Facilitating Lean-Agile Program Execution
Facilitate and enable end-to-end value delivery through Agile Release Trains (ARTs)—and learn how to build a high-performing ART by becoming a servant leader and coach—when you become a SAFe Release Train Engineer and earn your SAFe RTE certification.
During this three-day SAFe Release Train Engineer certification course, gain an in-depth understanding of the role and responsibilities of an RTE in the SAFe enterprise. Through experiential learning, examine the RTE role in a Lean- Agile transformation. Learn how to facilitate ART processes and execution, coach leaders, teams, and Scrum Masters in new processes and mindsets. Explore how to prepare, plan, and execute a Program Increment (PI) planning event, the primary enabler of alignment throughout all levels of a SAFe organisation.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions in Australia all Pretty Agile SAFe Release Train Engineer classes are being delivered live online. You can learn about our approach to remote SAFe training here.
