Most organizations manage work in silos where teams execute, but the portfolio stays separate and invisible. This course changes that. Applying Scaled Portfolio Kanban teaches you how to design and operate a Portfolio Kanban system that brings full transparency to the highest levels of your organization, so that strategy and execution actually connect.
Over three days, you'll learn how to visualize and actively manage your portfolio of work, align initiatives with organizational strategy, surface and resolve blockers and dependencies across teams, and use flow metrics to forecast realistic completion dates. You'll leave with the tools and techniques to reduce overload, improve predictability, and make better decisions about what your organization takes on and when.
Upon completing the course, you'll have the opportunity to take an online assessment to earn the Scaled Portfolio Kanban (SPK) credential, issued through Credly.
Who It's For
This course is designed for leaders, managers, and practitioners who are responsible for or deeply involved in managing work above the team level. It's a strong fit for:
- Portfolio managers and program managers who need better visibility into what's in flight and what's at risk
- Engineering mangers and executives who want data-driven insights to guide strategic decisions
- Product managers and delivery leads ready to expand their impact across the organization
No prior Kanban certification is required, though familiarity with basic Kanban concepts (pull systems, WIP limits, flow) will help you get the most out of the course.
