Implementing SAFe offers attendees the broadest level of insight into each layer of a SAFe implementation. This course is for those who want to be a leader in a Lean-Agile transformation.
This course and resulting certification will help you understand the roles of each person in a SAFe organisation and then plan and guide a SAFe transformation.
During this course, you will learn how to identify value streams, launch agile release trains, optimise flow, and apply OKRs to Strategic Themes that define the targeted outcomes for the SAFe transformation. You will also practice the principles of Agile product management and product delivery.

Mark Richards has been involved with the SAFe Framework since 2012 when he coached Australia’s first Scaled Agile implementation at Telstra. In 2013 he made major contributions to the framework which led him to being named the world’s first SAFe Program Consultant Trainer (SPCT) outside of Scaled Agile Inc. and he is one of only 13 SAFe Fellows in the world. Dean Leffingwell, creator of SAFe and Chief Methodologist explains “If we are in a challenging situation—whether puzzling over the next generation framework or struggling to optimise a SAFe implementation—the Fellows are the folks we turn to.”
