Learn the Scaled Agile Framework, a way to scale Agile ways of working in large organizations.
SAFe® stands for Scaled Agile Framework and is a proven method of handling the challenges that many major Agile implementations face. In the Leading SAFe® course, you’ll learn how to organize programs in “Agile Release Trains” based on your company’s value streams, which together make up your core business.
You will learn about SAFe® by experiencing how many interdependent teams work together in an Agile Release Train to solve a common and ongoing task – focusing on planning at different levels. The review of the theory is based on practical examples and a joint assignment. This course prepares you to be a driving force in working Agile in major programs and in large, complex organizations.
