An agile release train coordinates 50–125 teams to plan, commit, and deliver value on a fixed 8–12 week cadence aligned to value streams, enabling incremental delivery and synchronized PI planning.

Explore the agile release train life cycle, a PI planning to execution and improvement cycle. See how continuous integration, system demo, and inspect and adapt drive value.

Align all teams on the agile release train through ArtSync, CodeSync, PoSync, and system demos, using shared cadence and synchronized iterations to ensure early issue resolution and predictable delivery.

Art metrics measure the performance, predictability, and value delivery of an agile release train, using flow, outcome, predictability, and quality metrics to drive data-driven improvement.

Pi planning, the heartbeat of SAFe, aligns all art teams to a shared mission and three-month roadmap through two days of breakout sessions, risk management, and committed objectives.

Learn how large agile teams align work through pie planning, a scaled agile framework ceremony that uses business context, roadmap, and vision to set smart objectives for the increment.

Summarizes SAFe 6.0 events across team, art, large solution, and portfolio levels, including iteration planning, PI planning, system demos, Inspect and Adapt, and portfolio sync.

Learn capacity planning and estimations in SAFe, including velocity, load, capacity, and story points, Fibonacci estimates, and estimation poker to meet the definition of done and product owner acceptance.

Demonstrate completed work and gather stakeholder feedback to validate value during the iteration review, with the scrum master facilitating a value-focused environment and guiding future work with the product owner.
