Come Together in Real Life – See You at the Global SAFe® Summit!

As the world attempts to return to “business as usual” regarding everything from travel, to concerts, events, and everything in between, we are very much looking forward to this year’s Global SAFe® Summit. This year the event will be taking place in Denver, Colorado, from August 22-25.

Developing and maintaining a “team-centric environment” is at the core of SAFe®. Communication and a high level of transparency throughout the organization encourages collaborative efforts which drive productivity, drives down time-to-market, and helps ensure a quality solution. SAFe® uses well-documented, specific, and repeatable processes. Agile and lean practices ensure all teams are focused on a common set of goals. Every individual understands what the deliverables are to be and as a result, the client has a clear set of expectations to be returned.

We would love to have you join us and hundreds of other eager attendees for the 2022 Global SAFe® Summit. Regardless of your level of experience, this is an incredible opportunity to learn firsthand from the premiere SAFe® experts. There will be a plethora of resources, training, and partners to help you start the process and pull it all together. See how organizations are using the SAFe® framework successfully and find out what lies ahead.

Here’s a summary and a quick look at what’s in store!

Working Differently: Learning and Collaboration in the Modern World

For as long as we can remember, face-to-face communication was the most effective and efficient way to work; it’s one of Agile’s foundational assumptions. We experienced this in the form of co-located workspaces, big room group planning, classroom training, and the like. That all changed in the spring of 2020 when the world was challenged to rethink everything about the work experience.
Topics might include, among others:

Virtual classroom, asynchronous global training, modularity, eLearning, blended learning
Partner story how the new world is better/more effective than the old world
Customer story how virtualizing learning accelerated team/train formation and execution
