“Visual portfolio management helps to align a company along the different dimensions of requirements, the strategic horizons of work, and the different natures of work required. It helps to make explicit the difference between the required types of work and to balance the amount of work being done in these areas to align forces across the company toward a unified goal or vision. The visualization helps to get rid of many cultural and process-related misunderstandings in a company and thus directly and easily addresses the company’s effectiveness.”

“Following these processes will result in a higher level of coherence across the company and helps to efficiently deliver the right products. This leads to a higher level of effectiveness, which finally leads to doing the right things right.” –  Markus Andrezak, founder of überproduct, a product consultancy in Berlin, excerpted from his article, “Visual Portfolio Management: Collaboratively Aligning Your Company” at InfoQ, click here to read the article in its entirety.
