The Scaled Agile Academy has the following certificates.

SAFe® or the Scaled Agile Framework solves the fundamental problem of Scrum. Scrum is recommended and effective for small teams. The ideal team size for scrum is nine people, including scrum masters, which makes it difficult to execute large-size projects.

Scaled Agile Framework is for scaling agile to larger enterprise teams. The framework helps you implement the scrum of the scrum and get true value out of your agile implementations.

Ideally, experience or knowledge of scrum is recommended for people who plan to go for scaled Agile framework training. However, it’s not a mandatory criterion. A working understanding of scrum makes it easy to understand the challenges you face in scrum and how you can overcome those using the Scaled Agile Framework.

Enterprises are looking for experts in Lean and Agile. Scrum is a minimal framework, and to achieve the true potential of Agile, an enterprise-level framework is necessary. Currently, a Scaled Agile framework is adopted by service enterprises such as IBM, Wipro, Infosys, Cognizant, and TCS on a bigger scale. Many organisations have enrolled as a gold partner with the scaled agile consortium to lead SAFe implementation.

You can apply for Scrum of Scrum Roles, Enterprise Agile Coach, Scrum Coach, or senior scrum master roles after understanding and learning the SAFe Framework.

SAFe® is a lean, agile framework. The SAFe Portfolio recommends having a lean Portfolio management function which is the highest decision-making body. The people holding this position are aware of the financial position of the enterprise; they understand the risk associated with the various project and allocate the portfolio accordingly. The empowered LPM is very important for the success of scaled agile framework implementation.

Yes, Primarily, SAFe is an enterprise software development framework. Though the founder of SAFe does not put any such limitations, the real use of this framework and little success till now have only been in information systems.

No. The complexity of the SAFe® framework and sophistication cannot be delivered online. It’s a hands-on framework, and a face to face interaction is necessary to understand the framework well.

The SAFe certification will be up for renewal after one year from the first day of your class. Follow these steps to renew your certificate-

• Log on to the Scaled Agile community portal.
• Go to certifications. You will find all your SAFe certifications listed here.
• Click on Leading SAFe certification and proceed with renewal.
• You would need to pay $195 to get your certificate renewed.

As of today, there is no such requirement. The SAFe® Framework keeps regularly updating to cope with the changing business requirements. It is recommended that you go through the updated SAFe Workbook and the SAFe big picture to keep yourself updated.

The SAFe big picture is available for free download on the Scale Agile academy website. Here is the link. – https://www.scaledagileframework.com/

The Scaled Agile Leading SAFe® certificate is quite popular among Scrum and Agile professionals. Since scrum is limited to team-level implementation and it’s a minimal framework, organisations often struggle to keep up with the scalability issues. Among all the frameworks for scaling (LESS, SAFe and Disciplined Agile Delivery), the SAFe® framework is a leading market player with around 60% adoption.

Most tech service companies are operating out of Hyderabad gold or silver partner with the scale Agile Academy. The founders of SAFe are helping companies adopt this framework. Some of the prominent gold partners are Infosys, TCS, IBM, Wipro and Cognizant, among others. The certified SAFe® Agilist is very much in demand for leading the implementation of the Scaled Agile framework.

The Leading SAFe® or the SAFe® Agilist exam is conducted online. It includes 45 multiple-choice questions. You should score 77% to clear the exam. The time allotted is around 90 minutes.

The SAFe® Agilist or Leading SAFe is the first step in the Scaled Agile journey. You can do a SAFe PMPO certification or go for the SAFe® Practice consultant, the certificate for SAFe trainers.

As part of the training program, Scaled Agile offers a single complimentary exam attempt. If you don’t pass the exam on your first try, there is a $50 retake fee for subsequent attempts.. However, we have full confidence in our training approach and offer assurance. If you undertake our practice tests, score 90% or above (you can take multiple attempts), and sit the exam within 20 days of completing your training but don’t succeed, we’ve got your back.

We will cover the retake fee and work together with you to explore how you can enhance your preparation for the next attempt. Hence, we provide financial coverage for one retake, under the condition that it is completed within 20 days post-training and that you score at least 90% on our practice tests.

