Learn the mechanics of running a system specification workshop and how to perform them as part of a cadence in the SAFe ART.

Aligned with the goals of the DoD Digital Engineering Strategy, this 10-hour workshop will teach you how to create & leverage models aligned with your organization’s enterprise agile environment. Designed for Systems Engineers & Architects you’ll use hands-on simulations to incrementally construct ‘system specifications’ using MBSE techniques that define system context, behavioral response to stimulus, structural design and interfaces. These models, which evolve on a synchronized cadence, are used to:

-Ensure architectural integrity and runway of the system
-Identify and prepare for integrations to other systems
-Elicit functionality to be decomposed and developed in an agile manner over the next increment

Anyone who has ever studied the Scaled Agile Framework’s (SAFe) ‘Big Picture’ realizes that there are many moving parts that must work together for organizations to realize significant business benefit. Without tool support for these myriad moving parts, continued success and growth for your lean-agile environment is that much more difficult. Atlassian’s Jira Align provides the support necessary for implementing agile at scale practices and processes- from portfolio strategy to work ‘on the ground.’

In this session we’ll focus specifically on how Jira Align supports two critical activities integral to a successful implementation of SAFe (or any agile at scale methodology):
1. Preparing for Big Room/PI Planning
2. Executing successful (in person or remote!) Big Room/PI Planning

The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®) provides a comprehensive approach to developing cyber-physical (hardware-inclusive) solutions- often a complex set of integrated systems. When these large scale solutions include hardware, software and firmware, and also must meet regulatory compliance standards, applying lean-agile principles and practices become even more challenging.

In this webinar, we’ll provide an introduction to how product and solution management roles can use SAFe, Jira Align and more traditional engineering tools (we will use IBM’s Engineering Lifecycle Management as an example) to define and support the building of large scale, cyber-physical systems.
