In this webinar, you'll have a chance to learn more about Demand and Project Portfolio Management. After covering the definition as well as the basics of demand management and PPM, we'll dive deeper into the details, exploring how it relates to the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®).
We will also discuss the benefits and challenges associated with Demand and Project Portfolio Management. Finally, via a live demonstration, you'll have a chance to explore the practical sides of PPM: we'll show you how codeBeamer helps you capture and manage demands and multiple projects.

Editor's Notes
In the portfolio level, business activities, strategy and determination what epics, initiatives and demands are involved.
This level helps to give instructions for the directions in the portfolio agile release train to underline agile release trains in the program level by allocation budget along investment themes. Also a backlog of portfolio level epics that needs to be adressed by the portfolio product managers in the upcoming PSIs is being created. To ensure cohesiveness at that level, Dean Leffingwell describes the so-called „Business Epic Kanban System Workflow“ to limit the amount of portfolio level inititives and make sure the trains are focused on those initiatives together. After that the epics needs to be analysed. In the analysis you have to measure work and track work through the analysis process with Business Analysts and System/Enterprise Architects to unterstand what the impact of such an initiatives might be.
CodeBeamer‘s capabilies and feature on Demand management assists you in identifying, visualizing and understanding work. You can easily vote and rate on each epic before it becomes implemented. Demand Management in cB is essential for tracking demands and prioritizing requirements across departments. It provides valuable functionality and features that supports collaboration and helps forecast demand, meet consumers‘ expectations and also align the teams which form the Agile Release Train. Developers on the Team level will benefit from its integrated requirements management, development management, and QA & test management features.
After that you can easily move on to the implementation of the winner and most valuable initiatives in the portfolio backlog, that can be measured easily through all levels, which are also interconnected through the Agile Release Trains.
Fokus on one example (e.g blue string which represents the epic for Electric City Car Prototype)
In the portfolio level, the most valuable and winner epics are collected which shall be implemented by the teams.
One epic can be interconnected with a release train in the program Level
cB is the first implementation of SAFe in the Agile world. It sets itself apart from its competitors in that it enables Agile planning and scheduling while maintaining an established discipline of requirements, tests and development management tools. Another key differentiator is that cB provides versioning (baslines) and traceability for all artifacts, so vital for quality assurance (QA) and compliance (especially in the medical, automotive and aviation industries).
As, one of our customer in the industry sector tried to successfully integrate Demand Management with the Program and Team level, they had like over 2000 slides for the visualisation of their processes. This simple BPMN process should just give you an overview of the whole SAFe framework that we tried to implement with codeBeamer.
