SAFe Lean Portfolio Management LPM (EN)

Inhoud

Organisations increasingly work with multiple Agile Release Trains (ARTs), but often still manage their portfolios using traditional methods. This creates friction, slows down decisions and weakens alignment.

How do you ensure strategy is clear and connected to execution? How do you fund work that delivers real value, not just projects or cost centres? And how do you foster ownership, transparency and measurable outcomes?

In this training, you’ll learn how to:

• Translate strategy into portfolio vision and OKRs
• Apply Lean Budgeting to fund value streams instead of projects
• Define portfolio flow using Kanban and prioritisation models
• Organise portfolio governance around outcomes
• Foster Agile leadership and strategic alignment

You’ll leave with concrete insights, practices and tools to create a more focused, adaptive and value-driven portfolio.
