Business Agility

Product Management is a customer-centric discipline focused on maximising product value throughout its lifecycle. It offers a structured approach to understanding customer needs, defining a clear product vision, and continuously prioritising and delivering the right features. This enables organisations to move from project-based delivery to product-oriented ways of working, with a strong focus on outcomes and value creation.

At Deloitte Nordics, we help organisations establish and mature their Product Management capabilities pragmatically and at scale. Leveraging proven practices and experience from large-scale agile transformations, we support defining product strategies, strengthening product ownership, and implementing governance models that balance autonomy with alignment. This empowers teams to prioritise effectively and respond quickly to changing customer and market needs.

Product Management bridges strategy, customer insights, and execution. By combining a clear product vision with data-driven prioritisation and continuous feedback, organisations can accelerate time to market, improve customer satisfaction, and ensure product investments deliver measurable business outcomes. Deloitte partners with organisations throughout the Product Management journey—from setup and role clarity to capability building and continuous improvement.

Agile People is a people focused discipline that represents a shift in how organizations approach business agility, with its own people at the heart of organizational success. 

At Deloitte, we recognize that agile transformation is not just about processes—it’s about people. Our structured approach to understanding people working in agile environments delivers measurable results. We begin with a comprehensive current state assessment, providing clear visibility into how your organization currently operates, where friction exists, and what untapped potential remains. Then, we develop targeted improvements—specific, actionable strategies designed to enhance agility and performance in ways that resonate with your workforce. Most importantly, during this process, we ensure sustainable change by establishing a common language for agile people practices that works across all organizational levels, from individual contributors to the C-suite.

Recently, a company came to us feeling stuck in their journey for higher agile maturity for several of their teams. They wondered if their people practices were hindering or enabling their journey. Using our structured approach, we were able to define the team's current maturity and identify areas of strength and areas to address for increased agility. Although recent, this have already led to increased visibility into the people side of agile, and increased knowledge sharing between teams around best practices. 

The path to true organizational agility begins with understanding and empowering your people. Let Agile People guide your transformation journey, turning people-focused discipline into competitive advantage.

Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) is a strategic framework designed to manage and optimise an organisation’s portfolio of initiatives, products and investments. It ensures alignment with overarching business objectives, enhances transparency, and maximises the delivery of value to customers. By applying LPM, organisations can prioritise and fund the right initiatives based on their strategic goals, available capacity, and risk tolerance.

At Deloitte Nordics, we have developed a comprehensive Lean Portfolio Management Playbook to help organisations adopt and embed agile, outcome-focused portfolio governance. Drawing on agile principles and Deloitte’s experience from large-scale transformations, the playbook provides practical steps to align investment decisions and prioritisation with strategic goals. It supports a shift from traditional project-based funding to flexible portfolio management that drives long-term value and agility.

Objectives & Key Results
A key component of successful LPM is the use of Objectives and Key Results (OKRs). Organisations set specific, measurable, and time-bound objectives that reflect their vision and mission, alongside key results that track progress towards these goals. OKRs foster a culture of transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement, helping teams maintain focus on what truly matters. Deloitte has extensive experience supporting organisations through their OKR implementation journeys, ensuring that this powerful tool drives meaningful outcomes within the LPM framework.
