Agile Product Management with SAFe Course
The British Academy for Training and Development offers an in-depth and practical Agile Product Management with SAFe Course. This training is about the structure of the SAFe Agile Product Management framework, which integrates Design Thinking with Lean and Agile principles to generate viable and innovative products. Attendees will practically engage with techniques for product visioning, creating roadmaps, and customer exploration to establish and define the right products. This course will cover market segmentation, personas, and empathy interviews-how to get those real user needs into the product strategy. The application of Lean Portfolio Management teaches the course the definition of value streams, epic creation, and the roadmap for a product's life cycle. With WSJF (Weighted Shortest Job First), we start with an understanding of prioritising work, followed by how to manage that flow of work through the Programme Increments. Innovation accounting, hypothesis-driven development, and measuring product success are among key topics to be covered. Insights into collaborative product creation, the definition of MVP, and practices behind continuous exploration and integration will also be provided. Upon completion, attendees can fill in such vital positions as Agile Product Managers or Lean Product Owners capable of dealing with complexity and ensuring continuous value delivery on the SAFe enterprise.
