My library Knowledge Sources To Go is very popular, but it was intended mainly as a thematically grouped guide to standard sources and was provided by me as a PDF file. For certain topics, however, there is so much content that I can no longer include it in that document, as it cannot continue to grow forever.
For this reason, I have decided to handle such topics in individual community articles like this one instead.
What is Strategic Planning?
ServiceNow’s Strategic Planning (formerly known as Alignment Planner Workspace) solution provides an end-to-end integrated planning experience that aligns strategy to execution by enabling business leaders to define and track goals across the organization; gather, review, and prioritize work that aligns with the strategy; and track status and progress of initiatives on an interactive visual roadmap - all in a single platform. Strategic Planning’s flexible design supports Agile, hybrid, and waterfall planning methodologies and enables planner to quickly uncover planning insights by creating, and sharing portfolio plans based on their desired way of visualizing and grouping work (lenses) such as organization, product, strategic investments, goals, value stream or a custom configuration.
The Strategic Planning Workspace enables organizations to:
- Create goals and connect work to strategy to deliver desired outcomes
- Gather, review and prioritize initiatives, and work items all in a single
workspace before strategically committing them in the roadmap. - Plan both your agile and traditional work within in a roadmap
- Plan, create dependencies, and track roadmaps intuitively.
- Sequence work to support milestones.

What is Strategic Portfolio Management anyway?
With this blog, I will use the analogy that I used to explain Strategic Portfolio Management to my son. I hope you will find this useful and can use this (or something similar) to explain SPM to your colleagues too! And more important, why everyone in the organization should care about this.
