|| UNOFFICIAL COURSE ||

IMPORTANT Before Enrolling:

This course is not intended to replace studying any official vendor material for certification exams, is not endorsed by the certification vendor, and you will not be getting the official certification study material or a voucher as a part of this course.

This course provides a deep dive into the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) and the critical role of a SAFe Program Consultant (SPC) in leading agile transformations. Designed for professionals looking to gain expertise in SAFe practices, this course covers the foundational principles, framework configurations, and implementation strategies necessary for scaling Agile across large enterprises.

The course begins with an introduction to SAFe, outlining its origins, evolution, and why it has become the leading framework for scaling Agile methodologies. Participants will gain insight into the SPC role, exploring the responsibilities, strategic influence, and value SPCs bring to organizations undergoing agile transformations.

A strong emphasis is placed on Lean-Agile thinking, where learners will explore the Lean-Agile mindset, core Lean principles, and the Agile Manifesto’s relevance to SAFe. These foundational concepts set the stage for understanding how Agile methodologies align with enterprise-wide business objectives.

Participants will take a deep dive into the SAFe framework, covering its various configurations—Essential SAFe, Large Solution SAFe, Portfolio SAFe, and Full SAFe. This section highlights the core values and principles of SAFe, the House of Lean, and the essential components that enable large-scale agility. A detailed look at Agile teams and Agile Release Trains (ARTs) will provide learners with an understanding of how value is delivered through synchronization and alignment across teams.

The course also explores the SPC’s role in leading and sustaining transformations. Learners will be introduced to the SPC certification process, the benefits of becoming an SPC, and the key responsibilities required to guide organizations through agile adoption. This section delves into strategies for coaching and mentoring leaders and teams, fostering a Lean-Agile culture, and overcoming resistance to change.

A critical component of the course is the SAFe implementation roadmap, which walks learners through the steps required to prepare for and execute a SAFe transformation. Topics include assessing organizational readiness, defining a transformation strategy, designing an implementation roadmap, and effectively communicating change to stakeholders. The course highlights leadership qualities necessary for guiding large-scale change initiatives and maintaining strategic alignment.

As Agile adoption scales across enterprises, understanding team dynamics, Agile Release Trains, and the roles of Scrum Masters and Product Owners becomes essential. This course provides insights into these roles within the SAFe framework, ensuring learners understand how leadership and collaboration foster high-performing teams.

Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) is another key focus area, where learners will explore how SAFe aligns business strategy with execution. The course covers investment funding, governance, and portfolio-level agility, along with key performance indicators and metrics to measure the success of Agile transformations. Innovation and value stream management are also discussed, providing insights into sustaining agility in a rapidly evolving business environment.

The final section of the course delves into critical SAFe practices such as Agile architecture, DevOps, governance, and risk management. Participants will learn about system thinking, continuous delivery pipelines, and strategies for managing dependencies and synchronization across Agile Release Trains. By understanding these advanced concepts, learners will be well-equipped to drive SAFe transformations in complex organizational structures.

By the end of this course, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of SAFe, the SPC role, and the skills necessary to lead Agile transformations at scale.

Whether preparing for SPC certification or looking to enhance Agile expertise, this course provides the theoretical foundation and strategic insights needed to drive enterprise agility and business success.
