Explanation

Demand Management uses Patterns of Business Activity to forecast demand, categorize work types, and apply prioritization models before routing tasks into value streams. This prevents overload and aligns capacity with expected demand profiles. Portfolio Management defines strategic themes and investment epics that translate business goals into prioritized initiatives. By sequencing epics against capacity and value, it ensures that the most critical work feeds into the value streams first.
