The success of Agile at project and team levels has sparked off its adoption at the enterprise level too. However, implementing Agile at the team level is quite different from scaling it at the enterprise level. With the SAFe® 4 Product Owner/ Product Manager workshop and certification, organizations can be sure that their product owners and Agile team members are fully aware of their responsibilities and duties to ensure proper implementation of SAFe® and bring about continuous improvement and maximum ROI. At the end of this interactive workshop, you would have gained the skills necessary to write Features, Epic, User stories in SAFe® Framework, and understand your role at the enterprise level.
There are no prerequisites for attending this training. Attendees must attend both days of the course in order to qualify for the exam.

No, there is no online/virtual course for this. This training follows a very experiential format with plenty of exercises and hands on sessions that can be conducted well in a classroom format.
You will receive 16 PDUs and 15 SEUs
SEUs are Scrum Educational Units, issued by the Scrum Alliance. SEUs are the mark of educational experience needed to earn the CSP (Certified Scrum Professional) certification.
PDUs and SEUs are credits awarded by the Project Management Institute and the Scrum Alliance respectively. They recognize your dedication to the Project Management and Agile world through the award of credits for every educational effort you make throughout your career. At present, Scrum Alliance members who hold a Certified Scrum Professional®, Certified Enterprise Coach and/or Certified Scrum Trainer credential need to earn SEUs to get recertified. Every PMI®certification, except the CAPM®,requires you to earn a specific number of PDUs per three-year certification cycle.
The trainers are highly qualified and certified instructors with many years of experience.
