The practical guide to Scaled Agile for Product Managers and Product Owners.

SAFe®, the Scaled Agile Framework®, is the most widely adopted framework for scaling Agile. I believe that for SAFe (or any agile implementation) to be successful, the critical path includes empowering the product people to make the right decisions on the product they are building.

This book discusses specific practices that Product Managers and Product Owners can adopt to improve their product management expertise, drive the development of products, and support the SAFe implementation.
