Agile procurement practices tailored for the public sector

Agile practices are gaining momentum in the public sector, but traditional procurement processes often struggle to keep pace. The SAFe® Agile Contracting for Government course provides public agencies and their partners with the knowledge and tools to modernise procurement while maintaining transparency, compliance, and delivery confidence.

This one-day micro-credential course teaches participants how to write, evaluate, and manage Agile contracts that support incremental delivery, measurable outcomes, and adaptive scope—all within the context of the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®).

Delivered by SPCTs and SAFe Fellows with real-world experience in government Agile implementations, this course empowers procurement and delivery teams to shift from rigid contracting approaches to value-based collaboration.

By completing this course, you'll gain practical skills and insights to:

  • Define what “delivering value” means in a government context
  • Apply Agile-friendly contract types in public procurement settings
  • Write agile contracts that support iterative and incremental delivery
  • Evaluate vendors based on their ability to deliver outcomes, not just outputs
  • Monitor performance using Agile metrics that drive improvement
  • Estimate the cost of an Agile Release Train (ART) in government programs
  • Overcome common challenges in Agile acquisition, including fixed-scope traps

The course covers six key focus areas:

  1. Delivering Value in Government
    Understand how Lean-Agile approaches improve transparency, reduce risk, and increase citizen and stakeholder satisfaction.

  2. Evaluating Effective Agile Contracts
    Explore contract structures that support iterative delivery, value measurement, and collaboration.

  3. Monitoring Performance and Driving Continuous Improvement
    Learn to use Agile metrics like flow efficiency, PI predictability, and defect trends to assess performance.

  4. Pricing and Contract Types
    Compare fixed-price, cost-plus, time & materials, and IDIQ contracts—and how each aligns to Agile work structures.

  5. Vendor Evaluation and Selection
    Learn how to assess vendor capabilities using agile criteria, interactive evaluations, and past performance.

  6. Overcoming Challenges in Agile Acquisitions
    Address anti-patterns such as fixed-scope contracts, lack of collaboration, and misaligned metrics.

This course is ideal for government personnel and partners responsible for:

  • Procuring technology or professional services
  • Writing or evaluating Agile contracts
  • Managing vendors or delivery partners
  • Overseeing value delivery in large programs

What Our Clients Say

Piyumali Perera Change and Capability Director, Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, NZ

It's been great to have had the time to complete a course and obtain my certification as a Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) Program Consultant. A huge thanks to Em Campbell-Pretty and Adrienne Wilson from Pretty Agile for running such a well structured and engaging course across multiple time zones!

Matthias Prilipp Product Manager - New Technologies, Porsche Cars Australia Pty.Ltd.

The Agile Product Management certification has been a great introduction to the Scaled Agile Framework. Em and Adrienne cover all important areas of modern agile product management and have given me the tools to apply the principles of the framework to my day-to-day business. I did enjoy the online format as it gave me more flexibility and allowed us to discuss the framework in an international context with participants from overseas. The team from Pretty Agile made this a seamless experience and I’m looking forward to my next course.

Judith van der Linden Agile Program Change Manager, Chevron

I thoroughly enjoyed your ‘Implementing SAFe’ class in July. I have to admit, I was a bit worried about what the virtual experience would be like but you have it down to an art (pun intended :). The four days flew by, thanks to the mix of engaging facilitators, well timed breaks and seamless technology. I hope virtual options remain a permanent offering for training providers as it opens up more opportunities, especially if for those not based on the East Coast. Keep up the great work

Natalie Cryan Director UoA Online

I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank you for your expert facilitation and training during the Leading SAFe sessions last week. I'm always amazed by how seamlessly you handle the time-zone challenge and how you maintain such energy and stamina across two incredibly long and intensive days. It makes such a difference to the learning experience, and I really appreciated it.

Jeffrey Davidson Founder, Leading Great Teams, LLC

With experience in agile, scrum, SAFe, and training I didn't want to take any class. I wanted to take training from someone who understands how to share information, engage the (virtual) classroom, and use their experience to get beyond the wordy slides and talk about real-world implementations. And the person I wanted training from more than anyone else is Em Campbell-Pretty. She and Adrienne did a marvellous job and kept me engaged despite the 9-hour time difference. Yes, my class started at 5:30PM local and ran until 2:30AM. And it was worth it!

Len Walter Chief Technology Officer/CTO/CIO from startup to ASX300

Really enjoyed the Implementing SAFe course from the guys at Pretty Agile. If anyone's hesitant to invest in training while it's all happening over Zoom, I say - don't! With the right approach and tools, the four days flew by. SAFe 5 has gone beyond large-scale product development into the mindset and culture to increase whole-of-business agility. I wonder if we're seeing the early results of that in the rapid business transformation in response to COVID at telcos and banks, frequent adopters of SAFe.
