Skillbook SAFe LPM course was excellent. Good pace and course materials. Would highly recommend it.
SAFe is one of the Training 100% worth taking. All the participants were involved and taken into account since day1. Good pace and very, very interactive. We ended up feeling like a real team. I really hope we can see each other in training.
The 2 day workshop was awesome. Chris Harrison was my coach and he made sure all our questions were answered with proper explanations. Further preparation after the course helped me pass the exam with a good score of 98%. The training was the good first step which I would recommend for sure.
Join for the increase of knowledge, stay for teamwork and collaboration, leave behind great memories with your cohort! Thank you, for facilitating a great workshop, engaging so vibrantly with our team, and leaving us with lots to think about and work with in the realm of product management and agile methodologies.
The advantage window
Someone in your product team is already doing this.
They spent a day working out which backlog tasks an AI can draft, and how to tell a strong draft from a weak one. Their stories now reach refinement in better shape, and people notice.
Today
It sets you apart.
Few product people check AI drafts against a written standard yet. Doing it well still gets you noticed in refinement.
Within a year
It is expected.
The tools get easier and your peers catch up. Using AI on the backlog stops earning any credit.
After that
It is noticed when missing.
Your stories still come back from refinement, and people start to ask why.
Your lead timeClosing
Waiting is a decision too. The same day buys you a head start now, or a catch-up later. Only one of those is worth talking about in an interview.

What you will be able to do
Backlog work, done with AI and checked by you.
A stakeholder sends a one-line request. Your backlog holds a story far too big for one sprint. AI will happily draft a story for the first and a split for the second. Would you put either in front of your team? You spend the day making AI earn its place in your own backlog.
01
Turn a vague request into a story someone can actually test
02
Split a story that is too big for one sprint
03
Write acceptance criteria that hold up in review
04
Read hundreds of feedback items at once
05
Size value and write benefit hypotheses
06
Judge ten AI drafts against a checklist you wrote first
You leave with
- Six backlog prompts, tested and revised on your own work
- Worked examples of weak and strong AI output
- Your own checklist for judging AI drafts
- A head start on your hand-in, using a story from your backlog

Melissa is very knowledgeable. She made the class fun, engaging and interactive. I especially loved the breakout sessions. She gave real life examples and lots of simulations to help our understanding. I passed my exam on my first attempt. I absolutely enjoyed her class and would recommend it any time!

I took the Leading SAFe course a few weeks ago and passed the SA certification right after. I have no words to describe the quality of delivery, information and content passed down to us. It was a great experience and two days flew by so quickly.

Questions
Answered.
Who is this class for?
A working Product Manager, Product Owner or backlog owner. You already own a backlog and decide what ships first. There is no prerequisite, and nothing in the class requires you to write code.
Which AI tool do I need?
The one you already use. The class is not tied to one product. A tech check 48 hours before class confirms your account works. If you have none, you get a practice account.
What do I bring, and what if my employer says no?
Bring one story from your backlog that has been carried for two or more iterations, with its history, plus five other backlog items. If your employer will not let you use real material, you work on a practice set we supply and say so on your cover note. It is marked the same way.
How is my work marked?
Within 14 days of class you hand in work built on one story from your own backlog. A marker who did not teach the class, and who never sees your name or employer, reads it against the published marking guide. Each of four checks gets Not yet, Pass or Strong. You pass with Pass or Strong on all four. Your result comes back inside 10 working days.
What if my work comes back Not yet?
You get written feedback and one free chance to fix it and hand it in again, inside 14 days of the mark.
How long is the credential valid?
2 years. The valid-through date is printed on your certificate. Anyone can check it at americanschoolofai.com with your Certificate ID.
Can I book seats for my team?
Yes. Up to four people from one company can join a public class. For a bigger group, ask about a private class for your company.
Where does this lead?
Pass, and Certified AI Integration Manager is open to you: two days on work that crosses teams. Pass that and you can take Certified AI Adoption Leader (AI-AL), three days, which prepares you for the roles employers post as AI Enablement Lead and AI Adoption Lead. Nobody skips a starting credential.
