Scale Agile Across Multiple Teams or the Enterprise

Most organizations are complex systems that require collaboration and coordination across multiple delivery teams. This three - day class will show you how to do it well. Additionally, when other areas of your company are not leveraging Agile, the ability to skyrocket results becomes a daunting task. You will learn how to handle these hurdles in this class. The SAFe framework, developed by Dean Leffingwell, outlines an approach to help organizations harness the power of Agile across delivery teams and your full organization.
