Pivoting Your Strategic Portfolio

Strategic Portfolios can be customized to dynamically group your roadmap data by objectives, roadmaps, lanes, child objectives, custom fields (single or multi-select), or shared legends. Flexible grouping allows you to modify the groupings for both the primary and secondary lanes of your Strategic Portfolio, empowering you to organize your data in a meaningful way to quickly understand how teams and roadmaps are driving company goals.

  1. After saving a Strategic Portfolio, click Edit to open the Portfolio Editor.
  2. Under Organize, choose:
    • Group by: Objectives or Roadmaps (Then by options will change based on the primary selection)
    • Then by: 
      • For Objectives as Primary: Opportunities, Roadmaps, Custom Fields (Single, Multi-Select), Shared Legends, or Child Objectives
      • For Roadmaps as Primary: Lanes, Custom Fields (Single, Multi-Select), or Shared Legends
        • Note:
          • Only available data will show based on what's in your portfolio set.
          • The data set only includes bars and containers that are directly or indirectly (via an opportunity) related to the objectives selected to create the Strategic Portfolio.
  3. Click Save to update the primary view, or click Save as new view to create a new view of this Strategic Portfolio.

Creating and Managing Strategic Portfolio Views

Strategic Portfolio Views allow you to create and save multiple visualizations of the same data without having to create a new portfolio.

  1. Click the Views dropdown next to the Strategic Portfolio title to toggle between views or create a new one.
  2. Click Create New View to generate a new view, then select different group by/then by settings if desired.
  3. Title your new view and click Save.
  4. Views will be accessible via the dropdown menu (the "primary view" is labeled).
  5. Open the Edit modal and go to the View Manager to delete any secondary views.
    • Note: Primary views cannot be deleted.

Best Practices

  1. Create an outcome-driven portfolio
    • For the primary view, use objectives as the primary "group by" to showcase how the work being done is driving impact and progression of company goals.
    • Secondary views can be created to help tailor the visualization to specific audiences.
  2. Use clear view titles
    • Title each view descriptively so users easily understand at a glance what each view represents.
  3. Use legends & custom fields consistently
    • Ensure that your valuable custom fields and legends are applied to your roadmaps so that the view reflects this data.
