SAFe® DevOps

This two-day course provides an overview of the DevOps skills necessary to accelerate time-to-market by improving the value flow through the continuous delivery pipeline. Participants will map the current value flow through their delivery channel, from the initial idea to its implementation, and identify practices that eliminate bottlenecks in the flow. 

The course will provide an understanding of the complete value flow, from Continuous Exploration to Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment, and Release on Demand. Participants will explore SAFe^®’s CALMR (Culture, Automation, Lean Flow, Measurement, Recovery) approach to DevOps, which helps to create a culture of shared responsibility across the entire solution delivery spectrum. It helps to align people, processes, and technology across the organization to achieve faster time-to-market. 

Participants will leave with the tools they need to execute an implementation plan to improve their delivery channel, as well as the knowledge required to support it. The course also prepares participants for the SAFe® DevOps Practitioner (SDP) certification exam. 

 

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: 

• Explain how DevOps enables the achievement of strategic business objectives.
• Apply a CALMR approach to DevOps to avoid automating broken processes.
• Understand that DevOps success requires continuous exploration, continuous integration, continuous deployment, and the ability to release end users on demand.
• Incorporate continuous testing and security into the delivery pipeline.
• Use value stream mapping to measure the flow and identify bottlenecks in the end-to-end delivery process.
• Select DevOps skills and tools strategically to achieve the fastest and most compelling results.
