Manage Your Project Portfolio

Now Try This

Review your portfolio. Do you see projects that are contributing to waste, rather than removing wastes?
What can you stabilize about your projects? Is it possible to fix the size of the queue of tasks? Or the size of the items in the queue?
Have you or other managers resisted stabilizing something about your projects? Write down why that works for you.
If you’ve tried this, what kinds of management costs have you seen?
