For pizza, if someone wants to manage a portfolio, we would recommend they use a project for the portfolio, and use areas to divide up the work. <div class="gmail_extra"> <div class="gmail_quote">On 10 Nov 2016 7:19 a.m., "Michael Kleinhenz" <<a href="mailto:kleinhenz@redhat.com">kleinhenz@redhat.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">> My original understanding was that product backlogs are where work is > scoped, estimated and executed, and portfolio backlogs should just reflect > this in a rolled up manner. A portfolio WI is 'done', when the rolled up > stories in product backlogs are 'done'. I also thought exactly that until I talked to some POs at my old company in my last week there.

They consistently told me that if the lower level stories in the product backlogs are done, this does not mean the portfolio "story" is done. There are different Definitions of Done in place on the different layers and there also may be additional tasks on the higher level, like "review and approve". -- Michael -- Michael Kleinhenz Principal Software Engineer Red Hat Deutschland GmbH Werner-von-Siemens-Ring 14 85630 Grasbrunn Germany RED HAT | TRIED.
