Overall Agile Business Management Curriculum:
This course is part of an overall curriculum designed for business people to effectively participate and lead in an Agile environment. Agile significantly changes the role of business people in leading and managing projects and requires a much more active business leadership role to guide the direction of projects that are in progress. The overall curriculum consists of three primary courses:
1. Agile BM 101 - Introduction to Agile Business Management
This course provides a solid foundation for the other courses in this overall curriculum and helps all business personnel develop a solid understanding of how to implement a hybrid approach that blends the two approaches in the right proportions to fit any given situation
2. Agile BM 201 - Mastering Agile Business Management
This course is designed to provide a much deeper understanding of how to effectively lead Agile/Scrum projects for anyone in a Product Owner role or in an equivalent level of business responsibility. The Product Owner role in Agile is not well understood and many business managers who are assigned to perform that role are not well-prepared for it.
3. Agile BM 301 - Enterprise-level Agile Business Management (this course)
The final course in this series is focused on advanced topics related to applying Agile to a business at an enterprise level including
Alignment and Value Disciplines
Enterprise-level frameworks (SAFe and DAD)
Enterprise-level Agile Transformations
Organizational Culture and Change Management

Why Is This Curriculum Important?
In a traditional, plan-driven project management environment,
A large part of the management of a project can be delegated to a project manager, and
Once the business requirements for the project are documented and approved by the business, the business role in providing leadership and management of the project can be limited.
In an Agile environment,
The requirements and the design of the solution evolve and are further refined as the project progresses
For that reason, it is essential that the business is much more directly involved in providing leadership and direction to the project as it progresses
In order to provide effective leadership and direction to projects, the business people who are either directly or indirectly involved in Agile projects need to fully understand how the process works in order to participate collaboratively in the process with the project teams who are responsible for developing the solution.
Many existing courses for business people in an Agile environment such as Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) are limited to the "mechanics" of how to do Agile and are limited to a pure Agile approach. This course goes into much more depth to give business people a very solid and deeper understanding of both Agile/Scrum as well as traditional plan-driven project management and how to successfully apply it in a business environment.
