Lean Portfolio Management (ICP-LPM)

About this course

Align strategy, funding, and governance—so the portfolio actually delivers business agility.

Lean Portfolio Management (ICP-LPM) digs into the what and why of LPM in an Agile enterprise: why traditional portfolio practices stall agility, what principles replace them, and how LPM becomes the bridge between strategy and execution.

You’ll learn how LPM supports adaptive strategy in complex organizations—building plans that stay resilient and flexible when conditions shift, instead of locking the enterprise into annual bets that age overnight.

Funding and budgeting take center stage: shorter cycles, faster adaptation, and stewardship of money and capacity so resources flow to what matters most—not to what was approved last year.

Governance and measurement close the loop. You’ll practice portfolio oversight that manages risk, conflict, and variance—and use LPM metrics so decisions stay data-driven, visible, and accountable.
