right we see our Gant style View and all the information in here and we can update the start dates and the end dates and we can set scheduling modes um are we going to schedule the epics based on the stories are we going to story uh or are we going to schedule the stories based on the Epic time we can do our individual oops individual resourcing down here where we can show the amount of work that is unassigned and then the amount of work that we have assigned to an individual um some other cool features of big picture it it has the same linking style Gant style linking of structure but you can also visualize regular jira links in there too so we can show the strong you know start to start start to end but we can also show the soft ones that are blocks as blocked by so this is more of um of a hybrid planning linking approach which I appreciate uh it it allows you to see what the team members are saying are blockers and then you can also overlay a really strict Gant style scheduling on top of that a very similar tool uh so why would you want to get big picture and big picture Enterprise instead uh well big picture Enterprises multiple Tools in one although that being said the program board and the calendars are now natively available in jira so that's less of a selling point now you can do cross plan resourcing though which is something that you cannot do within structure big picture really is about resource planning I think um that is its strongest selling point right now because you can also do those individual skills you can flag a work item in jira and say that only somebody qualified to do this this kind of work item can be scheduled in big picture um you can do resource contouring to make the resourcing smooth out over the course of the work um you're a little Limited in the configuration and you do have to have an additional third Adon to do any uh decent visualization exports but if you really need that granular Skilling that's what you're going to want that's a lot of tools um the last one that I want to talk about is really atlassian Flagship strategic portfolio management tool which is called jira align jir align takes everything you've seen already and shoves it into one tool and puts that very large tool right above jira through a Conor it is for planning program level work all the way up to the Enterprise strategy this is a great tool if you are following the scaled agile framework we have a whole webinar on it so I'm not going to go too deeply into it right now but um it'll give you things like program boards that we saw before in jira uh it'll give you road maps it'll uh you can do okr St uh planning which is also rolling into jir um so a lot of this is coming into the platform natively but it provides structure for really large Enterprises that is harder to create natively within jir I would say if you're a small or mediumsized Enterprise you most likely don't need jro align but if you're a if you're a large Enterprise yeah um it's a great tool I'm not going to dive into it into this webinar so much but I I thought I had yeah there we go um but we have a webinar coming up um I believe that link is getting put yeah right there yeah so thank you so much um so we have other trainings coming up including a
