Tune in on a conversation about agile budgeting between Matt Light, Planisware VP and former chair of Gartner’s PPM research, and guest speaker and Forrester Strategic Portfolio Management analyst, Margo Visitacion.
Recent COVID-19 challenges have highlighted the fact that companies must rapidly adapt to fast-changing conditions – but many lack experience with agile budgeting practices. Those with experience often report the incompatibility of existing budgeting processes with agile. More and more enterprise executives have sought ways to adjust their financial planning with rolling budgets that maintain a 12- or even 18-month forecast, but they are frequently updated based on business events and rhythms (e.g., quarterly), not on a fiscal year.
In this session, you will learn:
- How agile budgeting supports design thinking and how it moves from funding projects to funding teams
- How to set up a prioritization and review cadence
- The benefits of monitoring objectives and key results (OKRs) and value-stream flow (vs. time tracking)
