Describe your agile initiative
Use an intuitive graphical user interface to describe the tree-structure of possible pathways of your agile initiative. Supported is any complexity. Then, each step can be described in terms of required investment, duration, possible results and their probability, return cash-flow and its sensitivity to delay.
Financially evaluate your agile initiative
The tree-structure and the description of each step are an extraordinarily convenient way of expressing all assumptions of the agile business case. On this basis, the financial valuation of each step is performed by using real options finance. This accounts accurately for agility and project specific risks.
Optimize the value of your agile initiative
Optimization strategies: (1) Align the investment profile with the risk profile. (2) Consider parallelization to accelerate time-to-market, i.e. accept higher risks to gain higher returns. (3) Access optimistic step estimates by admitting also medium and pessimistic ones.
Analyse your agile initiative and decide on investement
Check your investment decision by analyzing the possible loss, the availability of required resources, and the sensitivity to result probabilities.

Lean Portfolio Management, Cost-of-Delay, WSJF (Weighted Shortest Job First)
Cost-of-Delay arises from (1) the delayed timing of return cash-flows, (2) the decrease of return-cash flow as result from delay. Both effects are considered for calculating WSJF metrics for portfolio prioritization.
Scenario based strategic planning
Strategic scenarios may require the creation of options on building specific core competencies . Real option valuation enables to plan for such strategic options (timing and investment).
