SAFe Product Owner/Product Manager POPM
Learn how to provide direction for valuable products as a Product Owner or Product Manager within a SAFe environment. Develop the skills to put customer value first, manage backlogs effectively and bring teams and stakeholders into better alignment. Available as a classroom-based, instructor-led training with a strong emphasis on real-world experience.
Content
There’s a lot happening in your organisation. Teams are delivering work continuously, dependencies are growing and stakeholders are demanding both speed and clear decisions. At the same time, the backlog keeps expanding, priorities shift regularly and it can be difficult to maintain focus on what truly matters to customers.
In this training, you’ll learn how to operate effectively as a Product Owner or Product Manager within an Agile Release Train (ART). You’ll gain insight into Lean-Agile principles, customer-centric working, backlog management, PI Planning, stakeholder management and value-driven prioritisation. You’ll also discover how to better connect strategy, execution and customer value in complex organisations.
The training is practice-led and interactive. Through real-world examples and the trainer’s own experience, you’ll gain more than just theory – you’ll learn what actually works in practice and where organisations commonly get stuck.
