Get a comprehensive overview of SAFe, the leading framework for Business Agility, and learn how to start applying it when the focus in your organization is on hardware.
What is SAFe for Hardware (HW)
Many organizations developing hardware-reliant solutions face unique challenges when attempting to adopt Lean-Agile practices. The gap between traditional engineering processes and modern agile methodologies can seem overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.
The SAFe for Hardware certification course is a comprehensive two-day course designed
to expedite the seamless integration of SAFe principles into hardware development, accelerate delivery, and maintain flexibility while navigating the complexities of large system designs.
This course is the official SAFe course and is delivered by certified trainers. The SAFe for Hardware (HW) certification exam is included in the course. The cost of the exam is part of the course price. You will take this online exam at a time and place of your own choice, but within 30 days of the course. In the Scaled Agile online learning environment, you will have access to an e-learning prior to attending the course and to the digital workbook that accompanies the course. You can also use this environment to take a practice test (mock exam). If this is your first SAFe training, a one-year membership to SAFe Studio is included. Through SAFe Studio, you have access to e-learnings, videos, discussion forums, toolkits, templates and SAFe Copilot. We always use the latest training materials from Scaled Agile.
