Course Description

SAFe® Lean Portfolio Management is a two-day interactive course that includes an optional one-day “Getting Started with LPM” workshop.

In this course, attendees will gain the practical tools and techniques necessary to implement the three dimensions of LPM: Strategy and Investment Funding, Agile Portfolio Operations, and Lean Governance. You will learn to establish a modern portfolio management system in line with Lean-agile principles. You will establish a deeper understanding of the SAFe® principles, roles, processes and techniques at the portfolio level. This will enable you to capture the current and future state of your portfolio using the Portfolio Canvas tool, and how to derive key business initiatives (portfolio epics) to achieve that portfolio vision. Through hands-on exercises you will learn how to achieve epic flow using the Portfolio Kanban System, and how to prioritize epics for maximum business value. You will also learn how to establish “value stream budgets” using “participatory budgeting”, how to implement useful “lean budget guardrails”, and how to measure portfolio performance.

SAFe® Lean Portfolio Manager is a certification course of the Scaled Agile, Inc. company and we provide it according to valid licence agreements. Please have a look on a course trailer provided by the Scaled Agile, Inc.
