Value Stream Funding

The Value Stream Funding enablers include Value Stream Planning, Lean Budgeting, and Financial Targets. Each capability within the Planview Capability Framework has a distinct set of features and functionality, business processes, best practices, and analytics and reports that deliver value to customers in the form of specific business outcomes.

Value Stream Funding Business Outcomes

Value Stream Planning

  • We can define, describe, and categorize the value streams that our organization requires to realize our strategic plan and develop/operate the products, systems, and services that deliver value to our customers.
  • We can define how the value stream and associated epics and features will deliver products, systems, and services.

Lean Budgeting

  • We can shift our funding model to organize around the value streams that are delivering value to our customers.
  • We can capture the costs of our stable team of teams against the relevant value stream.
  • We can set the overall value stream budget, providing the context for analyzing and prioritizing epics.
  • We can adopt an iterative approach to budgeting and adjust funding based on changing business priorities and outcome-driven indicators.

Financial Targets

  • We can define benefits or revenue targets that the value stream must yield while providing the context for analyzing and prioritizing epics.

Value Stream Funding Processes

Value Stream Funding provides a mechanism to define the value streams that will realize their strategic plan. This capability allows organizations to set financial targets in terms of projected benefits and revenue and provides a financial baseline for future investments.

           

Value Stream Planning Process Steps 

Value stream planning supports organizations that have made the value stream shift. It allows them to organize their funding model around value streams and connect streams to relevant products.

Process Step Description

Create/manage value stream financial targets (benefits/ revenue)

 Capture the revenue targets and benefits of launching the value stream, against which actual costs can be compared later. All appropriate data should be populated in the financial planning detail screen for the value stream.

Baseline value stream financial plan

 Following the input or roll up of financial planning budgeting and target data, a financial baseline for the financial plan should be taken to compare and track variances on the value stream financials through time.
