Lead your organization to embrace Business Agility and Lean thinking
This four-day Implementing SAFe course will teach you how to lead a Lean-Agile transformation by leveraging the practices and principles of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®), as well as the five core competencies of the Lean Enterprise. For those of us already working with Lean/Agile on a daily basis, this program provides you with a deeper understanding of its principles and practices.
You will also gain insights and practice how to coach programs, launch Agile Release Trains, build a Continuous Delivery Pipeline with DevOps culture, and build a Lean Portfolio.
The first two days of the course—Leading SAFe®—are all about the basics you need to teach SAFe to leaders. The final two days focus exclusively on what it takes to successfully implement SAFe in your organization. After taking the SAFe 6.0 Practice Consultant Exam, you’ll certify as a SAFe® 6.0 Practice Consultant (SPC).
Good examples from operational practice, which helped a lot in understanding SAFe.
SPC Exam & certification
When you pass the Implementing SAFe exam, you’ll receive a SAFe® SAFe Practice Consultant (SPC6) certificate, with a digital badge to promote your accomplishment online. A one-year certified membership as a SAFe Practice Consultant is also included, granting you access to the SPC Community of Practice. Furthermore, we’ll provide you with a SAFe Practice Consultant certification usage guide with SPC certification marks.
