The course provides information and guidance across a number of areas that are required to build and maintain a broad āprofessionalā portfolio: collaboration, strong and positive culture, integrated teams, and employee satisfaction. The course provides an understanding on how to integrate different value streams and activities to create, deliver, and support IT-enabled products and services.
