What is the curriculum for implementing safe certification?
Introduction :-
The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) has gained significant traction in organizations looking to implement Agile practices at scale. One of the key certifications within this framework is the Implementing SAFe certification, which prepares professionals to lead Lean-Agile transformations effectively. This blog outlines the curriculum for implementing SAFe certification, detailing the essential concepts and skills participants will acquire during the training.
Understanding Lean-Agile Principles
The curriculum begins with an in-depth exploration of Lean and Agile principles. Participants learn how these methodologies can enhance organizational performance and drive business agility. This foundational knowledge is crucial for understanding how to apply SAFe practices effectively in real-world scenarios.

Identifying Value Streams
A core component of the training involves identifying and mapping value streams within an organization. Participants learn how to analyze current processes to determine where value is added and where waste occurs. This understanding is vital for optimizing workflows and ensuring that teams focus on delivering customer value efficiently.
Launching Agile Release Trains (ARTs)
The training covers the process of launching Agile Release Trains (ARTs), which are teams of Agile teams that work together to deliver value in a coordinated manner. Participants learn how to organize teams around value streams, establish roles within ARTs, and facilitate effective collaboration across multiple teams. This aspect of the curriculum emphasizes the importance of alignment and communication in achieving successful outcomes.
Optimizing Flow
Participants are taught techniques for optimizing flow within their organizations. This includes learning about various Lean practices that help reduce bottlenecks, improve cycle times, and enhance overall efficiency. The focus on flow optimization ensures that organizations can respond quickly to changing market demands while maintaining high-quality deliverables.
Applying Objectives and Key Results (OKRs)
The curriculum introduces the concept of Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) as a framework for setting strategic goals within a SAFe implementation. Participants learn how to align team objectives with organizational goals, ensuring that everyone is working toward common outcomes. This alignment is critical for measuring success and driving continuous improvement throughout the organization.
Agile Product Delivery
Another key topic covered in the training is Agile product delivery. Participants explore best practices for managing product backlogs, prioritizing features, and delivering value incrementally. This section emphasizes the importance of customer feedback and iterative development in creating products that meet market needs effectively.
Coaching a SAFe Transformation
A significant focus of the curriculum is on coaching organizations through their SAFe transformations. Participants learn how to guide teams in adopting SAFe practices, facilitate training sessions, and support continuous improvement initiatives. This coaching aspect is essential for ensuring that organizations can sustain their Agile practices over time.
Understanding Roles in SAFe
The training also covers the various roles within a SAFe implementation, including Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Release Train Engineers, and other key positions. Understanding these roles helps participants appreciate how each contributes to the overall success of Agile initiatives.
Conclusion
In summary, the Implementing SAFe certification provides a comprehensive curriculum designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to lead Lean-Agile transformations effectively. From understanding Lean-Agile principles and identifying value streams to launching Agile Release Trains and applying OKRs, participants gain valuable insights that can significantly enhance their organizations' ability to deliver value efficiently.
By investing in this certification, individuals position themselves as change agents capable of driving successful Agile implementations within their organizations. As businesses continue to seek ways to improve their agility and responsiveness, mastering these concepts will be invaluable for anyone looking to thrive in today’s dynamic business landscape.

Photos from Facebook from a guy who teaches a storm class here in Oklahoma.
Wrapping up Twisters opening weekend with one more behind the scenes memory.
In April, 2023, we were approached by the Twisters production office about doing a storm spotter class for the cast and crew. As we talked about the class, I asked them if they wanted 1) a storm spotter class; 2) a weather class with info to help actors with their roles in the movie; or 3) a tornado safety class to help everyone new to Oklahoma in springtime. The answer was yes - we want all three.
On May 3rd, 2023, we hosted nine of the cast and nine crew members for the training. It didn't really have a name, but I've heard someone refer to it as Tornado Bootcamp or Tornadoes 101. We started around 8am and it lasted two hours.
I covered Oklahoma tornado culture to illustrate how big of a deal tornadoes are to the people who live here, covering everything from Saturday siren tests to IPAs named after weather terms to TV meteorologist drinking games and bingo cards to storm anxiety and PTSD. I talked about the Twister effect, which saw meteorology school enrollments double or triple in some cases after Twister came out. I did some basic storm spotter training and a little severe weather meteorology, and wrapped up with tornado safety (including a slide illustrating how it was not safe to shelter under a wooden bridge or by strapping yourself to a pipe using screen grabs from Twister.)
