How will this course help me progress?
The SAFe® Lean Portfolio Management course is an advanced program designed to help you connect your SAFe organization with a lean-agile portfolio.
By the end of the course, you'll know how to craft business hypotheses as epics, prioritize them effectively, and measure their success using leading indicators. At its core, the course focuses on implementing a lean budgeting process within LPM to allocate your limited resources to the most impactful initiatives.
Has your organization already taken its first steps with SAFe and gained some initial experience? Ready to take the next step at the portfolio level? Then this course is perfect for you!
Perhaps you’ve already gotten a glimpse of Lean Agile Portfolio Management in the Leading SAFe course. In this two-day course, we’ll dive deeper and explore the details. Organizations that successfully adopt and implement LPM can achieve true business agility—the often-mentioned but rarely attained speedboat of organizational responsiveness.
At the same time, let’s be honest: implementing LPM requires tackling some significant challenges. This course won’t sugarcoat the process—LPM is both fascinatingly simple and incredibly complex.
Am I the right person for this course?
The LPM course is an advanced program, meaning the content is challenging. Topics like Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), strategy development, and budgeting require a certain level of prior knowledge. Additionally, basic SAFe knowledge is a prerequisite, such as familiarity with Program Increment (PI) Planning or the Agile Release Train (ART). Participants should already have experience with SAFe.

This course is typically attended by professionals from PMOs, strategy departments, or executive leadership. Within the SAFe roles, it is particularly relevant for RTEs and STEs, Epic Owners, Business Owners, Enterprise Architects, and, of course, SPCs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an official SAFe® course?
Yes, it is! We’re an official Silver Partner of Scaled Agile Inc., and this is an authentic course. To be honest, it's even more than that. We believe two days aren’t enough, so we've added extra content to the course to complement the official material. We think it just makes the experience better—and it will definitely help you progress.
How does the exam process work exactly?
After the course, you’ll gain access to the exam. You then have four weeks to take it independently online on the SAI platform. The exam is “closed-book” and follows a multiple/single-choice format. In our bonus material, you’ll find additional information, practice questions, and exam tips to help you prepare.
For how long have you been doing this?
The Earth has been around for a long time, and we hope it stays that way. (Let’s make a change!) Our trainers have been active in the agile world and with SAFe® for several years. We've guided nearly a thousand people through SAFe® courses, healing minor aches and pains and helping move large corporations forward.
Do I receive PDU & SEU?
These abbreviations are familiar to you, and you need points for your PMI or Scrum certification? Good news! By participating in the course, you will earn these points. You can find the exact points here: https://bit.ly/3QUfOBW
Any info on the timings?
Of course! We start at 9:00 AM and finish the day by 5:30 PM at the latest. We always take a one-hour lunch break, with our suggested time for the group from 12:00 to 1:00 PM. There will also be additional, shorter breaks in between.
Is there a discount on your courses?
Potentially yes! - for those in need. Non-profit organizations, socially disadvantaged individuals, and those with hope are welcome to contact us. We will find solutions. Everyone else can benefit from early bird prices and group discounts.
What system requirements do I need for the remote course?
What hotel should I book?
In the Academy course, we have provided some hotel recommendations. Our training location is always dependent on availability and group size, but all options are close to each other. So, you won't have to travel all over the city at once.
How does catering work?
On both training days, we will provide you with light snacks. Additionally, lunch is on us. There will also be plenty of tea and coffee available, as well as sparkling and still water (the Germans' favorite!). In the remote course, these arrangements will be your responsibility.
Is the course delivery guaranteed?
We always operate under the assumption that we will go ahead with the course. We will inform you at least ten days before the course starts. Of course, unforeseen circumstances can arise on your end as well. If you have booked a course and something comes up, we can simply move you to the next one. Just let us know as soon as possible.
SAFe certification without course?
We often get asked if it's possible to obtain a SAFe certification without taking a course. Unfortunately, it’s not. Unlike Scrum.org, where you can choose to take a course or simply purchase an exam voucher and self-study, SAFe requires registration in a course offered by a SAFe provider to access the exam system. The good news is that the exam fees for your first attempt are included, so you won’t need to book the exam separately as you would with other frameworks.
