Few companies can survive long without releasing to market quality products and services, cost-effectively and ahead of competition. Increasingly high-value work calls for lean-agile teams, often using the SAFe? framework. This Agile class empowers students to understand lean-agile principles and practices, and readily and effectively collaborate with or integrate in SAFe? teams. Since 2016, enterprises have adopted SAFe? as the No. 1 approach for scaling agile, more than Scrum of Scrums and any other approach.
Experience working in a team or project, in any role.
