What you'll learn.

Standard Scaled Agile POPM curriculum, taught by people who apply it in credit unions and banks every week. Theory is easy. We teach what survives contact with an examiner.

  • Customer-centric backlogs. Build and prioritize a backlog that starts from customer needs — not from whoever asked loudest.
  • PI Planning contribution. Prepare for and contribute to PI Planning as an effective member of the Agile Release Train.
  • Continuous value delivery. Support iteration execution and deliver value continuously — not in one big reveal at the end.
  • Stakeholder collaboration. Work with stakeholders, teams, and other product roles to keep strategy and delivery connected.
  • Understand the distinct — and complementary — responsibilities of the Product Owner and Product Manager roles
  • Write epics, features, and user stories that teams can actually build from
  • Apply Lean-Agile principles to sequencing and economic prioritization
  • Prepare for the Certified SAFe POPM exam, with exam access included in registration

The course takes two days. The capability takes a partner.

Certification is where product discipline starts — not where it ends. Our Product Management Strategies practice helps regulated organizations carry POPM skills from the classroom into the roadmap: ideation to launch, frameworks to prioritization, strategy to delivery.

Build the right things. Starting with this one.
