Leading SAFe® (SA Certification)

During this two-day course, participants gain the necessary knowledge required to lead a Lean-Agile enterprise by leveraging the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®), and its underlying principles derived from Lean, systems thinking, Agile development, product development flow and DevOps. They will also learn and practice using their newly acquired skills - supporting and executing PI Planning events, and coordinating multiple Agile Release Trains (ARTs).

In our training we focus on making sure that participants understand 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 will learn how to build and support Agile teams and programs, empower a Lean Portfolio, build a Continuous Delivery Pipeline and DevOps culture as well as how to coordinate large solutions. By attending this training participants develop a skillset that’s in demand worldwide—and empower their enterprises to succeed in a disruptive marketplace—when they become a SAFe® 5 Agilist (SA).

Moreover attending the course prepares individuals to take the exam and become a certified SAFe® Agilist (SA).