Yes, we currently offer SAFe® Agilist certification in all major IT hubs of India, including Bangalore, Delhi-NCR, Pune, Chennai, and Hyderabad. Generally, we organise one public workshop of SAFe® Agilist every four weeks.

iZenBridge has regular batches of the Scaled Agile framework in Hyderabad. In fact, we have the maximum number of successful batches in India across all cities. We have achieved a 100% Success rate in all our batches. We also offer a retake assurance which means if you cannot clear the exam on the first attempt, you can take one more chance, and iZenBridge will refund the cost of our second attempt. We have one in thousand candidates who cannot clear on the first attempt.

 Here are a few factors which differentiate us from the other training providers.

• Regular batches – We conduct regular batches of the scaled agile framework with almost zero cancellation, unlike on-the-fly institutes that publish the batch, collect your money and then leave you following up for the batch, which never happens. Scaled Agile Academy has a minimum threshold of 5 participants to conduct a batch, and most providers cannot meet this number. iZenBridge batches are rarely cancelled and postponed.
• Expert trainer – We continuously monitor the quality of training. Our trainers are carefully selected SAFe® Practice consultants who carry the experience of implementing the framework with multiple teams/organisations and share lots of practical experience which takes you beyond the bookish knowledge.
• Online content – Our training is accompanied by video content created to help you understand the Scaled Agile framework. The online content stays with you before and after the class; you can refer to the scaled agile videos anytime you need to refresh your understanding of the scaled agile framework.
• Simulation test – No other provider can offer the simulation tests on the scaled agile framework, thereby risking your chances of clearing the SAFe exam on the first attempt.
• Retake assurance – We are the only provider of Scaled Agile training with a retake assurance; if you are unable to pass your SAFe® Agilist certification exam even after attending our training or taking the online simulation exams of iZenBridge, we offer you a free retake and ensure you have the necessary preparation to clear the certification in the second attempt.

SAFe®, or the scaled Agile framework, is used for Scaling the Agile practices within organisations. It’s a scrum of scrum frameworks to scale agile within multiple teams. The certification proves that you have a practical understanding of the Scaled Agile framework; you would need to attend the leading agile workshop and complete an online exam to get certified as a SAFe practitioner. The certification validates the knowledge of the framework, leadership principles and ability to adapt at lean and SAFe® at the enterprise level.

SAFe provides the necessary scalability that scrum lacks otherwise. Scrum, though a good framework with minimal intervention and self-organisation, provides little clarity on how to implement this on a large-scale, multi-location complex project. The SAFe® Agilist framework solves this fundamental problem of Scrum. SAFe is an enterprise-level Scrum of Scrum Framework for large

Q. What is the SAFe® agile process?

A. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using SAFe® Framework –

Scaled Agile Framework®

The Scaled Agile Framework promotes three levels of organisations –

• Portfolio Level – The portfolio level is the leadership team that defines the vision for the organisation, makes investment decisions, and provides direction to the organisation.
• Program Level – Program-level leadership is meant to take care of the specific value stream inside your business. The program level breaks the value stream into smaller features to create a program backlog.
• Team Level – The team-level leadership breaks the program backlog further to create stories. Scrum is followed here to complete the product backlog. The complete stories would further integrate into the upward stream to create a program-level and portfolio-level integration.

SPC4 is the certification for SAFe® Practice consultants. After earning this certification, you can conduct public and corporate batches of the Scaled Agile framework. You can also lead to the safe implementation of the portfolio and program level.

SPC stands for SAFe® Practice consultant; It’s a five days hands-on workshop where you master the Scaled Agile framework. You can lead the implementation, train people on a SAFe® framework or become an enterprise-level Agile leader after completing this Course.

The four Core Values of alignment, built-in quality, transparency, and program execution represent the fundamental beliefs that are key to SAFe’s effectiveness. These guiding principles help dictate behaviour and action for everyone participating in a SAFe portfolio.

Enterprise agility is the organisation’s capability to respond to change and adapt to evolving market conditions. In an agile enterprise, the decision-making is decentralised; information flows down faster, and there is less stress on hierarchy, reporting structure, etc. Kanban, Scrum or other agile frameworks are followed at the team level to improve productivity and delivery; overall, the organisation is lean and responsive to change.
