Lenses

Lens in Portfolio Planning indicate a perspective by which you can prioritize and plan your work. Lens and its structure represent the way that different planning managers choose to prioritize, fund, and plan work. For example, depending on your role, you can plan work from the perspective of a delivery organization, strategic investment, product, and others.

Pre-defined lenses and their structure

Portfolio Planning provides two pre-defined lenses to get you started with building your portfolio plans - Organization and Project Portfolio.

Planning managers can use these lenses based on their role at the company. Each lens includes multiple levels, that the personas can plan at, and together these levels form the structure for that lens.

Lens	Planning levels	Planning manager	Description
Organization	Company Business unit Department	Department head Business unit head	Visualize how work is aligned to company's objectives
Project Portfolio	Portfolio	Product manager Portfolio manager	Visualize how work is aligned to portfolios across the company
Project Program	Portfolio Program	Portfolio manager Program manager	Plan, prioritize, and roadmap the work in your programs.

You can work with your administrator to modify the structure for these pre-defined lenses. For more information, see Configuring lens in Portfolio Planning.
