How do we manage our portfolio flow?

The business question How do we manage our portfolio flow? focuses on the steady flow of epics and features in Alfabet in alignment with the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) framework. This business question provides insight about the various roles and stakeholders responsible to plan, align, and monitor the epics, and ensures transparency across business and technological silos so that architecture planning is aligned to the business's strategy.

The best practice methodology Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) is implemented to prioritize business and enable epics based on their cost of delay in terms of business value, risk, and time criticality as well as cost forecast. The business question allows epics to be assessed, prioritized, and moved to the next phase of their lifecycle when capacity allows.
