How to Improve Your Portfolio Planning and Forecasting Process
Are you struggling with long term planning for your agile teams? Is it getting to the point where tensions exists between Leadership (who are asking for firm commitments on delivery dates) and the teams (claiming that “this is not how agile works”)?

- Explore the trade-offs of different approaches and address the perception that this approach violates some tried-and-true practices, such as not comparing points across teams.
