Training description

 

The Leading SAFe® training and subsequent SAFe Agilist certification demonstrate how an organization can be future-proofed. The Scaled Agile Framework includes principles, best practices, and roles – it's a "toolbox" with guidance for an efficient and robust corporate organization. SAFe creates the framework for engaging all employees and putting the customer at the center.

In the Leading SAFe® training, we demonstrate how the entire company can be aligned around clear goals and how the flow of value and work from strategy to implementation can be improved. You'll learn what makes companies even more customer-centric and how to conduct PI Planning effectively.

  • Prioritization – scheduling the right topics at the right time

  • Reliable capacity and resource planning

  • Consistent, predictable delivery of results

  • Transparency and realistic planning through stakeholder involvement

Become a certified SAFe 6.0 Agilist and successfully lead your company through agile transformation.
