This course covers the Lean-Agile Principles and practices of Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). You'll learn how to execute and release value through Agile Release Trains, and how to lead a Lean-Agile enterprise.
Many organizations are trying to increase their internal speed and flexibility by shedding bureaucratic governance models and structures. Agile principles have proven particularly effective for software development at a team level, but can they do the same at the program or organizational level?
