Coordinate work across a portfolio
Oversee complex cross-functional programs to achieve long-term business goals
Set program standards
Create a framework for program success. Go from a project mindset to a product mindset to implement programs centered around delivering real customer value. Build templates to standardize every aspect of how teams plan, manage, and provide updates. And set up an information hub to make program resources easily accessible to internal teams.
Build a visual roadmap
Define programs that support the overall business strategy. Examples might include improving the customer experience, meeting compliance standards, or expanding into new markets. Set clear objectives for each program and establish the timeline, budget, and scope. Then, create a roadmap to share your plans with leadership and other key stakeholders.
Plan program delivery
Work with individual product and project teams to build out detailed plans. Create a roll-up Gantt chart to group related projects in one view — capturing program phases, milestones, and cross-team dependencies. Allocate resources and assess team capacity to vet the feasibility of your plans, all while mitigating risk.
Stay on schedule
Create a program dashboard to monitor key delivery metrics in one view. Automatically calculate the percentage complete of the overall program based on the progress of underlying projects, and proactively address potential problems. Share your dashboard with leadership, stakeholders, and project teams to keep everyone aligned and informed.
Report on value delivered
Show how programs support long-term company growth. Capture all your financial metrics in Aha! Roadmaps, including budgets, costs, and ROI. Then, create reports to analyze your program data — showcasing value delivered to customers and the business. Review program performance and identify opportunities to increase efficiency.
