As an organization gains the ability to deliver more value sooner through Agile teams (and teams of teams), it is critical that the value being delivered is aligned with both the outcomes desired by the customers and the strategic vision of the enterprise. The Lean Portfolio Management course helps executives, program managers, and other key stakeholders understand the principles and practices necessary to implement a successful Lean Portfolio Management function. SAFe Fellows, SPCTs, and SPCT Candidates teach our Lean Portfolio Management courses. These SAFe experts have real-world experience implementing LPM; your classroom experience will go beyond the theory as Applied Frameworks consultants have collectively helped organizations make investment decisions for more than $5 billion in portfolio spend.

Create a culture of innovation, flexibility, and speed where all people in the portfolio can effectively execute as one unified team. In this course, you will gain the practical tools and techniques necessary to implement the Lean Portfolio Management functions of Strategy and Investment Funding, Agile Portfolio Operations, and Lean Governance.