The class was very interactive. Daisy Edgar Jones and Glen Powell sat front row center and Daisy had her notebook and took notes the entire time. I got really good questions from the class and I could tell they were genuinely interested.
We followed up the class with an extended tour/visit to SPC and the WFO, with a lot more great questions and discussion. We ended the visit talking vehicles and technology with Sean Waugh. I think some of them would have stayed all day if they had been able to.

File: Pikmin - Water Wraith
SCP#: AJT
Code Name: Second Piece of the [data expunged]
Object Class: Neutralized
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-AJT remains where contained at Site-AA within one of the Keter Storage Units in the lower levels. Only Site Director James, Administrative Staff, and AFA-3 units to the design of Site Director James command are allowed in this level.
The remains of SCP-AJT are stored in a frequency isolation box that is placed inside a safe with a Cavafy Reality Concealment Engine to prevent anyone who is not within the Foundation from comprehending its existence. Only Site Director James and anyone she has approved is capable of comprehending its existence with a specialized drug that only lasts for 5 hours. Anyone not on her personal list that has this drug in their system is to be executed, there will be no exceptions.
Description: SCP-AJT at the time of activation was a strange blob-like monster that took on the form of a short and bald humanoid. However, it originally did not stand like a humanoid but instead placed its arms and legs at the ends of two cylinder-like stones. It seemingly uses these stones specifically to crush tiny creatures. What makes SCP-AJT even more anomalous is that despite being physical, it seems to be connected to another reality. Anyone in our reality can see, hear, and interact with it but none of our scanning technology is able to detect its existence. Not even a Hume level scanner can detect its presence. How this is possible is not well understood. 
Though it is believed to be related to its connection to the [Data Expunged by Order of the O5 Council], which is an Entity of Interest recently labeled as a Level 5 Threat. SCP-AJT was confirmed to be related to this entity when it was discovered to have great hostility to SCP-AEK. A notable trait to all entities related to the [Data Expunged by Order of the O5 Council] is their small size and great hostility towards SPC-AEK. 
SCP-AEK was discovered in 2004 after Site Director James took the SCP-AEK instances out for training. She took them to an area where there was an abundance of SCP-AEW-Alpha and Omega instances reported. She went there with a personal MTF security guard that seemed unnecessary but was insisted on by the O5 Council. Her SCP-AEK instances successfully managed to kill all the SCP-AEK instances however suddenly from the water SCP-AJT appeared and nearly wiped out the SCP-AEK instances due to no one paying attention and their scanners not going off. Shockingly all Site Director James had to do was stomp a lot and SCP-AJT was quickly weakened long enough for her security to take the cylinder stones SCP-AJT rolled on. Afterwards her SCP-AEK instances were able to easily kill what remained.
“Okay I know that was anticlimactic but let me remind you we have evidence that the [Data Expunged by Order of the O5 Council] exists and destroyed the world at least once. It started off weak but because everyone ignored it, it became something too big to handle. So I don’t care what anyone says, I’m not underestimating this thing or any of the anomalies it creates and if you guys do then your all, fucking idiots! Sorry, got a little too into it there, but seriously, I don’t know what the [Data Expunged by Order of the O5 Council] is yet, but I WILL destroy it even if it turns out to be just an angry screaming water drop.” -Site Director James.

 Finally, the last step is to assess the effectiveness of the strategies through regular evaluations and making necessary changes. 
 To support implementing SAFe certification, it is necessary to keep track of the achieved results and make corrections if necessary. The next step is to remember the metrics set in the roadmap so that it is possible to evaluate the extent of the implementation. Hear what other team members and stakeholders are saying in order to note any performances that can be deemed as problematic. 
 Be ready to modify your strategies, which you shall be implementing in this process, based on the findings. As with any change process, agile transformation is a continuous process and Loose coupling is the cornerstone for sustaining improvement initiatives.

Scaling Agile: Adapting the Framework for Large Organisations
Tumblr media
Agile methodologies have revolutionized project management, enabling teams to deliver value quickly and adapt to changing requirements. However, while agile is well-suited for small teams and projects, scaling it to large organizations presents unique challenges. In this blog, we'll explore how organizations can adapt agile project management principles using the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), emphasizing the importance of scaled agile framework training for successful implementation.
