JIra Align

Essential SAFe revolves around delivering value by implementing Features within Program Increments (PIs). The 3 major activities relative to a PI surround a PI Planning event: Preparing for PI Planning, PI Planning event itself, and managing the execution of the PI. Without tool support, performing these activities can be a daunting task. Jira Align is the premier tool for supporting all levels of SAFe and provides support for all 3 of these activities. To that end we are making available to you 3 webinars that will demonstrate how Jira Align facilitates Pre-PI Planning, PI Planning, and PI Execution.
Session 3 – During the third session we will demonstrate how Jira Align supports managing the execution of the PI:
•The Program Room – dashboard to manage the program and teams
•The Program Board and Dependency Maps – tools to identify planning issues and managing dependencies
•The Work Tree – a full hierarchical view of the work and progress
•Various additional reports to check the progress of the work
•Clean Up Report can facilitate cleaning up the PI in preparation for the next one.
These sessions should provide you with a sneak peek at some of the things Jira Align can offer at the Essential SAFe level.

A few years ago, IBM introduced the concept of Global Configuration Management (GCM) to its Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) suite of integrated tools. This was a game changer for requirements management. It was not only possible to put requirements under configuration management, but it was possible to save collections of corresponding requirement, test, workflow, source, and model artifacts in a single configuration.
During this presentation we will build the case for component-based requirements management, illustrate Global Configuration Management concepts, and focus on various Component Usage Patterns within the context of GCM 7.0.2 and IBM’s Engineering Lifecycle (ELM) suite of tools.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

Business agility requires Lean-thinking people and agile teams throughout the enterprise but extending SAFe into areas beyond IT can be challenging. Based on recent research conducted by Scaled Agile, this session will reveal field-tested techniques for gaining buy-in and participation from Finance, HR, Marketing, Operations, and other major business functions.

Don't miss this opportunity to hear how others are cultivating SAFe beyond IT and building real business agility!
