The lean-stack take

For a lean portfolio team it connects strategy, funding and delivery in one place. Portfolio managers can run a portfolio Kanban, plan budgets and track work coming in from team tools such as Jira and Azure DevOps.

Best for

Large organizations running SAFe or another scaled framework that want portfolio, budget and team work in one system.

A good fit if…
