Certified SAFe® Product Owner/Product Manager training for all POs in the SKA bridging Release Train. This will use materials from the official Scaled Agile course and will allow attendees to obtain SAFe PO/PM Certification. However, we also intend to use the course as a discussion forum to agree how we should tailor this role to the SKA context.