Understanding the Challenges of Scaling Agile
Scaling agile to large organisations introduces complexity and requires overcoming various challenges:
Coordination and Alignment
Large organisations often have multiple teams working on interconnected projects. Ensuring alignment and coordination across these teams is essential for achieving overall organisational goals.
Maintaining Agile Principles
Scaling agile can dilute agile principles, such as collaboration, transparency, and customer focus. It's crucial to preserve these principles while adapting to the needs of larger-scale projects.
Cultural Transformation
Scaling agile requires a cultural shift within the organisation, including a willingness to embrace change, empower teams, and foster collaboration.
Introducing the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)
The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is a proven framework for scaling agile practices across large organisations. It provides a comprehensive approach to aligning strategy, execution, and delivery at scale.
Key Components of SAFe
Lean-Agile Principles: SAFe is built on lean and agile principles, emphasising continuous improvement, delivering value, and empowering teams.
Agile Release Trains (ARTs): ARTs are self-organising teams aligned to a common mission, responsible for delivering value in a specific timeframe, typically 8-12 weeks.
Program Increment (PI) Planning: PI Planning is a cadence-based, face-to-face event where teams plan their work for the upcoming Program Increment, ensuring alignment and coordination.
Lean Portfolio Management: SAFe guides aligning strategy and execution through lean portfolio management practices, enabling organisations to prioritise and fund initiatives based on their strategic objectives.
Benefits of SAFe
Improved Alignment: SAFe facilitates alignment across teams and ensures everyone works towards the same goals, reducing conflicts and improving efficiency.
Faster Time-to-Market: By breaking down work into smaller increments and aligning teams, SAFe enables organisations to deliver value faster and respond to market changes more quickly.
Enhanced Quality: SAFe emphasises continuous integration and testing, leading to higher-quality deliverables and fewer defects.
Empowered Teams: SAFe empowers teams to make decisions and take ownership of their work, increasing motivation and engagement.
The Role of Scaled Agile Framework Training
Implementing SAFe requires a deep understanding of its principles, practices, and roles. Scaled Agile Framework training provides individuals and organisations with the knowledge and skills to adopt and implement SAFe successfully.
Key Training Offerings
SAFe Agilist (SA) Certification: The SA certification provides an overview of the Scaled Agile Framework and its principles, preparing individuals to lead agile transformation initiatives.
SAFe Practitioner (SP) Certification: The SP certification focuses on the practical application of SAFe principles, equipping participants with the skills needed to work effectively in a scaled agile environment.
SAFe Program Consultant (SPC) Certification: The SPC certification is designed for experienced agile practitioners who want to lead and coach agile transformations at the enterprise level.
Benefits of Scaled Agile Framework Training
Enhanced Competency: Scaled Agile Framework training equips individuals with the knowledge and skills to effectively implement SAFe within their organisations.
Improved Collaboration: Training brings together individuals from different teams and departments, fostering collaboration and alignment.
Accelerated Adoption: Training accelerates the adoption of SAFe by providing a common understanding of its principles and practices, reducing resistance to change.
Overcoming Challenges in Scaling Agile with SAFe
While SAFe provides a comprehensive framework for scaling agile, organisations may encounter challenges during implementation:
Resistance to Change
Resistance to change is common, especially in large organisations with established processes and cultures. Effective change management strategies and leadership support are essential for overcoming resistance and fostering buy-in.
Siloed Mindsets
Silos between departments and teams can hinder collaboration and alignment. SAFe encourages cross-functional collaboration and provides mechanisms for breaking down silos, but it requires concerted effort and commitment from leadership.
Lack of Executive Support
Successful implementation of SAFe requires strong executive sponsorship and support. Leaders must understand the benefits of scaling agile and actively champion the transformation effort.
Conclusion: Scaling Agile with SAFe for Organisational Success
In conclusion, scaling agile to large organizations requires a structured approach and a deep understanding of agile principles and practices. The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) provides a comprehensive framework for scaling agile, enabling organizations to align strategy, execution, and delivery at scale. Scaled Agile Framework training is crucial in building the knowledge and skills needed to implement SAFe and overcome challenges. By embracing SAFe and investing in training, organizations can unlock the full potential of agile and drive innovation, collaboration, and value delivery at scale.

EOD handled the bombs. SSTP treated the wounds. PRP processed the bodies. The o8s fired DPICM. The MAW provided CAS. The o3s patrolled the MSRs. Me and PFC handled the money.
