Why this course

Every sprint planning meeting ends with the same frustration: multiple product owners pull in competing priorities, the portfolio Kanban board is a patchwork of spreadsheets, and senior leadership still asks for a clear view of what will actually ship. The tooling stack, Jira, Confluence, and a handful of Excel trackers, creates duplicate effort, and the lack of a unified view means every release plan is a gamble. When the next quarterly business review arrives, the team scrambles to produce a deck that looks coherent, but the data gaps expose you to questions you cannot answer.

Meanwhile, the cadence of PI planning is under pressure from a new executive mandate to cut cycle time by 20%. The current process relies on manual status updates, ad-hoc spreadsheets, and a series of email threads that never make it into a single source of truth. If the portfolio cannot demonstrate predictable delivery, the organization risks reallocating budget away from the Agile function altogether, putting your role and the team's future at risk.

What you walk away with

A unified portfolio roadmap that aligns team capacity with business objectives.
A live PI planning dashboard that updates automatically from your toolchain.
A stakeholder briefing pack that answers executive questions in under five minutes.
A risk register that captures and prioritises delivery blockers before they become escalations.
A repeatable cadence for continuous improvement that shortens cycle time by at least 15%.

The 12 modules

Module 1. Mapping Portfolio Value Streams

67% of scaled Agile initiatives stumble because value streams are never visualised. The module walks through a real-time workshop scenario where you map each stream against revenue impact. By the end you own a value-stream canvas that ties every feature to measurable business outcomes. Output: a populated value-stream map ready for executive review.

Module 2. Standardising Backlog Data

During Tuesday's backlog grooming, the team discovers duplicate epics scattered across three boards. This module shows how to consolidate those items into a single, taxonomy-driven backlog that feeds directly into PI planning. The deliverable is a clean, de-duplicated backlog template that eliminates confusion.

Module 3. Designing the PI Planning Dashboard

A question that the Agile Coach asks themselves out loud: How can I show progress without drowning in spreadsheets? This module builds a dashboard that aggregates sprint metrics, capacity forecasts, and risk flags into one view. What you ship from this module: a ready-to-use PI planning dashboard.

Module 4. Creating the Stakeholder Briefing Pack

By module end a stakeholder briefing pack sits in your drive, summarising roadmap, capacity, and risk in three concise slides. The pack is designed for the quarterly business review, letting senior leaders see exactly what will be delivered and when. Output: a polished briefing deck.

Module 5. Building a Risk Register for Delivery

When a new compliance audit looms, the team needs a clear picture of delivery risks. This module guides you through a risk-identification workshop, populating a register that links each risk to mitigation actions and owners. The deliverable is a populated risk register that can be presented to auditors and executives alike.

Module 6. Automating Status Sync

A tension between the need for transparency and the overload of manual reporting. This module creates a lightweight automation that reduces reporting effort by 80%. What you ship from this module: an automated status sync script.

Module 7. Designing the Continuous Improvement Loop

Fastest path from a messy retrospective to a measurable improvement plan: capture action items, assign owners, and track outcomes in a live improvement board. By the end you have a continuous-improvement board that drives cycle-time reduction. Output: a live improvement board.

Module 8. Aligning Team Capacity with Business Goals

An auditor asks how capacity aligns with strategic objectives. This module builds a capacity-to-goal matrix that visualises each team's bandwidth against quarterly targets. The deliverable is a capacity-to-goal matrix ready for the next PI planning session.

Module 9. Facilitating Effective PI Planning Sessions

During the upcoming PI planning, the facilitator struggles to keep the agenda on track. This module provides a step-by-step facilitation guide, complete with timeboxing cues and decision-making checkpoints. What you ship from this module: a facilitation guide.

Module 10. Generating Executive-Ready Reports

A stakeholder POV: the CFO wants a one-page health check before the budget meeting. This module assembles the necessary metrics into a concise report. The deliverable is a ready-to-use executive report.

Module 11. Embedding the Cadence into the Organisation

When the next quarterly cycle begins, the team needs a repeatable rhythm. This module defines the recurring ceremonies, artefacts, and communication flows that keep the portfolio aligned. The artefact is a cadence playbook that can be handed to any new coach.

Module 12. Measuring Impact and Communicating Wins

The fastest path from implementation to visible impact is a post-PI review that quantifies delivered value against the roadmap. This module equips you with a win-communication template that translates metrics into business language. Output: a win-communication template.

Before and after

Before

Your portfolio lives in scattered Excel files, separate Jira boards, and endless email threads. Stakeholders receive inconsistent updates, risk items disappear before audits, and each PI planning feels like a scramble to align data. The lack of a single source of truth forces the team to spend hours reconciling numbers, and leadership questions the value of the Agile function.

After

All portfolio data lives in a unified dashboard that updates automatically, a single risk register is ready for audits, and a concise briefing pack is presented at every business review. The team follows a repeatable cadence, delivers predictable releases, and leadership uses the artefacts to champion continued investment in Agile.

What happens if you do not address this

If you ignore this now, the next PI planning will be a chaotic scramble, the executive board will question the Agile function’s ROI, and you may lose budget before the next fiscal quarter. The risk of missing the upcoming compliance audit also rises as delivery evidence remains fragmented.

Who it is for

An Agile Coach who runs the scaled framework across several Scrum teams, facilitates PI planning, and translates executive objectives into concrete iteration goals. They spend their weeks juggling stakeholder workshops, backlog refinement sessions, and the constant need to surface real-time capacity data for leadership decisions.

Who this is NOT for. This is not for someone who needs a 101 introduction to Agile fundamentals.

How it arrives

Within 24 hours of purchase your account in the learning environment is provisioned and the tailored implementation playbook is delivered alongside it. The playbook is hand-built around your specific situation, not LLM-generated boilerplate.

Time investment. 6 hours of focused work spread over a week, saving an estimated 40-60 hours of internal scaffolding work.

Why $199 is the right number

For $199 you get a complete, hands-on course plus a custom playbook, versus hiring a consultant for a half-day at $2K-$5K, paying $800-$2K for a generic certification, or spending 60+ hours building the same artefacts yourself.
