QuestionQ21

Lean Portfolio Management

An Epic in the Analyzing step of the Portfolio Kanban system has completed its Lean business case. What best describes the Epic’s next step?

  • A It will be implemented if it has the highest weighted shortest job first (WSJF) ranking
  • B It will be moved to the ready state in the Portfolio Kanban if it receives a 'go' decision from Lean Portfolio Management
  • C It will be implemented once the Epic Owner approves the Lean business case
  • D It will remain in the analyzing step until one or more Agile Release Trains have the capacity to implement it
Explanation

Lean Portfolio Management makes a Go/No-go decision using the Lean business case. A Go decision allows the Epic to advance from Analyzing to the Ready state, where it can be periodically reviewed and prioritized for implementation. WSJF informs prioritization but is not, by itself, the approval decision.
