Software Product Management training is a “hit” in Denmark

Sept. 24, 2012 - PRLog -- Denmark has truly adopted the new training for software product managers based on the syllabus developed by the International Software Product Software Management Association (ISPMA). The first course was offered in January this year and was sold out in just a few days. Since then it has been repeated twice.

The training is provided by ITB (The Danish IT Association) and delivered by Hans-Bernd Kittlaus from InnoTivum Consulting in Germany. TBK Consult produces the training. The training is completed with a formal ISPMA certification test controlled by The International Software Quality Institute (iSQI). So far 30 Software Product Managers have successfully undertaken the training in Denmark this year.

The training takes place at the IT University in Copenhagen.

Quotes from the participants:
“The SPM course was a perfect fit for my needs. The content was relevant, well structured and superbly delivered by Hans-Bernd Kittlaus who truly is an experienced expert in the SPM field. I especially enjoyed the practical case used for trying out the theory. The practical case was easy to grasp yet sufficiently sophisticated to challenge the application of the SPM principles. 3 days well spent."

"We have for some time been considering how to organize our product management function in the future. The SPM training provided a perfect framework, which we can apply right away. I am taking a list of to-dos home with me and will start executing tomorrow.  Hans-Bernd Kittlaus is a very experienced SPM expert and delivers the comprehensive content in a structured and convincing format. 3 days well invested."

2013 Program
The ITB Software Product Management training program for 2013 will also offer a 1-day SPM/Scrum workshop targeted at organizations that need SPM to work with development teams using Scrum as their development methodology. The emphasis will be on the product owner role in Scrum, how it can be positioned compared to SPM and how the two can productively work together.  The program will also offer a 1-day workshop for top executives discussing the role of Software Product Management in the grand strategy and organizational context.

Next SPM training with ISPMA certification in Copenhagen has been scheduled for January 14 - 16, 2013.
The SPM/Scrum workshop will be held on January 17, 2013
