Course Overview
TOPThe AI Empowered Leading SAFe two-day course prepares you to lead a Lean Agile enterprise by combining SAFe principles with AI driven strategies to succeed in increasingly complex environments.
You will develop practical prompting techniques aligned to SAFe Agilist responsibilities and learn how to leverage modern technology to align large-scale organizations and drive successful transformations. The Leading SAFe course delivers hands-on learning and certification grounded in proven Agile principles.
You will also gain guidance and tools to build a culture of resiliency and a shared language that engages employees and focuses on customers so that your organization can work with agility at scale.
