SAFE RELEASE TRAIN ENGINEER TRAINING
Unique to SAFe®, the RTE is part of the trio of leaders, including product managers and system architects. This is critical in leading Agile Release Trains (ARTs) to deliver value. The RTE must create the right environment, have the right conversations, facilitate the right meetings, and gather the right people to make decisions based on the right data.
The Release Train Engineer (RTE) is a servant leader and ART coach who facilitates ART events and processes, and supports teams in delivering value. They communicate with stakeholders, escalate impediments, help manage risk, and drive relentless improvement. Although Agile Release Trains (ARTs) are composed of self-organizing and self-managing teams, these trains cannot drive or steer themselves. That is the responsibility of the RTE, who facilitates most effectively as a servant leader. They have a solid grasp of how to scale Lean and Agile practices and understand the unique opportunities and challenges of aligning and facilitating an ART (team-of-Agile 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!
