GO BEYOND DEMOS

Model Strategy In Jira Align

Your organization has invested in Enterprise Agility, and now it's time to connect your Strategic Themes and Portfolio Vision to execution. 

As Epic Owners, you're tasked with the details of how to make strategy a reality. Or worse, communicating to leadership that the strategy is not possible with the current environment, capabilities, and Development Value Streams.

In this three-hour workshop, learn the key elements of an implementable strategy: one that can be carried out at scale and is tied to financial goals. Then, explore ways to model strategy in Jira Align. 

Get Hands-On Experience With Jira Align

Jira Align allows you to model strategy and tie it directly to your teams, but it's not a plug-and-play tool. That’s why we offer an introductory workshop to help you visualize how Jira Align can work for your organization.
