Connect strategy with execution. Master lean budgeting, portfolio Kanban, Agile governance, and investment funding to lead enterprise-scale Agile transformation.
SAFe® LPM is an advanced-level certification for leaders who manage enterprise Agile portfolio planning, funding, and operations. It bridges the gap between vision and delivery — giving you the tools to lead with clarity and agility at scale.
The SAFe Lean Portfolio Management course gives enterprise leaders the skills to apply Lean thinking to budgeting, governance, and portfolio operations — connecting portfolio strategy directly to business outcomes and Agile execution.
LPM focuses on three core functions: Strategy and Investment Funding, Agile Portfolio Operations, and Lean Governance. You will work hands-on with tools like the portfolio canvas, portfolio Kanban, and lean budget guardrails.
You will finish the course with a practical step-by-step plan to implement LPM in your organisation, supported by the Getting Started with LPM Workshop and the complete LPM practice guide.
Designed for leaders who need to manage Agile approaches to portfolio planning, funding, and operations at scale.
The LPM curriculum is structured around the four essential capabilities every Lean Portfolio Manager must master.
Connect portfolio initiatives directly to business strategy and keep investments focused on the most important outcomes. Translate strategic themes into actionable portfolio epics.
Fund value streams, establish lean budget guardrails, and manage epics using portfolio Kanban to support continuous, lean flow — moving away from annual project-based funding.
Coordinate across value streams, manage change, and support excellence through Agile PMOs, communities of practice, and operational dashboards for flow metrics.
Capture your current state, define your portfolio vision, and build a step-by-step plan to bring Lean Portfolio Management to life — with the Getting Started with LPM Workshop included.
A comprehensive curriculum from LPM foundations to governance, portfolio flow, and a practical hands-on adoption workshop.
45-question, 90-minute web-based exam covering the three core functions of Lean Portfolio Management. 77% passing score required.
