The majority of digital transformations fail due to a lack of proper planning. Many industry leaders claim that it is the instructor who is delivering the SAFe® Product Owner/Product Manager class that makes the biggest difference! As SPCT, I have worked in the trenches, implementing the Scaled Agile Framework, launching Agile Release Trains (ARTs) and building valuable products, successfully overcoming transformational challenges. My goal has always been to assist new POs and PMs in understanding what a successful Lean-Agile product delivery looks like, as well as to avoid the common pitfalls. By bringing my experience and personal stories to the course, I intend to deliver an understanding of SAFe® implementation that is meaningful, and I encourage you to share and analyze your own unique context as well.
By learning multiple tools, techniques, and experience, I will take your product to the next level, make sure you have a successful Product Owner/Product Manager role and that you to achieve sustainable success for your product and your company as well!
