You work in or with a government organisation undergoing change. Agile teams are scaling up. Leadership talks about value, efficiency, and innovation. You hear terms like ARTs, PI Planning and Lean Portfolio Management – but you’re unsure how it all fits within your context.

You wonder: how do we balance agility with compliance? How do we plan with fixed budgets? How do we engage stakeholders across departments, while delivering value to citizens?

This course helps you answer those questions. You’ll learn how to apply SAFe in public sector settings – where legislation, transparency and political mandates shape your reality. We’ll cover Lean-Agile principles, SAFe implementation strategies, public sector funding and contracting, leadership roles, and preparing for major events like PI Planning and ART launches.

You’ll leave with a practical roadmap to guide your organisation or department forward.

This course is for you if you recognise one or more of these challenges:

• You’re involved in a government programme or department where Agile is being scaled
• You struggle to connect Agile practices to public sector requirements like compliance, fixed funding or tender procedures
• You are expected to lead or support a Lean-Agile transformation, but lack a clear structure or plan
• You want to build momentum, but face siloed teams, unclear mandates or changing political expectations
• You want to create more value for end users and citizens – and make sure change actually lands
• This course is relevant for government leaders, programme managers, portfolio managers, change agents, consultants,
• enterprise architects, RTEs, and anyone in the public sector responsible for guiding Agile initiatives.
