• Improve work predictability (providing better answers to "When will it be done?").
• Manage flow metrics (throughput, lead time, work in progress, work item age).
• Use flow charts (Cumulative Flow Diagram, Lead Time Histogram, Work Aging Chart).
• Utilize statistical forecasting methods, such as Monte Carlo simulations and Service Level Agreement.
• Design a Kanban System in a methodological way (STATIK).
• Understand Little's Law, which describes the nature of value flow.

This two-day program is crafted to empower teams within an Agile Release Train (ART) to thrive in an Agile setting by leveraging frameworks like Scrum, Kanban, and XP. Participants will master the art of functioning as Agile teams, effectively creating and managing backlogs, and successfully planning and executing iterations. The curriculum also highlights the importance of understanding each team’s role within the ART, fostering collaboration, strategic planning, execution, and continuous improvement alongside fellow teams.

The training equips teams to actively engage in a Program Increment (PI), addressing both Team-level and Program-level events, with special emphasis on preparing for upcoming PI planning sessions. Upon completing the course, participants will be well-prepared to take the certification exam to become a SAFe® Practitioner (SP).

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
