Cognixia’s Leading SAFe 6.0 with Certified SAFe Agilist online training and certification course is one of the best SAFe training courses that you can enroll in to be a Certified SAFe Agilist professional.
SAFe® 6.0 or the Scaled Agile Framework 6.0 is a knowledge base of proven, integrated principles, practices, and competencies for achieving business agility using Lean, Agile, and DevOps. It is built around the Seven Core Competencies of Business Agility that are critical to achieving and sustaining a competitive advantage in an increasingly digital age. SAFe 6.0 was released in March 2023, as an upgrade over the previous version – SAFe 5.1. The new upgrade builds on the principles of the previous version to keep relevant and useful in a post-pandemic world.
SAFe 6.0 has six primary themes:
- Strengthening the foundation of business agility
- Empowering teams and clarifying responsibilities
- Accelerating value flow
- Enhancing business agility with SAFe across the business
- Building the future with AI, Big Data, and Cloud
- Delivering better outcomes with measure & grow and OKRs
SAFe is a guide to aligning agile development throughout an organization. Most organizations focus their agile development efforts at the team level, first starting with a pilot team, and later transitioning individual times one at a time. Unfortunately, this method fails to fully integrate each team’s efforts with the larger stakeholder needs. This SAFe training gives you proven techniques to align these teams to work at the larger program level and ultimately align multiple programs that maximize stakeholder value.
This SAFe Agilist certification course discusses how to successfully scale Agile principles across the organization by utilizing Lean thinking practices and product development flow techniques. Through lean software development and product development flow, learners will explore how to create programs, called Agile Release Trains where groups of agile teams work together to optimize quality and velocity to deliver greater value for their stakeholders.
This SAFe certification is a must-have for executives, project managers, leaders, quality assurance professionals, and enterprise and solution architects who seek to advance their careers. The SAFe training helps learners prepare to take the SAFe Agilist certification examination while helping them improve communication and focus through agile implementation. It begins by discussing how to lead an enterprise agile transformation and how to apply lean thinking techniques to team, program, & portfolio levels. It goes on to explore how lean, agile, and product development flow principles can be used to improve productivity, employee engagement, time-to-market, and quality. It empowers learners to infuse agile in their organizations, beyond just the IT functions, while aligning the efforts of agile and non-agile teams to create great stakeholder value. With this SAFe online course, learners would imbibe capabilities to collaborate across all layers of the organization enabling them to deliver cross-functional projects and tasks effectively.
Cognixia’s SAFe Agilist certification course is highly recommended for all members of an agile team including but not limited to change agents, program managers, agile coaches, project managers, and anyone who is currently or aspiring to lead a SAFe implementation.
By the end of this course, participants will have the leadership toolkit to shape and steer GenAI portfolios across their organization.
