About the Book

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.

“Valerio Zanini’s book, The Practical Guide to Scaled Agile for Product Managers and Product Owners, is a comprehensive handbook for Product Managers and Product Owners who play a crucial role in defining and delivering new products and solutions. It provides a solid foundation for learning about the critical aspects of the Framework with a deeper focus on applying product-based thinking in SAFe. Written from personal experience gained during multiple SAFe implementations, Valerio includes many case studies, examples, tips, and techniques, as well as advice from thought leaders across the Lean-Agile community, ensuring the book has direct practical application.”

By Andrew Sales, Chief Methodologist, Scaled Agile Inc.

“Through a blend of practical insights, real-world examples, and expert advice from experienced SPCs and SPCTs, readers will gain a deep understanding of how to leverage these transformative technologies to drive innovation, collaboration, and adaptability. The journey to thriving in today’s digital era requires a nuanced approach that embraces change, fosters creativity, and prioritizes continuous improvement. Embark on this journey of discovery and transformation with Valerio Zanini to unveil the secrets of unleashing business agility in the digital era, one SAFe agile step at a time.”
