Portfolio Vision

What this means in practice
The portfolio vision is the aspirational anchor against which Calibrate measures the current-state baseline and computes the transformation gap, and it provides the long-horizon narrative that justifies near-term investment trade-offs.
Context in the COMPEL framework
Consumed by COMPEL Calibrate to set maturity targets and frame the gap analysis. Derived from SAFe Portfolio Vision and TOGAF Architecture Vision practice.
