Introduction
Enabling Release on Demand for the SAFe® Lean Enterprise
Foundational SAFe Course
To compete in a disruptive global market, every organization needs to deliver valuable technology solutions at the speed of business. This requires a shared DevOps mindset among all the people needed to define, build, test, deploy, and release software-driven systems — not just the engineers operating a CI/CD pipeline.
This two-day course provides a comprehensive overview for understanding the DevOps skills needed to accelerate time-to-market by improving the flow of value through the Continuous Delivery Pipeline. You will map the current value stream through the delivery pipeline from idea to cash, and identify practices that will eliminate bottlenecks to flow. The course will build an understanding of the complete flow of value from Continuous Exploration to Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment, and Release on Demand.
Attendees will leave with the knowledge they need to support and enable a successful DevOps initiative at scale. Attending the class prepares individuals to take the exam and become a certified SAFe DevOps Practitioner (SDP).