If a sheikh supported the ISF, we distributed CERP. If the ESB destroyed a building, we gave fair comp. If the 03s shot a civilian, we paid off the families. That meant leaving the FOB, where it's safe, and driving the MSRs.
I never wanted to leave the FOB. I never wanted to drive the MSRs or roll with 03s. PFC did. But me, when I got 3400 in boot camp, I thought, Great. I'd work in an office, be a POG. Be the POG of POGs and then go to college for business. I didn't need to get some, I needed to get the G.I. Bill. But when I was training at BSTS, they told me, You better learn this, 3400s go outside the wire. A few months later, I was strapped up, M4 in Condition 1, surrounded by o3s, backpack full of cash, twitchiest guy in Iraq.
I did twenty-four missions, some with Marine 03s, some with National Guardsmen from 2/136. My last mission was to AZD. A couple of Iraqis had driven up fast on a TCP. They ignored the EOF, the dazzlers and the warning shots, and died for it. I'd been promoted to E4, so PFC was taking over consolation payments, but I went with him to give a left-seat right-seat on working off the FOB. PFC always needed his hand held. In the HMMWV it was me, PFC, PV2 Herrera, and SGT Green. Up in the turret on the 240G was SPC Jaegermeir-Schmidt, aka J-15.
There wasn't a lot to look at on the MS south of HB. We scanned for all the different types of IEDs AQI would throw at us. IEDs made of old 122 shells, or C4, or homemade explosives. Chlorine bombs mixed with HE. VBIEDs in burned-out cars. SVBIEDs driven by lunatics. IEDs in drainage ditches or dug into the middle of the road. Some in the bodies of dead camels. Others daisy-chained together-one in the open to make you stop, another to kill you where you stand. IEDs everywhere, but most missions, nothing. Even knowing how bad the MSRs were, knowing we could die, we got bored.
PFC said, "It'd be cool to get IED'd, 'long as no one got hurt."
J-15 snapped, said, "That's bad juju, that's worse than eating the Charms in an MRE."
Temp was 121, and I remember bitching about the AC. Then the IED hit.
PV2 swerved and the HMMWV rolled. It wasn't like the HEAT trainer at Lejeune. JP-8 leaked and caught fire, burning through my MARPATs. Me and SGT Green got out, and then we pulled PV2 out by the straps of his PPE. But PV2 was uncon-scious, and I ran back for PFC, but he was on the side where the IED hit, and it was too late.
PFC's Eye Pro cracked and warped in the heat. The plastic snaps on his PPE melted. And even though J-15 left his legs. behind, at least he got CASEVAC'd to the SSTP and died on the table. PRP had to wash PFC out with Simple Green and peroxide.
The MLG awarded me a NAM with a V. Don't see too many 3400s got a NAM with a V. It's up there next to my CAR and my Purple Heart and my GWOT Expeditionary and my Sea Service and my Good Cookie and my NDS. Even 03s show respect when they see it. But give me a NAM with a V, give me the Medal of Honor, it doesn't change that I'm still breathing. And when people ask what the NAM is for, I say it's so I don't feel bad that I was too slow for PFC.
In boot camp, the DIs teach you Medal of Honor stories.Most recipients were KIA. Their families didn't get a. homecoming, they got a CACO knocking on their door. They got SGLI. They got a trip to Dover to see Marines lift the remains out of a C-130. They got a closed casket, because IEDs and SAF don't leave pretty corpses. The DIs tell you these stories over and over, and even a POG like me knows what they mean.
So I tell my family, "I'm staying in-the G.I. Bill can wait." And I tell my OIC, "Sir, I want to go to OEF. OEF's where the fight is now." And I tell my girlfriend, "Okay, leave me." And I tell PFC, "I wish it'd been me," even though I don't mean it.
I'm going to OEF. As a 3400. As a POG, but a POG with experience. I'll distribute CERP again. I'll roll with 03s again. And maybe I'll get IED'd again. But this time, out on the MSRs, I will be terrified.
I will remember the sounds PFC made. I will remember that I was his NCO, so he was my responsibility. And I will remember PFC himself as though I loved him. So I won't really remember PFC at all--not why I gave him low PRO/CONs, not why I told him he'd never make E4.
Instead I will remember that our HMMWV had 5 PX. That the SITREP was 2 KIA, 3 WIA. That KIA means they gave everything. That WIA means I didn't.
Phil Klay, “OIF.”
