Key Takeaways

  • \u25cf SAFe Training: What is it like?

    • \u25cb When you assist with SAFe training, there should be three outcomes:

  • 1. Knowledge of real-life applications, 2. You will hear success and failure stories, and 3. Enthusiasm.

  • \u25cf People who attend training often assume that their trainer is the best in the world and knows everything.

    • \u25cb When people come together, they all learn from each other; the trainer learns from the class, and the participants learn from each other.

  • \u25cf What can a Product Owner expect from a SAFe class?

    • \u25cb The Product Owner changes its value according to which one has it.

    • \u25cb If a Product Owner attends a POPM class, they will leave the class knowing how to understand the market. The Product Owner will know the market's strengths, the competitors' strengths, threats, opportunities, and weaknesses (SWOT).

    • \u25cb We empower Product Owners to understand the market.

    • \u25cb It is a psychologically safe environment where Product Owners can learn.

  • \u25cf SAFe Advanced Scrum Master Class:

    • \u25cb This class trains and empowers Scrum Masters to be a master in the market and with their clients, implement change within an enterprise, and collaborate with others at program and team levels.

  • \u25cf Tools a SAFe Scrum Master would learn differently from the tools acquired at a Team Level.

    • \u25cb SAFe Scrum Master can influence change in an organization.

    • \u25cb RTE cannot be with the Teams at all times, coaching Product Owners and stakeholders to devise a plan of intent that is reasonable, delivers incremental value, does not constitute a risk, handles the technical data, and dictates what will not be done.

    • \u25cb PR planning needs the Scrum Master\u2019s help (especially in large organizations).

  • \u25cf Leading SAFe:

    • \u25cb When attendees leave the class, they should be able to influence their Teams to do backlog refinement by understanding the definition and estimates of the backlog.

    • \u25cb All SAFe classes include PI planning scenarios with them; they go from training to workshop.

  • \u25cf Virtual classes:

    • \u25cb Everyone with internet service and a computer should be able to receive the class.

    • \u25cb Interaction between colleagues during classes is an excellent source of learning.

    • \u25cb Come hungry and open-hearted to the classes. A closed mouth is not fed.
