Focus: SAFe for Hardware Agilist (SHWA)

Certified SAFe® Hardware Agilist

SAFe for Hardware Agilist is a two-day course that delves into the hardware industry and gives participants the opportunity to learn how to adapt SAFe to their industry using real-world examples and hardware-specific context. It enables organizations to seamlessly integrate SAFe principles into hardware development, accelerate delivery, and maintain flexibility while managing the complexity of large system designs.

Many organizations that develop hardware-based solutions face unique challenges when trying to adopt Lean-Agile practices. The gap between traditional development processes and modern agile methods can seem overwhelming. To bridge this gap, participants will acquire the following actionable skills: accelerating development cycles, quickly gathering and responding to feedback, and improving flexibility. The course serves as preparation for SAFe® for Hardware Agilist (SHWA) certification.
