Lean Product Portfolio Management

Overview

Today’s organizations find themselves in an increasingly competitive marketplace. As competitors move fast and consumer demands evolve faster than ever before, the ability and willingness to be agile is critical but not sufficient.

Organizations need an enterprise capability to constantly define their purpose (the “why”) and focus (the “what”) at all levels to maximize value creation and delivery.

Product management practices build unprecedented discipline during the course of building a successful product. Teams constantly evaluate who they are building for, what they should build, and why they should build it. Developing a clear understanding of these aspects (the “who”, the “what” and the “why”) prior to undertaking the expensive build process ensures two critical outcomes - that an organization’s limited resources are constantly aligned to delivering highest value, and the output aligns with what the customers are looking for, thereby ensuring product success.

The Lean Product Portfolio Management programme in collaboration with University System of Maryland - USMx is a Professional Certificate.
