With SAFe® 4 Architect Certification
Based on version 4.6 of SAFe

Taught by architects, for architects 

Course Overview

Attendees can improve collaboration and alignment in a SAFe® Lean-Agile enterprise when they become a SAFe 4 Architect. The SAFe® for Architects course prepares System, Solution, and Enterprise Architects to engage across the organization as effective leaders and change agents who collaboratively deliver architectural solutions. During this three-day course, attendees will explore the roles, responsibilities, and mindset of Agile Architects, and appreciate how to align architecture with business value and drive continuous flow to large systems-of-systems while supporting SAFe program execution.

This course is for senior technical contributors who need to understand the role of System, Solution, and Enterprise Architects in Lean-Agile enterprises. The course is also appropriate for individuals desiring a deeper view into how architecture enables continuous value flow and how architects engage in, and contribute to, a Lean-Agile enterprise.

The initial courses in Melbourne and Sydney will be taught by Craig Martin, a thought leader within the enterprise and business design space. Over and above the SAFe training material, Craig will also share a rich set of stories around the use of, and changing landscape of the architecture community, as well as how the disciplines of strategy, architecture, design and agile work together to create true organizational agility. 

Attending the class prepares individuals to take the exam and become a certified SAFe® 4 Architect (ARCH)
