Upon successful completion, attendees will be able to describe the popular frameworks that make up SAFe, their origins and how they support each other. Attendees will also be able to describe the various versions of SAFe and the unique practices in each of them. By the end of this course attendees will have a shared vocabulary of SAFe terminology and the confidence to participate in discussions regarding it application.

This course will incorporate hands on activities and discussions. The course is structured but the sequence of topics will largely be driven by the questions and discussions from the attendees.This course is taught by trainers who are qualified in the latest and most effective training techniques.
