SAFe for Hardware Agilist (SHWA)

SAFe for Hard­ware Ag­ilist is a two-day course that im­mers­es par­tic­i­pants in the hard­ware in­dus­try and gives them the op­por­tu­ni­ty to learn how to adapt SAFe to their in­dus­try us­ing real-world ex­am­ples and hard­ware-spe­cif­ic con­text. It en­ables or­ga­ni­za­tions to seam­less­ly in­te­grate SAFe prin­ci­ples into hard­ware de­vel­op­ment, ac­cel­er­ate de­ploy­ment, and main­tain flex­i­bil­i­ty while man­ag­ing the com­plex­i­ty of large sys­tem designs.

Many or­ga­ni­za­tions that de­vel­op hard­ware-based so­lu­tions face unique chal­lenges when at­tempt­ing to adopt Lean-Ag­ile prac­tices. The gap be­tween tra­di­tion­al de­vel­op­ment process­es and mod­ern ag­ile method­olo­gies can seem over­whelm­ing. To bridge this gap, par­tic­i­pants will gain the fol­low­ing ac­tion­able skills: ac­cel­er­at­ing de­vel­op­ment cy­cles, col­lect­ing and re­spond­ing to feed­back quick­ly, and im­prov­ing flex­i­bil­i­ty. The course serves as prepa­ra­tion for the SAFe® for Hard­ware Ag­ilist (SHWA) certification.

SHWA Content and learning objectives

Par­tic­i­pants will learn to im­ple­ment the fol­low­ing skills:
  • Ac­cel­er­a­tion of de­vel­op­ment cycles
    Ac­cel­er­ate learn­ing and de­liv­ery and re­duce time to market.
  • Quick feed­back
    Quick­ly col­lect and re­spond to tech­ni­cal, mar­ket and user feed­back to re­fine prod­ucts and processes.
  • Im­proved flexibility
    Adapt to change quick­ly and ef­fi­cient­ly and en­sure teams can piv­ot when needed.
  • Im­proved col­lab­o­ra­tion and communication
    Strength­en team­work be­tween en­gi­neers and stake­hold­ers for more ef­fec­tive workflows.
  • Proac­tive risk management
    Ear­ly risk de­tec­tion and mit­i­ga­tion saves mon­ey and in­creas­es efficiency.
  • Con­tin­u­ous Compliance
    In­te­grate com­pli­ance seam­less­ly into de­vel­op­ment process­es with­out slow­ing progress.
  • Sup­pli­er in­te­gra­tion into ag­ile practices
    Align sup­pli­ers with ag­ile work­flows for bet­ter co­or­di­na­tion and delivery.

What else do you get?

If you par­tic­i­pate, you will receive:

  • Elec­tron­ic and, if re­quest­ed, print­ed work documents
  • Au­tho­riza­tion to take the cer­ti­fi­ca­tion exam
  • Con­fir­ma­tion of par­tic­i­pa­tion upon request

Target audience, who will benefit from it?

This course is aimed at the fol­low­ing tar­get audience:
  • En­gi­neers (me­chan­i­cal, elec­tri­cal, etc.) who want to ap­ply a Lean-Ag­ile ap­proach to their cur­rent practices.
  • Sys­tem en­gi­neers, prod­uct man­agers and pro­gram man­agers re­spon­si­ble for de­liv­er­ing hard­ware-based solutions.
  • En­gi­neer­ing and de­vel­op­ment man­agers re­spon­si­ble for ag­ile ex­e­cu­tion and coach­ing teams, in­clud­ing team of teams.
  • En­gi­neer­ing lead­ers and man­agers who want to in­tro­duce Lean-Ag­ile prac­tices in their organizations.

Voraussetzungen

Every­one is wel­come to take the course. There are no pre­req­ui­sites. Pre­vi­ous knowl­edge of Ag­ile prac­tices is an ad­van­tage but not required.

SAFe® Certification

Af­ter com­plet­ing the course, par­tic­i­pants take a fi­nal quiz to demon­strate their un­der­stand­ing. A score of 100% is re­quired to pass, but don’t wor­ry — there is no lim­it to re­takes and they are free. If ques­tions are an­swered in­cor­rect­ly, help­ful hints guide par­tic­i­pants to the rel­e­vant con­tent, en­sur­ing you can re­vise your knowl­edge and suc­cess­ful­ly com­plete the test.

Teil­nehmende, die den Test beste­hen erhalten:
  • A SAFe for Hard­ware Ag­ilist (SHWA) cer­tifi­cate that con­firms your knowl­edge of in­te­grat­ing SAFe into hard­ware development.
  • A SAFe for Hard­ware Ag­ilist dig­i­tal badge
  • 1 year membership
  • Ac­cess to a va­ri­ety of learn­ing re­sources to sup­port you in your fur­ther SAFe journey.
