Scaled Delivery Framework & Demand Flow

How demand moves from discovery into the right roadmap, through platform planning, and into sprint delivery ceremonies.

From idea to delivery

Product Discovery shapes the opportunity. The Ideas Backlog holds ideas and supporting context. Strategic or cross-functional work goes through executive governance and the Strategic Portfolio Roadmap before being broken into platform roadmaps. Platform-level features move directly into the relevant Platform Roadmap where planning happens.

Shape Product Discovery Frame the problem, validate assumptions and decide whether to proceed, park or stop. Holding tool Ideas Backlog Stores ideas, context, linked work and evidence. It is not a separate delivery stage.

Strategic or cross-functional route

For white papers, enterprise-wide initiatives, cross-platform dependencies or decisions requiring executive approval.

Executive Steering Committee → Strategic Portfolio Roadmap ↓ Platform Roadmap

Platform-level route

For validated platform features that can be prioritised with the platform owner and squad without strategic portfolio governance.

Platform Roadmap

The Strategic Portfolio Roadmap is a high-level view for cross-functional or strategic initiatives. Delivery is broken down and planned through the platform roadmap, platform backlog and sprint planning cycle.

Metrics sit alongside the flow Delivery metrics, squad health and maturity assessment help teams inspect and improve, but they are not a stage in the delivery cycle. Open Metrics
