SAFE FOR GOVERNMENT
COURSE DESCRIPTION
More government agencies are adopting Lean-Agile practices to generate better results for stakeholders, including government and military personnel, contractors, and civilians. But how do you overcome legacy governance, contracting, and organizational barriers? How do you adapt private sector success patterns to the government context to deliver value faster?
In the SAFe for Government course, you’ll learn how to apply Lean-Agile and SAFe practices in a government organization so you can deliver projects with speed and quality. Improve collaboration with teams and stakeholders, mitigate risk, and efficiently use taxpayer money.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:

flow-based practices using emerging government guidelines - How to organize government programs into Agile Release Trains (ARTs) and execute in program increments (PIs), even
in remote environments with distributed teams - How to build an action plan to begin or accelerate a SAFe implementation in your program or agency
