The discipline of software engineering has evolved with the introduction of Lean-Agile and DevOps principles and practices. New skills and approaches help organizations deliver software-centric solutions faster, more predictably, and with higher quality.

This course teaches experienced IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS users the basic principles of writing and applying DXL extension language to customize DOORS.

Attendees gain an understanding of the Lean-Agile mindset and why it’s an essential foundation for transformation. They’ll also get practical advice on building high performing, multi-vendor Agile teams and programs, managing technology investments in Lean flow, acquiring solutions with Agile contracting, launching the program, and planning and delivering value using SAFe. Attendees will learn how specific leadership behaviors can drive successful organizational change in government.

We tout the business results of applying SAFe and learn the principles from great sources like Don Reinertsen’s book, The Principles of Product Development Flow. But how can we connect the dots from the economics to the practices we want to apply and the decisions we need to make? In this workshop we use scenarios, in story problem format, and apply real numbers to demonstrate the value of the principles in action.

During this one-day workshop, you will be guided through planning, preparation, and execution of a three-part Inspect and Adapt event: PI System Demo, Quantitative Assessment, and Problem Solving Workshop.

This course teaches the Lean-Agile Principles and practices of SAFe 5. You’ll learn how to execute and release value through Agile Release Trains, how to build an Agile Portfolio, and how to lead a Lean-Agile enterprise.

While agile practices have become common place for small software teams, they are rapidly being adopted by large, engineered systems. This course teaches leadership roles at all levels their responsibility in supporting and leading lean-agile adoption.

The SAFe ART Quickstart reduces lead-time by quickly getting the ART launched and into executing and learning. The Quickstart consists of three parts: preparation, SAFe for Teams training, and PI Planning.

During this one-day workshop, you will be guided through planning, preparation, and execution of a three-part Inspect and Adapt event: PI System Demo, Quantitative Assessment, and Problem Solving Workshop.

During this one-day workshop, you will learn principles and practices related to the key Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) collaborations and explore how to apply them to your context.
