Architects plays an important role when working many teams together towards common goals. While the teams do a lot of the work that some traditional architects have been doing, the role of having the overview is more important than ever. Learn how and what to focus on in this three day deep dive training.

Course objectives

Attendees can improve collaboration and alignment in a SAFe® Lean-Agile enterprise when they become a SAFe 6.0 Architect. The SAFe® for Architects course prepares System, Solution, and Enterprise Architects to engage across the organization as effective leaders and change agents who collaboratively deliver architectural solutions.

During this three-day course, attendees will explore the roles, responsibilities, and mindset of Agile Architects, and appreciate how to align architecture with business value and drive continuous flow to large systems-of-systems while supporting SAFe program execution.

This course is for senior technical contributors who need to understand the role of System, Solution, and Enterprise Architects in Lean-Agile enterprises. The course is also appropriate for individuals desiring a deeper view into how architecture enables continuous value flow and how architects engage in, and contribute to, a Lean-Agile enterprise.
