Improvements

The filters for the business question How are we executing our strategy? have been enhanced to make it easier to focus on the data most relevant to you. These improvements provide more precise filtering and better visibility into how strategic ownership aligns with execution:

• A Strategy Node filter has been modified so that the user can select the vision, goal, objective, or strategic theme that matters to you. All strategic themes associated with the selected node in the strategy network are displayed in the report.
• The Business Owner filter has been updated so the report shows operational or developmental value streams, solutions, ARTs, or epics owned by the selected organization.
• The Business Owner role has been added to the Responsibilities section in the epic content area.

This business question is available with the license Lean Portfolio Management. The use case Agile Transformation must be activated.

Changes to the visualization of the strategy network provide greater transparency into progress, ownership, and organizational alignment across the strategy network. The Strategy Network views available on the root node of the Strategy Network explorer as well as in the content areas for visions, goals, objectives, and strategic themes have been enhanced with additional indicators and filtering options.

• A new % Completed indicator is displayed on each vision, objective, goal, and strategic theme in the strategy network. The completion is calculated based on the Actual Performance indicator specified for each strategic theme subordinate to the relevant node.
• A new Show Projects report filter can be switched on to add the programs and projects associated with the strategic themes to the strategy network. The % Completed indicator will also be shown on the programs and projects to provide clarity about their progress as they contribute to strategic themes.
• The visions, goals, objectives, strategic themes, and projects displayed in the network diagram display a colored bar indicating their object state. A new Object State filter is also available for the Strategy Network views available on the root node of the Strategy Network explorer. The filter hides all nodes in the strategy network that do not match the defined criteria.

The PI Planning view has been enhanced to make it easier to associate features with a program increment. A new Feature Type column in the selector allows users to clearly distinguish between Business Features and Enabler Features, improving visibility and helping teams better understand feature context during planning.

Program increments are available with the license Lean Portfolio Management. The use case Agile Transformation must be activated.

The layout and coloring of the RAG Status indicator have been refined and standardized across the Overview page of the program content area as well as in the Projects data workbenches. This consistent and visually clear visualization helps stakeholders quickly assess whether projects are on track (green), at risk or need attention (amber), or facing significant issues (red).

Programs are available with the license Strategic Portfolio Management. The use case Project Portfolio Governance must be activated.

The content area for an evaluation type has been extended to provide better transparency into its usage. It now clearly shows where the evaluation type is applied. The Class Configuration field lists all classes to which the evaluation type is assigned. The Prioritization Schemes and Portfolios fields display the names of the respective prioritization schemes and portfolios where the evaluation type is used. In addition, the Time Series Evaluation Type (Classes) section shows all classes where the evaluation type is configured for time series evaluations.

Prioritization schemes and portfolios are available with the license IT Transformation Server - Enterprise. Time series evaluation types are available with the license Enterprise Architecture Management must be activated.
