    Go Beyond Theory

    Lean Portfolio Management unlocks the advantages of Lean-Agile at scale. Aligning strategy with execution is critical to any organization’s success and key to achieving Business Agility with SAFe®.

    As an organization gains the ability to deliver more value sooner through Agile teams (and teams of teams), it’s 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.

    “The hands-on, interactive teaching style was perfect for me as a visual learner. So glad this was not two days of death by PowerPoint.”

    “The organization of the course was excellent. I really valued the pre-course readings and homework which allowed the live course to be dynamic and focused on solving cases rather than covering the finite details of the methodology.”

    Anna Maria Q.

    “The class felt very interactive despite not being co-located. The combination of the Miro board and Zoom breakout rooms helped a lot in creating an inclusive environment.”
