Implementing SAFe

Implementing SAFe with SAFe Practice Consultant (SPC) certification

AI-Empowered Implementing SAFe is Scaled Agile's four-day course leading to SAFe Practice Consultant (SPC) certification. It equips change agents, consultants, and leaders to guide SAFe implementations across teams, Agile Release Trains, and portfolios — from initial ART launch through sustained execution.

The course covers the full SAFe implementation roadmap, including value stream identification, ART design and launch, PI Planning, and Lean Portfolio Management. It includes ready-to-use prompt packs for coaching conversations, PI Planning facilitation, transformation communications, and artefact drafts — reinforcing human judgement and Lean-Agile principles.

After four days, you'll be able to:

Plan and design a SAFe implementation using the SAFe Implementation Roadmap.
Identify value streams, design ARTs, and prepare for ART launch and execution.
Coach teams, ARTs, and leaders through common implementation challenges.
Enable Lean Portfolio Management, including strategy, lean budgeting, and portfolio governance.
Use role-specific prompt packs to accelerate coaching conversations, PI Planning facilitation, transformation communications, and artefact drafts.

Delivered by SAFe Fellows who are also SPCTs and Certified AI-Native Trainers.

What Our Clients Say

Cobalt Ho Head of Lean, Enterprise Transformation and Portfolio Management at Cathay Pacific Airways

Enjoyable 4-day learning and special credit to my two great trainers Em Campbell-Pretty and Adrienne Wilson from Pretty Agile - I got an exam pass! Thank you for the great class and your fruitful experience to help us understand the theories behind. You and Em are doing super great - so luck to have both of you being our coaches! Both of them are super experienced and put their lifelong learning into a book named "The ART of Avoiding a Train Wreck" (could find in Amazon) with a foreword by Dean Leffingwell who created SAFe! Lots of practical learnings have been found there. I don't like reading book most of the time (except Harry Potter) but I do find it quite enjoyable if you are also in the journey. If you are also a Lean fans like me, probably you will enjoy their explanation how the lean thinking being connected and executed. Enjoy~

Imran Shakeel Senior Scrum Master, Nuix

Certified SAFe 5.0 Program Consultant (SPC)! OK, this was exciting. Challenging but exciting and fun nonetheless. Big thanks to Em Campbell-Pretty and Adrienne Wilson at Pretty Agile for making this so much easy. Their mastery in navigating through the huge piles of content - and not just course content but so much extra and additional real-world stories and anecdotes - impressed me!

Mitch Drew Principal Business Analyst, Department of Justice and Attorney-General QLD

After practicing SAFe for 4 years I decided to complete my SAFe Practice Consultant certification. I researched multiple companies that provided this training but decided to go with Pretty Agile. I am so glad I did! Em and Adrienne are extremely experienced with implementing SAFe at various organisations and were able to link practical experiences to the course content. This made for such a better learning experience and made the exam much easier. If you are thinking about doing this course or any other SAFe certification, do yourself a favour and connect with Pretty Agile.

Tanesh Naidoo Scrum Master, Chevron

Privileged and humbled to have been coached by such consummate professionals. Em Campbell-Pretty and Adrienne Wilson are wiser beyond their years, particularly with being able to expertly navigate us through the virtual training. Their best-selling books are a treasure trove of useful wisdom gathered over their many years of experience in this domain. If you're thinking about doing the course, then don't hesitate and book it in. It's everything you need and more!

Susmitha Vemprala Integration Planning & Agile Process Coach, Waste Management (Texas)

Em and Adrienne - When i signed up for this mid-night class, I wasn't sure about how much I would actually learn. But you both made the learning very easy by sharing your experiences and helping relate the "book" knowledge to real-life. Thank you!! I thoroughly enjoyed the classes and would absolutely recommend it to all my friends.

Jason Cull Agile Business Coach, Chevron

I managed to pass one of the hardest exams I have ever done to become a SAFe 5 Program Consultant today. Thank you to Em Campbell-Pretty, Adrienne Wilson and everyone else attended Pretty Agile's first online SPC training course. I cannot recommend Pretty Agile highly enough as a training provider for SAFe. Both instructors went above and beyond to ensure we had the best opportunities for learning. #Agile #SAFe #SPC #Chevron #prettyagile

Why train with Pretty Agile?

Knowing SAFe is one thing. Leading a live implementation is another.

Every cohort is delivered by two SAFe Fellows with enterprise implementation experience across Australia and New Zealand. The course is taught through real implementation scenarios — launching ARTs, enabling PI Planning, navigating leadership alignment, and working through the failure modes that appear most often in practice.

Delivered by two SAFe Fellows who are also SPCTs and Certified AI-Native Trainers.

Trained 14,000+ people in SAFe since 2014.
95%+ public course run rate.

Who should attend

This course is designed for people who intend to apply SAFe in practice, not just learn the framework.

You'll get the most value if you're involved in leading or supporting a SAFe implementation — working with value streams, ART design and launch, PI Planning, coaching execution, or advising leaders on rollout sequencing and governance.

Common fit roles include Agile Coaches, Release Train Engineers, experienced Scrum Masters stepping into transformation work, delivery, program, and portfolio leaders, and change agents supporting SAFe rollouts.

A note on expectations: SPC certification demonstrates knowledge of the implementation roadmap. It does not replace hands-on experience.

What You’ll Gain

You'll learn how to:

Apply the 13-step SAFe Implementation Roadmap across the full lifecycle of a SAFe rollout.
Build urgency and alignment with leaders, and support the formation of a Lean-Agile Centre of Excellence (LACE).
Identify value streams, design ARTs, and support their launch and ongoing execution.
Prepare for, run, and support PI Planning and Inspect and Adapt events.
Coach teams, ARTs, and leaders through common implementation challenges and failure modes.
Enable Lean Portfolio Management, including strategy, funding, governance, and flow.
Understand how the Continuous Delivery Pipeline, DevOps culture, and architectural runway support delivery at scale.
Apply role-specific prompt packs to produce coaching materials, facilitator guides, transformation communications, and artefact drafts.
Support continuous improvement and the evolution of SAFe over time, not just the initial rollout.
