Training overview
In this course, we prepare you and your Product Owner/Manager colleagues for the Scaled Agile® exam in order to obtain the coveted certification as SAFe® Product Owner / Product Manager (POPM).
The SAFe® Product Owner/Product Manager course is a dynamic training that teaches the key skills required to perform the role of a Product Owner or Product Manager in a lean-agile environment. Participants are trained to design products from a customer perspective and to realize them iteratively. They will learn how to support a Product Increment (PI) Planning event and how to start planning with a well-prioritized backlog. The course also provides a deep dive into the Scaled Agile Framework®, including the structure and events of the Agile Release Train and team-level iterations. Course participants will learn how to formulate epics, features and user stories and break them down into smaller, manageable chunks. They will also be empowered to effectively contribute to PI Planning and set meaningful PI goals. In addition, the day-to-day tasks of product owners and product managers, collaboration with development teams and stakeholders are covered. Overall, the course equips participants with the necessary skills to create value in an agile organization and effectively fulfill the role of Product Owner or Product Manager.

Course schedule
Target Group
This course is intended for anyone who acts as an interface between internal or external customers and the development or operational teams. Whether you are already working as a Product Owner, Product Manager, Business Analyst, Tool Owner, Process Owner, Sales Manager or Account Manager or have a similar role depends on the structure of your company. Previous experience is not required, but a basic knowledge of product management and requirements definition is an advantage.
Level/Difficulty: Beginner
Prerequisites
- Completion of the online courses and reading of the documents and articles provided by Scaled Agile® after your registration for this course
- You should allow at least 1 week for part-time preparation (at least 4 hours)
- For remote courses, it is necessary to test the course environment with all participants in order to avoid delays at the start of the course. This test usually takes place in the early evening on a day the week before. If one date is not possible for all participants, Bizagility offers up to 2 test dates. Bizagility invites the course participants via Outlook with a Teams link. Of course, all course participants need a stable and high-performance internet connection, ideally a headset and a camera.
- On-site courses require a professional training environment that corresponds to the number of course participants. Above all, the room size, ventilation, background noise and equipment must be right. Sometimes it makes sense to hire an external conference room for this purpose. This environment must be available to the trainer on the day before the first day of the course for preparation and testing. In the event of questions or problems, the trainer needs a contact person from the customer.
