This training course teaches you how to create a winning product strategy and a compelling product roadmap for digital products. You will learn how to build, validate, and update a strategy across the product life cycle, how to systematically derive the product roadmap from the strategy, keep it up to date, and connect it to the product backlog. You’ll have the opportunity to create a vision, strategy, and roadmap for your own product during the training thereby transferring theory into practice. Additionally, you will learn how to manage a product portfolio and align the strategies and roadmaps of its members. The training is ideally suited for product professionals who want to develop their strategy-related skills and who work in an agile environment.
Roman teaches this course as instructor-led workshops with a mix of lectures, discussions, hands-on exercises, and plenty of Q&A so that you can get your questions answered by him. You can find out more about Roman’s online training by visiting the Training FAQs.
