Scaled Agile Framework

How do introverts handle PI Planning? Surely a big noisy room, full of people, is absolute hell from them? Which led me to ask myself the question; as an introvert how do I survive PI Planning; and I’ve survived 15 years of planning events, mostly unscathed.

Throughout the learning path, participants will engage in blended learning that combines self-paced, facilitated, and peer-to-peer learning to progressively build and validate their skills. The certification path culminates with the Learning Lab, a half-day facilitated session that offers scenario-based assessments that cumulatively evaluate participants’ mastery of key concepts. Learners are awarded the Advanced SPC certification upon completing all modules in the ASPC certification path.

Free Lean Portfolio Management Webinar Series! We’re excited to announce a new, completely free upcoming webinar series to help guide you through the pitfalls inherent in running a Lean Portfolio.

Many organisations developing hardware-dependent solutions face unique challenges when adopting Lean-Agile practices. The gap between traditional engineering processes and modern agile methodologies can seem overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. SAFe for Hardware is a comprehensive two-day course (three-day remote) designed to bridge that gap. It enables organisations to seamlessly integrate SAFe principles into hardware development, accelerating delivery and maintaining flexibility, all while navigating the complexities of large system designs.

The second in a pair of blogs that deep dive into Slicing Features. This blog looks at how the slicing patterns can be utilised in practice to break down large endeavours.

Stories, or User Stories, are a common way to express each backlog item for a single team to complete within one Iteration or Sprint. Lots has been written over the years about how to write good stories; so why are so many stories still bad? In this webinar we describe where the user story concept came from, the true purpose of stories and explain ways that teams can avoid falling into the trap of doing work rather than delivering value. We describe how in SAFe the purpose of stories can be different to other agile development practices, since SAFe describes a Feature as being a releasable item, not an individual story. And we explain strategies to slice a SAFe Feature into stories.

A single backlog of work shared by many people focuses and aligns their work towards the most important work items. In SAFe, an ART Backlog of Features is used to align the work of multiple teams in the ART to the most important work items. However there are many pitfalls that must be avoided when writing Features for the ART backlog. Bad Features will result in poor work throughput, unaligned and disempowered teams. In this webinar we describe some of the strategies you can follow when writing Features to encourage agility as well as improve productivity.
