Portfolio pilot loop
Use a bounded pilot to align demand, capacity, and portfolio decisions.
Portfolio owners can inspect the roles, cadence, evidence, and decision conditions before extending the operating pattern.
Qualify a defined demand set
Capture sponsor, decision requested, value hypothesis, time boundary, dependencies, policy constraints, and required evidence.
Expose capacity and commitments
Compare the demand set with available roles, delivery constraints, active commitments, dependencies, and sequencing choices.
Operate a bounded cohort
Assign portfolio, platform, delivery, and business roles to a defined pilot cadence with clear entry and exit conditions.
Review operating evidence
Inspect intake quality, ownership, cycle movement, dependency resolution, capacity visibility, and decision-record completeness.
Choose the next operating state
Portfolio leadership records whether to scale, adjust, hold, or stop the pattern and assigns the next owner and review point.
A defined demand cohort is compared with capacity, operated through named roles and cadence, reviewed through decision evidence, and concluded with an explicit scale, adjust, hold, or stop choice.
