Use Case
Portfolio Prioritization
Which initiatives should we fund?
The Problem
Leadership asks for a prioritized portfolio, but every team thinks their work is critical. Without a shared model of constraints, prioritization devolves into politics and the loudest voice wins. Spreadsheet-based priority lists break the moment capacity or budget changes.
How CohesionXL Helps
CohesionXL lets you build scenarios that rank initiatives against real constraints — budget, capacity, skill availability, and dependencies. Drag and drop to reprioritize, see constraint violations instantly, and compare scenarios side by side. Stakeholders see exactly what moves when priorities shift, with audit trails that document every decision.
Outcome
Portfolio decisions grounded in constraints, not opinions. Every prioritization choice is traceable and defensible.
