Agile Portfolio Management: Budgeting and Financial Control

-

Webinar On-demand
Language: English

Introduction

Agile and finance: can they work hand in hand? Financial control and Agile seem to be at odds with each other. Yet, any way of working needs to be financially secure. So how can we bring Agile and finance together? Fortunately, it's not that difficult. In this webinar, live from Xebia's studio, we'll dive into how you can merge the two and even show you some benefits of Agile budgeting.

Key takeaways:

  • By disconnecting budget from scope, you can keep costs in check while maximizing value delivery.
  • Agile reporting is less about costs and budget because they are more or less fixed upfront. Fixed is a good thing since it means the reporting can focus on what matters most: the actual results.
  • Shift focus from seemingly straightforward, predetermined plans with a fixed scope to a controlled process that monitors scope regularly and adjusts with the latest insights.
