This Agile Product Strategy and Roadmap training course teaches product managers and product owners to envision their product, to create an effective agile product strategy, to develop the right business model, and to build a compelling agile product roadmap.

The course is ideal for product owners who want to learn more about the strategic aspects of their work, and for product managers who would like to understand how a product strategy, a product roadmap, and a business model are best created in an agile or lean environment. The practices taught work with Scrum, Lean Startup, Business Model Generation, and Kanban.
