The result is often a massive overload of initiatives, poor quality, delayed projects, and a fundamental disconnect between output and actual business impact. In this talk, my colleague and I share how we introduced Lean Portfolio Management at Zühlke Engineering, what we achieved in our first MVP after six months, and where we plan to go next.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>How Zühlke Implemented Lean Portfolio Management with Kanban and OKRs</title><link>https://romanoroth.com/en/speaking/lean-portfolio-management-with-kanban-and-okrs/</link><pubDate>Mon, 29 Nov 2021 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://romanoroth.com/en/speaking/lean-portfolio-management-with-kanban-and-okrs/</guid><description>&lt;p>How can strategy be translated into execution in a transparent, lean, and scalable way?&lt;/p>

&lt;p>In this session, we share how Zühlke introduced Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) based on SAFe and adapted it to the organizational context. We show how we built an MVP for LPM by combining a portfolio kanban, transparent epic and roadmap management, and group-wide OKRs to improve strategic alignment and decision-making.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Participatory Budgeting: Financing in the 21st Century (English Talk)</title><link>https://romanoroth.com/en/blogs/participatory-budgeting-21st-century-english-talk/</link><pubDate>Sun, 17 Oct 2021 10:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://romanoroth.com/en/blogs/participatory-budgeting-21st-century-english-talk/</guid><description>&lt;p>This is the English-language version of our talk on participatory budgeting at Zühlke.
