The certification program has a pyramidal top-down construct where the learner starts from recognizing the importance of aligning the business vision with portfolio strategy, creates the alignment, organizes portfolio around the value stream, optimizes the portfolio for maximum value delivery, establishes good governance practices and creates effective communication strategy for all stakeholders.
During the program, the learners not just go through the theory of it but also practice doing all the tasks one-by-one in the above given order for a fictional portfolio.
This gives them a safe space to apply their learning without building the cognitive overload. The purpose is to build confidence in applying newly acquired knowledge.
“The Portfolio Management certification offers a clear understanding of how to adopt DevOps on a higher strategic level and translate our business objectives and value streams into backlogs and work.”
