I thought it would be implemented right away if it’s approved!

Wait, are we sure it doesn't just stay in analyzing until capacity?

I think it goes to the Portfolio Backlog after a 'go' decision.

I feel like it might stay in analyzing until there's capacity, but that doesn't seem right for a completed Lean business case.

If I remember correctly, the Epic should be moved to the Portfolio Backlog after a 'go' decision, but I might be mixing it up with another process.

I remember something about the Epic needing to be prioritized based on WSJF, but I can't recall if that happens before or after it moves to the backlog.

I think the next step is to get approval from Lean Portfolio Management before moving it to the Portfolio Backlog, but I'm not entirely sure.

The wording of this question is a bit tricky. I'll need to re-read it a few times to make sure I'm interpreting it correctly.

I don't know, Option A seems pretty straightforward. Get the Lean business case approved and then implement the Epic. Seems simple enough.

Option C is the way to go. The Epic should remain in the analyzing step until the Agile Release Trains have the capacity to implement it. Can't just jump the gun here!

I'm leaning towards Option D. If the Epic has the highest WSJF ranking, it should be implemented regardless of the other steps.

Option B seems the most logical next step. Moving the Epic to the Portfolio Backlog once it receives a 'go' decision from Lean Portfolio Management makes the most sense.
