What is the Scaled Agile Framework?

The Scaled Agile Framework (or SAFe) is a guide to aligning Agile development throughout an organization. Most organizations focus their Agile development efforts at the team level, first starting with a pilot team and later transitioning individual teams one at a time. Unfortunately, this method fails to fully integrate each team's efforts with the larger stakeholder need. The Scaled Agile Framework gives you proven techniques to align these teams to work at the larger program level, and ultimately how to align multiple programs into a portfolio that maximizes shareholder value.

In this SAFe Certification Course You will learn:

• How to lead an enterprise Agile transformation;
• To apply Lean thinking techniques at the Team, Program and Portfolio levels;
• To apply Lean, Agile and Product Development Flow principles to improve productivity, employee engagement, time to market and quality;
• How to infuse Agile into your entire organization – not just your IT department;

• To encourage collaboration across all the layers of your organization to enable teams to deliver complex cross-functional features in 10-12 week increment;
• To improve the communication and focus of your organization’s Agile implementation;

Upon taking the two-day Scaled Agile Framework Course, you are eligible to complete the SAFe certification exam to earn your SAFe Agilist (SA) certification. The cost of the exam is included in your course tuition.
