Lean Management Certification Training for Product & Operations Teams (LMPO)

Our Lean Management certification is built for teams that build, release and support products. Over two hands-on days, you map how your own work really moves, find where it waits, and leave with a one-page plan to fix it. More than 15000 professionals have learned with tryScrum, and we would love to have you in a future batch.

Course Schedule

Course Overview

This 2-day Lean Management course applies Lean thinking to the way products are built, released and supported. It covers value, waste, flow, pull and continuous improvement, and shows how they work in software, digital products and product support teams. The course combines short instruction with team-based simulations and activities, and ends with an A3 problem-solving capstone on a real problem from your own work.

Who is a Lean Management Practitioner

Most teams are not short of effort. They are short of flow. Work sits in queues, waits for approvals, gets handed from one team to the next, and comes back as rework or support tickets.

So what does a Lean Management Practitioner actually do?

A Lean Management Practitioner is the person who can see this. They look at a feature or an incident from the customer’s side, trace how it actually moves through the system, and spot where time and effort are lost. Then they help the team remove that waste, one small improvement at a time.

Lean was born on the factory floor, but its ideas travel well. In product development, the waste is half-done work, features nobody uses, and long waits between teams. In operations and product support, it shows up as repeat tickets, escalation ping-pong and manual work that should have been automated years ago.

A Lean Management Practitioner does not need a big transformation budget. They need a sharp eye for value, a few proven tools, and the habit of asking why things are the way they are.

At tryScrum, the LMPO course builds that eye and those habits. Whether you build products, run them, or lead the people who do, this course gives you a practical way to make work flow better.

Who is This Course for

The Lean Management for Product & Operations Teams course suits anyone involved in building, releasing or supporting a product. It is particularly useful for Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Product Managers, Delivery and Engineering Managers, Support and Operations leads, SRE and DevOps teams, and process improvement professionals.

If your organisation has separate development and support teams, sending both groups to the same batch works especially well. They map the same value stream from two sides.

Why Learn Lean Management with tryScrum

Built for product teams, not the factory floor: Many Lean courses still teach with manufacturing examples. This course works with features, releases, incidents and support tickets, the work you actually do every day.

Performance: You will learn to measure flow with lead time, cycle time, throughput and MTTR, and to use those numbers to make better decisions instead of louder ones.

Leadership: Lean improvement is led, not mandated. You will practise running Kaizen conversations and A3 reviews that bring teams along rather than pushing change onto them.

Features

Benefits

What you and your team get out of this Lean Management certification:

  • A Skill Few Product Teams Have: Lean is widely known in manufacturing but rarely applied well in software and digital products. Being the person who can map a value stream and fix flow makes you stand out.
  • Faster Delivery, Fewer Tickets: Learn to shorten lead times on the build side and cut repeat incidents on the support side, using the same set of tools.
  • Better Conversations with Leadership: Flow metrics and Cost of Delay give you numbers that managers and leaders understand, so improvement ideas get funded rather than parked.
  • Something to Use on Monday: You leave with a completed A3 for a real problem in your team, not just notes and slides.
  • Community and Networking: Connect with practitioners from product, engineering and operations backgrounds through the tryScrum alumni community and meetups.
  • A Path to Grow: Lean pairs naturally with Scrum, Kanban and product management, so it strengthens the skills you already have instead of replacing them.

Certification

There is no exam for this course. All participants who complete the Lean Management for Product & Operations Teams course and meet the in-class validation requirements receive the Certified Lean Management Practitioner – Product & Operations (C-LMP) credential from tryBusinessAgility.

Validation happens during the class itself, through three things:

  • Full attendance across both days.
  • Active participation in the core activities: value stream mapping, ticket classification, Kanban board design and Cost of Delay prioritisation.
  • A3 capstone: In the final session of Day 2, each participant or small team completes an A3 on a real problem from their own work, covering the current condition, root cause, countermeasures and a follow-up plan. Each A3 is presented and reviewed by the trainer before the class closes.

If your A3 needs more work, you can refine and resubmit it within 14 days of the class.

    The training content is great and instance quoted are very close to real time practices. Arun Vignesh (our trainer) was too good in his skill. He was able to empathise the participants queries and was able to clarify everyone's query in an efficient and understandable manner. This program can be taken by current PO's and also blooming and potential PO's. This training set the context of the Big Picture and enlightened how a PO can align himself/herself to add value to a product. Great job Tryscrum

      Great Experience with Mr. Arun in PSPO Training Classes! It's really a great experience to have the Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO) training classes by Mr. Arunvignesh Ramakrishnan. Mr. Arun not only covered the lessons to pass the PSPO exam but also tried to prepare us for real-life Scrum - something he called "Scrum+". Besides, he shared valuable experiences to get insights & awesome examples to illustrate a clear picture of the "True Scrum Scenario".
