Headquarters
July 2021 marked a turning point in my career at Groupe Pichet. After two years as Technical Lead (2019 - 2021), I took on the Technical Project Manager role. This shift required a concrete evolution: moving from pure technical work to product and project management. The PSPO certification formalized and structured this transition. It gave me a methodological framework to manage complex backlogs, prioritize product decisions, and communicate effectively with business stakeholders.
First Agile certification, focused on product management at the Scrum team level. Formalized the transition to a hybrid technical/product role.
Multi-project backlog management at Pichet. The need to coordinate multiple technical teams on integration projects revealed the limits of Scrum alone.
Acquired the SAFe framework to structure product management at enterprise scale: PI Planning, value streams, Agile Release Trains.
Applied SAFe principles to align technical decisions with strategic objectives. Managed the project portfolio with a program-level vision.
The PSPO is part of a complementary certification trajectory covering product management at different scales.
