Leading SAFe 5.0 – SA Certified Course

Leading SAFe 5.0

Are you a manager, executive, or leader within an organization looking to transition to agile or Scrum? Leading one that’s already transitioning to agile or Scrum? Do you want to know how to best lead your agile teams? Do you want to know how to integrate the work your teams are doing in the agile space with your corporate organization or larger enterprise? Then Leading SAFe 5.0 is for you!

SAFe (the Scaled Agile Framework for Enterprises) provides a framework for better aligning work on teams with business initiatives and goals. For large organizations, SAFe provides a strong link between business initiatives and the work teams do on a daily basis. In smaller organizations, simpler implementations can be used for alignment and in larger organizations being able to coordinate and align the work of multiple teams can produce major benefits.

We’ll also talk about leading an agile organization and how you can help your teams excel and improve. And you will have the opportunity to test for the SAFe Agilist (SA) certification following the course!
