Ironically, few companies have developed the portfolio and product management capabilities required to build products and services that customers actually want, use and love, leaving incumbents vulnerable to disruption. Agile portfolio management is critical to decision-making, because all organizations have limited funds with which to finance all the work they do (i.e., what they invest in).
