• Understand Little's Law, which describes the nature of value flow.

Designed as a two-day programme, this course equips teams operating within an Agile Release Train (ART) to function effectively in an Agile environment by leveraging frameworks like Scrum, Kanban, and XP. Participants will gain insights into working as Agile teams, managing backlogs, and successfully planning and executing iterations. A key focus is placed on understanding the team’s position within the ART and learning how to collaborate, plan, execute, and drive continuous improvement alongside fellow teams.

This training prepares teams to engage in Program Increments (PI), addressing both Team-level and Program-level events, with special emphasis on PI planning sessions. Completing the course also readies participants for the certification exam to achieve the SAFe® Practitioner (SP) credential.

Upon concluding the course, participants will be able to:

• Implement SAFe principles to scale Lean and Agile practices throughout the organisation.
• Comprehend their team’s role within the Agile Release Train and its contribution to broader objectives.
• Identify other teams within the train, understanding their roles and interdependencies.
• Plan and execute iterations with efficiency.
• Showcase delivered value and pursue ongoing process improvement.
• Take part in and actively contribute to Program Increment planning.
• Collaborate and integrate work seamlessly with other teams in the Agile Release Train.
