Training description

Aligning strategy and execution is critical to the success of any organization and an important aspect of SAFe®. The Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) approach provides the opportunity to collaborate across silos, empower teams, and organize around customer values and needs.

Lean Portfolio Management training helps executives, project managers (PMOs) and other key stakeholders to plan dynamically and be flexible enough to adjust initiatives and budgets as the market changes. The training also provides the guidance and tools participants need to work effectively in remote environments with distributed teams.
