The training

The Agile Release Train (ART) - a self-organizing, self-managing team of Agile teams (known as a "team of teams") - works together to deliver a continuous stream of value to the customer.

During our three-day SAFe for Architects (ARCH) training, participants learn to think beyond their ART and actively engage as effective leaders and change agents throughout the organization. During these three days, we will go into:

  • Theory of Lean-Agile architecture

  • Architecture for DevOps and Release on Demand

  • Developing Solution Vision, Solution Intent and Roadmaps

  • Prepare & coordinate architecture for Planning Increment (PI)

  • Support of Continuous Delivery during PI execution

  • Support of new strategic themes and Value Streams

  • How to lead as an Architect during a Lean-Agile transformation

Content was clear and understandable, Trainer was excellent with a lot of practical knowledge.
