Summary
In this chapter, we learned how to overcome planning and coordination challenges at the program level. We began by learning how to build product roadmaps for the near-term, long-term, and portfolio. We then explored how to effectively plan and deliver as a program, including the use of the program board, objectives and OKRs, and risk management. Next, we introduced Jira Align's rich dependency functionality and how it can help programs align toward value delivery. Lastly, we covered various program velocity views to assist with planning and predictability.
In the next chapter, we will focus on execution challenges at the program level. We will introduce the program room, the control center for program execution. We'll then continue the discussion on dependencies, including workflow and visualizations, and then explore ways to reduce unnecessary work, manage scope, and communicate PI and release progress.
