1. Jira YPM for portfolio planning

Before work is ready for development, any idea for softeware development is first vetted by the portfolio management, to understand whether the proposal is of strategic value to YME. Once it is agreed that the idea should be implemented, a selection of what to do first is made based on business case, priority, and urgency. This way we ensure that time is spent on the most valuable topics.

Issuetypes

Issuetypes from YPM start with Programme in case of a large multi-quarter initiative, or start with Project in case of a large single-quarter initiative. A Programme can contain multiple Projects, just like a Project can contain multiple Epics. An Enhancement is a smaller, standalone improvement of existing functionality, that has strategic value on its own. A Deliverable is used to capture the High Level Design and Low Level Design, created by architects as input for the development team assigned. A Test is intended to capture UAT planning.

In due time it is expected that Epic, Deliverable, and Test will move into the development projects, away from Portfolio Planning.
