How will this course help me progress?
The SAFe® Product Owner/Product Manager course teaches you what it means to take on one of these roles in a lean-agile organization. You will learn how the two roles differ and how they collaborate during the joint planning meeting (PI Planning) and the subsequent implementation cycles.
Discover how to think about products from the customer’s perspective, translate them into features and stories, and iteratively implement them through your backlog.
Do you love working step by step with your team as a Product Owner or with the Agile Release Train as a Product Manager to bring products to life? Then this course is perfect for you!
Am I the right person for this course?
The most important thing upfront: YES! Anyone interested in modern working methods will benefit from our course.
Why choose Nerd Republic?
The SAFe® Product Owner/Product Manager course is an excellent introduction to the Scaled Agile Framework. However, it’s helpful if you already have a basic understanding of agility and iterative product development. If you haven’t had any prior exposure to agility, particularly Scrum, you might encounter a few challenges. But don’t worry— we’ll take the time to support you individually and are happy to explain the same question 20 times if needed.
We’ll show you how to prepare for a Program Increment (PI) Planning event in your role and enter the planning phase with a prioritized backlog. You'll also learn how to implement the plan during iterations and adapt it when necessary. Experience the rhythm of the team and the ART in this fantastic introduction to the framework.
The SAFe® POPM course is also a great entry point into the Scaled Agile Framework—even if you’re not directly involved in product development. You'll gain foundational insights into the structure and events of the Agile Release Train, as well as iterations at the team level.
Looking to dive even deeper into SAFe principles and Lean Portfolio Management? Then we recommend the Leading SAFe® course from our catalog.
Am I the right person for this course?
The most important thing upfront: YES! Anyone interested in modern working methods will benefit from our course.
In preliminary discussions, we are often asked whether you need to already be a certified Product Owner (e.g., with Scrum.org). The answer is no, this is not required. However, it is highly beneficial if you already have experience in an agile environment or even a SAFe implementation.
This course typically attracts a diverse group of participants, including product managers, product line managers, and product owners. Depending on the size of the organization, the course is also an excellent fit for traditional project managers, PMO staff, and portfolio managers.

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.
