Description

Thriving in the digital age with Business Agility

Unique to SAFe®, the Release Train Engineer (RTE) is part of the trio of leaders that includes product managers and system architects. This plays a critical role in leading Agile Release Trains (ARTs) to deliver value. This means that the RTE must create the right environment, have the right conversations, facilitate the right meetings, and gather the right people to make decisions based on the right data.

In the SAFe® RTE course, you’ll learn to execute SAFe and continuously improve PI Planning and other key SAFe events. You’ll discover how to coach leaders, teams, and Scrum Masters in new processes and mindsets. And you’ll get the guidance and tools you need to work effectively in remote environments with distributed teams.

Leading SAFe® answers the questions:

• How do I plan for and execute a PI?
• How do I create an environment of relentless improvement?
• How do I lead and serve my ART?

Attendees learn:

• How to lead programs and large solutions in a SAFe organization.
• How to apply Lean-Agile knowledge and tools to release value.
• How to foster relentless improvement.
• How to build a high-performing ART by becoming a servant leader and coach.
