Achieving Business Agility with the Scaled Agile Framework
Achieving Business Agility with the Scaled Agile Framework
This training course runs from 09:00 to 17:30 each day.
All times given are in the local timezone for the date of the course.
During this four-day course, attendees will learn how to lead a Lean-Agile transformation by leveraging the practices and principles of the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®) to achieve Business Agility in the Digital Age.
Certifying as a SAFe® 5 Program Consultant (SPC), and becoming a change agent, also enables attendees to train and certify others in a range of SAFe® courses.
The first two days of the course—Leading SAFe®—cover the SAFe Principles, and the Team and Technical Agility, Agile Product Delivery and Lean Portfolio Management core competencies. The final two days focus exclusively on what it takes to successfully implement SAFe in the Enterprise, following the SAFe® Implementation Roadmap.
Attendees practice the steps necessary to bring an organization to the tipping point and how to identify Value Streams and organize Agile Release Trains (ARTs), followed by learning how to successfully prepare, launch, and coach ARTs. The attendees then explore launching more ARTs as part of a Solution Train and how to extend Lean-Agile practices to the Portfolio with Lean Portfolio Management. The course concludes by focusing on the areas needed to accelerate towards Business Agility by establishing Organizational Agility, building a Continuous Learning Culture and identifying improvement opportunities by applying the SAFe assessments.

SAFe Programme Consultant Trainer (SPCT) candidate & principal consultant
Gez has been training people since 2004, with a focus on the government and financial services sectors, but also as an associate lecturer at the University of the West of England. A truly international trainer, he has trained extensively across the USA, Europe, Africa, India and the Middle and Far East. As an iSPCT, he is primarily a SAFe trainer these days, with over 2000 people having started their SAFe journey via one of his courses, but he also particularly enjoys running training for complete beginners in lean and agile. His firm training ethos is that there’s no such thing as a stupid question, and if there’s something someone doesn’t understand, that’s his fault for not explaining it well enough, not their fault for not understanding it.
