SAFE FOR ARCHITECTS TRAINING

Attendees can improve collaboration and alignment in a SAFe Lean-Agile enterprise when they become a SAFe Architect. The SAFe for Architects training course prepares System, Solution, and Enterprise Architects to engage across the organization as effective leaders and change agents who collaboratively deliver architectural solutions.

In SAFe, architects play a key role in the trio of leaders, including product managers and the Release Train Engineer. These people work together to deliver and guide Agile Release Trains (ARTs) to enable continuous value flow.

In the SAFe for Architects course, you’ll get the context to align architecture with business value. You’ll understand how system, solution, and enterprise architects collaboratively deliver architectural solutions. And you’ll get the guidance and tools you need to work effectively in remote environments with distributed teams.

The class instructor has deep experience leading multiple SAFe Lean-Agile transformations. He will share case studies, situational advice, and practical application recommendations throughout the course.

Agile Authority instructors will always deliver the latest version of the SAFe course to ensure you have the latest knowledge from Scaled Agile!
