Magnus
Program Manager
“I'd like to learn how to manage a portfolio of software products using agile concepts. My concerns seem bigger and more complex than user stories and backlogs can handle.”
Magnus is responsible for a group of closely related software products each with its own manager. While the product teams that have started to use agile methods are performing well he’s still got big problems to deal with including: planning across products with architectural dependencies, making and keeping commitments to sales and marketing, being responsive to existing customers, and reacting quickly to his company’s inevitable strategy changes. Magnus wonders if agile thinking offers some strategies he can use.
