Description
AI-Empowered SAFe® 6 Release Train Engineer (RTE) is an advanced, role-based course designed to equip experienced Agile leaders with the skills required to effectively lead and facilitate Agile Release Trains (ARTs) within the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®) 6.0.

Participants learn how to facilitate key ART events, including Planning Interval (PI) Planning, ART Sync, and Inspect & Adapt, while fostering collaboration and continuous improvement. The course emphasizes coordination across teams, management of dependencies, and alignment with business objectives.
