SAFe training courses at Capgemini Academy

Capgemini Academy offers multiple SAFe training courses to beginners, advanced skill levels and to experts. 

SAFe is closely related to the idea behind Agile working. At Capgemini Academy, SAFe training courses are thus part of the course offering in Agile working. 

Why is SAFe so important?

The SAFe framework, used by hundreds of organizations globally, helps scale Agile to the entire organization. This framework provides clear and flexible steps for managing large-scale and complex projects, which can be applied across the entire organization.  

Business Agility is the capacity of an organization to respond effectively to rapidly changing market conditions. SAFe facilitates this Agility, enabling organizations to deliver value to their customers efficiently while ensuring appropriate quality. 

What is the role of a SAFe expert in an organization?

A SAFe expert plays a crucial role in implementing and optimizing the SAFe framework. SAFe experts ensure that SAFe principles are applied effectively to improve collaboration and efficiency. They do this by coaching teams, analyzing processes and leading improvement processes, among other things.

In addition, SAFe experts are responsible for identifying bottlenecks in organizations, implementing solutions to these and encouraging a culture of continuous learning and improvement within the organization. 

Why take a SAFe training course?

Taking a SAFe training course is the best way to become a SAFe expert. You learn to understand and apply the theory within your own organization.

Each SAFe training course includes an exam for the corresponding official certification. Because of its global recognition, this certificate is a valuable addition to your CV. And of course, such training is a fine investment in your personal development.

Our SAFe trainers

Our trainers are specialists in their profession. They are fully certified and generally work as SAFe experts at various organizations. They love nothing more than sharing their knowledge, experience and enthusiasm with you and can link theory to practice like no other. May we introduce:

SAFe certification

All training courses are official SAFe training courses and are given by certified trainers. We always use the latest Scaled Agile training material and each training course includes the corresponding SAFe exam. You take this online exam at a place and time that you choose, but within 30 days of the training. 

Prior to the training course, you will be given access to an e-learning course and to the digital workbook that accompanies the training via Scaled Agile’s online learning environment. You can also take a sample exam using that environment. If this is your first SAFe training, one year of SAFe Studio membership is included. At SAFe Studio, you can access e-learning courses, videos, discussion forums, toolkits and templates. 

SAFe in depth

SAFe is based on seven core competences: 

• Lean-Agile leadership: Support and reinforcement of Lean-Agile principles. 

• Team and technical Agility: Collaborating teams with technical best practices. 

• Agile product delivery: Efficient, customer-focused product delivery. 

• Enterprise solution delivery: Scaling up Agile working methods for complex systems. 

• Lean portfolio management: Coordination of investments and initiatives. 

• Organizational Agility: Flexible business structures and processes. 

• Continuous learning culture: Encourage continuous improvement and learning. 

These core competences include a common language and set of principles, among other things. The common language ensures that all team members use the same terminology and concepts, which improves communication and collaboration.  

The SAFe principles, inspired by Agile and Lean thinking, guide decisions and actions within the organization, help teams remain agile and flexible, and foster a culture of continuous improvement. 

Finally: The Scaled Agile Framework itself is subject to a process of continuous improvement.  

Customized SAFe training courses for organizations

The SAFe framework works best when the entire organization believes in it and acts accordingly. If you want to implement your processes using SAFe, we recommend training several employees. At Capgemini Academy, we can offer a customized program for (part of) your organization.
