Leading SAFe

Has your organization already taken its first steps towards an Agile organization, for example with Scrum teams? Are you part of such an Agile team or do you have to deal with them, as a client, project manager, architect, service manager or from another role? And do you still see room for improvement in the cooperation between the different Agile teams, for:

• Realizing program objectives and associated benefits such as Business Agility
• Managing dependencies between the team backlogs
• Structuring release management
• Better integration of team goals with strategic portfolio choices
• The connection of Enterprise Architecture with the principles of the Agile teams

Do you want to enable your organization to achieve the above benefits by applying principles and tools from Agile, Lean and Development Flow?

If you answered any of these questions positively, then sign up for the two-day Leading SAFe® training. SAFe® is a proven framework for applying Lean and Agile principles within medium to large organizations.
