Leading SAFe

Scrum is currently the most commonly used agile approach in software development. Scrum deals primarily with the team process. But what if you want to scale up the Agile concept to the program or portfolio level? The Scaled Agile Framework®, or SAFe®, is the answer! Many organizations already work with successful scrum teams. These teams are able to do even more when the rest of the organization works with the same level of agility. Success can be achieved if the whole supply chain is optimized in an agile way and the Value Stream as a whole is coordinated. The Leading SAFe training course helps in this respect.

Why this Leading SAFe training?
