SAFe® for Teams


  • Traditional Classroom: 2-day
  • Virtual Instructor-led: Four 3-hour sessions

Build the skills needed to become a high-performing team member of an agile release train (ART) — and learn how to collaborate with other teams — by becoming a SAFe® 4 Practitioner (SP). During this two-day course attendees will gain an in-depth understanding of the ART, how it delivers value, and what they can do to effectively perform their role using Scrum, Kanban, and XP.

Participants will also learn how to write stories and break down features, plan and execute iterations, and plan Program Increments. Finally, they’ll learn about the continuous delivery pipeline and DevOps culture, how to effectively integrate with other teams in the program, and what it takes to continuously improve the train.

Attending this class prepares participants to take the certified SAFe® Practitioner (SP) exam.
