Program management involves the allocation of business unit resources across a set of projects in order to maximize returns while balancing risks. To date, the agile literature has focused on the role of agile in individual projects. In this experience report, we discuss how the VeriSign Managed Security Services Team has extended core Scrum and agile concepts into the domain of program management. Our approach provides business unit leaders with cross- project insight and prioritization, portfolio and project roadmaps, and standardized backlog management tools, while simultaneously allowing individual projects to gain the benefits of agile development practices. Key to our approach is the emphasis on the role of the program management office in coordinating the activities among different project teams to achieve overall business unit goals.
