SAFe® for Teams classes are often delivered by industry leaders who will tell you that the instructor you choose to deliver your class makes a huge difference, especially when you start your digital transformation. In my role as SPCT, I have implemented the Scaled Agile Framework, launched Agile Release Trains (ARTs), and built high-performing agile teams, with proven success in overcoming transformation challenges. There have been many developers I have coached along their journey to understand what a successful Lean-Agile development looks like and what pitfalls to avoid along the way. My goal is to provide you with a meaningful understanding of SAFe, bringing my experiences and real-world examples to the class, and I also welcome you to share and analyze your own unique context as well.
As a member of an Agile team, you need to possess the tactical skills necessary to be a high-performance employee. In this two-day course, I will provide you with a detailed understanding of the ART and how it delivers value, as well as how you can use Scrum, Kanban, and Extreme Programming (XP) to perform effectively in this role.
