Organisations that fund work as a string of temporary projects often watch teams disband just as they understand the problem, leaving products that nobody owns once the go-live celebrations are over. Over five days you learn how to move from that handover model to persistent, cross-functional teams funded to improve a product or service over time. Sessions cover the Project to Product shift described in Mik Kersten's Flow Framework, value stream mapping, product discovery, outcome-based roadmaps, OKRs and lean portfolio funding. You also look at how PMBOK Guide Seventh Edition principles, Scrum, Kanban and SAFe fit together when the unit of delivery becomes a product rather than a project.
Programme and project managers, PMO leads, product owners, delivery managers, business analysts and digital transformation leads in banks, telecoms, government agencies and NGOs will find the material directly usable. Afterwards you can map a value stream, write a product charter, set measurable outcomes and propose a funding model your finance team can approve. Sessions run in the classroom, online or in-house, and completion earns a CPD-accredited certificate.
Many organisations still run digital services, internal systems and even policy programmes as temporary projects: a budget is approved, a team is assembled, scope is delivered and the team moves on. The result is familiar to anyone who has inherited a system after go-live, with no owner, a growing backlog of fixes and little evidence that the investment changed anything for customers or citizens. Product-centred delivery tackles this by keeping stable teams accountable for outcomes over the whole life of a product.
The Next-Generation Project Management: From Projects to Products Training Course explains how to make that transition without abandoning the governance that sponsors and auditors rely on. It starts with the differences between project and product mindsets, then works through value stream identification, product vision and strategy, discovery and experimentation, outcome roadmaps and OKRs, and capacity-based funding in place of project-by-project business cases. Later sessions address flow metrics, hybrid governance with a PMO that acts as a value management office, and the people side of the change, including new roles, career paths and stakeholder resistance.
Teaching combines short briefings with workshops on a case organisation that is moving its delivery portfolio onto products. Participants build artefacts as they go and finish with a transition roadmap for one product area in their own organisation.
On completing the programme, participants will be able to:
