SAFe® 6.0 DevOps Certification Training Course

The SAFe® 6.0 DevOps Certification Training Course is a comprehensive program designed to help participants understand and apply DevOps principles within a Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®) environment. This course, known as “SAFe® DevOps” (SDP), focuses on optimizing the value stream from development to operations and helps teams develop a culture of shared responsibility, transparency, and collaboration. The training equips participants with skills to accelerate the release of high-quality software, reduce lead time, and enhance delivery predictability.

Course Objectives:

• Understand DevOps principles and practices within a SAFe® environment
• Learn to create a Continuous Delivery Pipeline (CDP) for faster and more efficient delivery
• Identify and address bottlenecks in the delivery pipeline
• Develop skills to foster a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement
• Apply best practices for automation, monitoring, and feedback loops
• Prepare for and pass the SAFe® 6.0 DevOps Practitioner (SDP) certification exam

Key Components:

1. DevOps Foundations in SAFe®: Learn core DevOps principles and how they fit within the SAFe® framework to support continuous value delivery.
2. Mapping the Value Stream: Identify flow impediments in the value stream and create a plan to optimize the entire process from concept to delivery.
3. Building a Continuous Delivery Pipeline (CDP): Understand how to design and implement a CDP that includes Continuous Exploration (CE), Continuous Integration (CI), Continuous Deployment (CD), and Release on Demand.
4. Automation for Fast Feedback: Discover techniques for implementing automation across the pipeline to minimize delays and improve quality.
5. Security and Compliance in DevOps: Integrate security practices early in the pipeline to ensure secure, compliant software.
6. Measuring and Improving Flow: Use key DevOps metrics to assess pipeline efficiency and implement changes for continuous improvement.

Delivery Format:

• Duration: 2 days
• Method: In-person or virtual
• Interactive Exercises: Value stream mapping, hands-on labs, and real-world case studies

Certification:

Participants will be eligible to take the SAFe® 6.0 DevOps Practitioner (SDP) exam upon completing the course. This certification demonstrates an understanding of the skills needed to enable and sustain a DevOps culture within a SAFe® environment.

Who Should Attend:

This course is ideal for DevOps engineers, Agile practitioners, release train engineers, developers, QA specialists, IT operations, and anyone involved in building and supporting high-performance pipelines. It is particularly beneficial for those looking to align DevOps practices with scaled Agile principles.

By the end of this course, participants will be equipped with the knowledge to implement DevOps practices within SAFe®, enabling their teams to deliver value faster and more reliably, with the added benefits of agility, scalability, and continuous improvement.
