Design a lean portfolio management approach that effectively aligns strategy, investment funding, and agile delivery approach.

NOTE: This will be a remote, virtual classroom course. Attendees must have internet and video conferencing capability to participate.

Taught by a SAFe SPCT, and leveraging Agile Rising’s background in remote learning and distributed SAFe planning, this course will give attendees the practical tools and techniques necessary to implement the Lean Portfolio Management functions of Strategy and Investment Funding, Agile Portfolio Operations and Lean Governance.
