This program focuses on techniques for going beyond the MAHD Core Framework to manage large projects, product lines and full portfolios. You’ll learn how to break large systems into discrete MAHD projects and how to bring the elements together in the right way at the right time, as well as how to manage multiple MAHD projects simultaneously. Once completed, you’ll have the tools to use MAHD principles and methods across your whole portfolio and organization.

Key questions we will answer:

• How do roles change and what new roles are needed as you extend the MAHD Framework?
• How can you apply MAHD methods to portfolio planning and product roadmapping?
• How do you coordinate multiple MAHD teams to deliver large project success?
• What do linked Iteration Plans look like and how do you effectively lead cross-project planning?
• How are backlogs managed for complex projects and portfolios?
• How is sustaining engineering work managed in the MAHD Framework?
• What challenges should you expect as you scale MAHD and how can you overcome them?
