Thriving in the digital age with Business Agility
During this two-day, Leading SAFe course, attendees gain the knowledge necessary to lead a Lean-Agile enterprise and become a SAFe Agilist by using the Scaled Agile Framework®(SAFe) and its underlying principles derived from Lean, systems thinking, Agile development, product development flow, and DevOps.
Participants in the class gain insights into mastering business agility to thrive in competitive markets. They discuss how Scaled Agilists’ establish team and technical agility and organise and re-organise around the flow of value. Attendees also learn and practice the skills to support and execute PI Planning events and coordinate multiple Agile Release Trains (ARTs). Class participants will explore the importance of adopting a customer-centric mindset and Design-Thinking approach to Agile Product Delivery. Learners will also understand how to implement a Lean Portfolio Management function within their enterprise.
After the successful completion of this course, participants will be eligible to sit the Scaled Agilist certification exam and receive SAFe agile certification. Attaining a Scaled Agile certification demonstrates an understanding of the principles that underpin the successful application of agile at scale, and knowledge of the practices their enterprise should adopt in order to achieve Business Agility.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions in Australia all Pretty Agile Leading SAFe classes are being delivered live online. You can learn about our approach to remote SAFe training here.
