This course introduces you to lean portfolio management, helping you align multiple product lines with overarching business goals without the overhead of traditional management. You will transition from managing individual features to steering a high-performing product suite.

The course begins with foundational definitions of portfolio management and strategic alignment before moving into practical frameworks for resource allocation, metric tracking, and modern governance.
