During this Leading SAFe course you will gain the knowledge necessary to lead a Lean-Agile organization by leveraging the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), and its underlying principles that come from Lean, systems thinking, Agile development, product development flow, and DevOps. You will discuss the seven competencies needed to become a Lean Enterprise. You will also learn and practice the skills for supporting and executing PI Planning events, and coordinating multiple Agile Release Trains (ARTs).

Course objectives

When attending the course, you will gain an understanding of the Lean-Agile mindset, why it’s so effective in today’s adapt-or-die marketplace, and what it means to lead a Lean-Agile transformation. You’ll also learn how to build and support Agile teams and programs, empower a Lean Portfolio, build a Continuous Delivery Pipeline and DevOps culture, and coordinate large solutions. You will develop a skill set that’s in demand worldwide—and empower their enterprises to succeed in a disruptive marketplace—when they become a SAFe Agilist (SA).
