    Why?

    Organizations today have to navigate in the most dynamic, volatile and uncertain environments and often this requires "building the aircraft while its in flight". If you're interested in understanding the personal and organizational patterns, behaviors, practices and techniques to better navigate the current situational context, then you must attend this course.

    Building Planes in the Sky

    What?

    This two-day course will provide you with an understanding of Lean, Agile and product development flow principles, practices, techniques and behaviors that make up the proven success patterns of the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®). During this class you will be orientated to the approach applied by >60% of the Fortune 100 companies and gain the knowledge necessary to help lead the adoption of SAFe and leverage the proven benefits of agility at enterprise scale.

    Why Aspire?

    We’re an APMG accredited training and consulting organization that has a 100% success rating in our professional training courses (only one in North America). We’re a SAFe Gold Partner with a strong reputation for adding high value to the enterprise in short increments of work. The course qualifies for PMI and SEI PDUs for those seeking to maintain existing professional credentials.

    Our seasoned experts that help organizations in the field are the people that lead the training – we find this drives a progressive dialogue in the course and affords the benefits of the latest practices, techniques and results being available to share with participants.

    Simplicity and integrity. No early bird pricing gimmicks – just a low cost, low commitment, high value offering for those serious about adopting better ways of working in this conceptual era.

    We apply SAFe to both business and software development constructs.

    Aspire's Managing Director will be one of the instructors on the course - an industry expert, keynote speaker and published author in the domain.

    Who?

    The following individuals will benefit from this course:

    • Executives and Leaders, Managers, Directors, CIOs, and VPs

    • Development, QA and Infrastructure Management

    • Program and Project Managers

    • Product and Product Line Management

    • Portfolio Managers, PMO, and Process Leads

    • Enterprise, System and Solution Architects

    Finally, whilst the benefits around delivery predictability, improved time to market, better quality, higher engagement and higher productivity are proven in many publicly revealed case studies, we find that many people are skeptical of the significant results boasted. To help understand how such game changing results are yielded, take a look at this video which illustrates how to achieve 4x faster 'flow' of work by actually making bottle necks smaller. This is an illustration of one of the many underlying principles that form SAFe.

    See you at the course!
