The training

In the SAFe framework, product managers are a crucial part of the leadership team that also includes architects and Release Train Engineers. Together, they collaborate to guide Agile Release Trains (ARTs) towards the ongoing delivery of value.

During the three-day Agile Product Management (APM) training you will develop the mindset, skills and gain knowledge of appropriate methods to design new products using Design Thinking. During the training, we’ll go into:

  • Product Managers’ role in a Lean Enterprise

  • Continuous exploration of the market and customers

  • Strategic market segmentation

  • The role of empathy in design

  • Defining a vision and strategy

  • Developing solution-oriented roadmaps

  • Knowledge of Value Stream Economics

Our SAFe Agile Product Management courses are taught by one or two SPCs (SAFe Program Consultants) or SPCTs (SAFe Program Consultant Trainers). These inspiring trainers are consultants who are active in the field and have extensive SAFe experience in training and implementing SAFe at large organizations.
