Align Strategy with Execution.
In order for any organization to succeed, it is essential to align strategy with execution and this is what SAFe® enables you to do. With Agile teams and Agile Release Trains an organization is able to deliver more value earlier. However, the value being delivered must align with both the outcomes desired by the customer as well as the enterprise’s strategic vision in order for the value to be delivered effectively.
There are a number of key stakeholders, such as Executives, Program Managers, and other, who need to understand the principles and practices that must be followed in order to implement a successful Lean Portfolio Management system. This training will show you how to organize around value and adapt to what customers want. You will learn how to organize around value and comply with what customers want – faster and more reliably – with the help of SAFe® Lean Portfolio Management training.
A recent study reveals that over 70% of digital transformations fail. As industry experts are aware, the instructor you choose to instruct you in SAFe® Lean Portfolio Management will make or break your transformation. It has been my experience as SPCT to implement Scaled Agile Framework and build Lean Portfolios, and I have proven to be successful in overcoming transformational challenges. Over the past few years, I have coached many Agile Leaders in order to help them understand what a successful Lean Portfolio implementation looks like. I am very familiar with the potential pitfalls that you want to be avoided. I aim to provide you with a meaningful understanding of SAFe implementation, bringing my experience to the class, as well as sharing and discussing your unique context as part of the course.
As a first step, I will help you to build a Lean Portfolio that aligns strategy and execution, strategy development and investment founding, as well as Agile portfolio operations and Governance that will ensure the success of your organization.
