Agile prioritization occurs throughout different levels of requirements, with focus on sequencing the highest value work first. Value and direction are often defined by business strategies, setting the north star for the enterprise to align priorities, delivery, and most importantly, requirements to. At an enterprise level, agile methodologies are indirect about how to qualify and align requirements to strategies, which often creates duplication and complexity challenges in delivery.

This session highlights how business architecture strengthens prioritization of requirements and alignment to strategies for organizations operating in agile environments. The examples provide business architect practitioners with three methods to inform prioritization of requirements across business architecture domains: requirements through strategy, capability driven requirements and reconciling requirements of initiatives. This in turn helps organizations to remove duplication, reduce complexity with common solution and improve future speed to market with re-use of requirements. The methods shared are suitable across industries.
