Leading SAFe Agilist (SA)

Dur­ing this two-day course, at­ten­dees will gain the knowl­edge nec­es­sary 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 dis­cuss the five com­pe­ten­cies need­ed to be­come a Lean Enterprise.

They will also learn and prac­tice the skills for sup­port­ing and ex­e­cut­ing PI Plan­ning events, and co­or­di­nat­ing mul­ti­ple Ag­ile Re­lease Trains (ARTs). At­ten­dees 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.

They’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. They will 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). At­tend­ing the class pre­pares in­di­vid­u­als to take the exam and be­come a cer­ti­fied SAFe® Ag­ilist (SA).
