What people are saying about Engaged Agility...

I've taken several courses from other training companies, but none of them have been as effective as Engaged Agility, as a matter of fact I will only take SAFe classes from Engaged Agility now.

-Russ (San Antonio, Texas)

Leading SAFe

Take the Leading SAFe course to discover how companies can build business agility, and how to make SAFe work inside your organization. You’ll learn how SAFe helps you improve quality, productivity, employee engagement, and time-to-market. You’ll come away with an understanding of how to align your entire organization around the same clear objectives, and how to improve the flow of value and work from strategy to delivery. You’ll learn what makes companies more customer-centric and how to run key SAFe alignment and planning events, like PI planning.

Materials presented in this 2 day class are the latest from SAI and upon completion you will be registered for the SAFe SA Certification with Engaged Agility certification exam.

The 2-day course, exam, and 1 year of certification license is included in the price of the course.

All of our classes are “Confirmed to Run” so register with confidence!
