## Run the most efficient organization

Design the ideal organization to align strategy to execution for faster delivery to your customers. Focus on creating the ideal flow of work across [connected Kanban boards](/content/resources/kanban/portfolio-kanban/index.html) within your organization. Let us help you implement the model that works best for your organization.

You are welcome to add additional levels, but shaping your organization with only these three levels ( **Strategy**, **Discovery**, and **Delivery**) will help you get started.

The [Portfolio Kanban](/content/resources/kanban/portfolio-kanban/index.html) board ensures at the **Strategy** level that you are aligned with your goals and that every area of your organization is clear on the key initiatives to focus on now. The **Discovery** level is organized around your specific value streams, grouping areas and leaders to work together on common projects/features. Lastly, the **Delivery** level is where all your teams have their specific process visualized on [Kanban boards](/content/product/online-kanban-boards/index.html) to deliver value as efficiently as possible.

## Agile Artifacts

When transforming an organization to unleash the full benefits of Agile, we provide multiple Agile artifacts to create the ideal [Portfolio Kanban](/content/resources/kanban/portfolio-kanban/index.html) system.
