About

Organize your company’s complete lifecycle of products and services

This two-day SAFe Product Owner Product Manager course will give you an in-depth understanding of the Agile Release Train (ART), how it delivers value, and what you can do to effectively perform your role.

You will also learn how to apply lean thinking to write Epics, break them down into Features and Stories, plan and execute Iterations, and plan Program Increments. Finally, the program will teach you about the Continuous Delivery Pipeline and DevOps culture, how to effectively integrate in your role as Product Owner or Product Manager, and what it takes to relentlessly improve the ART.

The SAFe Product Owner Product Manager training (POPM) teaches you all about the activities, tools, and mechanics used to manage backlogs and programs. After taking the SAFe Product Owner Product Manager exam, you’ll certify as a SAFe Product Owner Product Manager (POPM).

It was very interactive which is very important and the trainer was excellent.
The Gold SPCT badge stands for the highest achievable Scaled Agile partnership.
