SAFe® Release Train Engineer ( RTE) Training in India

Explore the skills needed to facilitate and enable end-to-end value delivery through Agile Release Trains (ARTs)—and learn how to build a high-performing ART through servant leadership and coaching—by becoming a SAFe® 5 Release Train Engineer (RTE).

Through experiential learning, attendees will examine the RTE role in a Lean-Agile transformation, how to facilitate ART processes and execution, coach leaders, teams, and Scrum Masters in new processes and mindsets, prepare, plan and execute a Program Increment (PI) planning event, the primarily enabler of alignment throughout all levels of a SAFe organization.

The five key responsibilities of an RTE are:

People – One of the most important responsibilities of the release train engineer is to maintain positive employee and team experiences. They must create an environment that facilitates positive team health as well as provides guidance and management to all workers to ensure goals are met.

Coaching and education – The RTE must teach their teams, leaders, and scrum masters about the combination of Lean and Agile management practices and ideologies.

Program Increments – The Program Increment (PI) is a timeframe during which an Agile release train delivers incremental value in the form of working software and systems that have been properly tested. This is the equivalent of an iteration in Agile software development. RTEs must create and communicate the annual calendars for iterations and PIs; facilitate PI planning and readiness, and summarize the PI objectives and publish them to provide visibility and transparency.

Agile release train success indicators – The RTE is responsible for monitoring and reporting the ART’s success.

Improvement roadmap – The release train engineer must also create retrospective improvement roadmaps by analyzing all activities and actions that have previously been performed and finding ways to improve each process.
