The management of products is at the heart of almost every business in the world. Product managers are responsible for all of the things that go into optimizing business outcomes, from building the right products, getting them off the shelf, exploring new markets, and making sure that financial choices maximize business value. Today we face new challenges in managing the product lifecycle due to disruptive technologies, fast-moving competitors, and increasingly complex supplier networks. The first step towards putting your Agile Product Development Team (APD) in a position of success is to understand why and how SAFe® Agile Product Management (APM) works in order to build the product the right way There are a number of courses available to help build the product the right way, but this course will take you one step further, focusing on helping Product Managers build the right product.

In my role as a SPCT, I have been on site implementing Scaled Agile Framework, launching Agile Release Trains (ARTs), and building valuable products, all of which I have proven to be successful in overcoming transformation challenges. As a former Project and Product Manager, I have helped many PMs to understand what it takes to deliver a Lean-Agile product that is successful, as well as how to avoid the common pitfalls. This course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the implementation of SAFe, with examples from my own experience and focusing on real-world situations, as well as an opportunity to share and analyze your unique context.
In order to ensure your organization’s sustainable success, you need to learn a variety of tools, techniques and gain experience in order to take your product to the next level. This will ensure your organization is able to achieve sustainable business agility now and in the future.
