Course Overview

This three-day course delivers the complete official SAFe® for Architects certification content PLUS critical embedded systems perspectives missing from generic SAFe® training. You’ll learn how to architect for continuous value delivery in hardware-software systems, manage supplier dependencies, coordinate across multiple teams, and enable enterprise-scale agility in safety-critical environments. Perfect for architects in automotive, aerospace, medical devices, and industrial systems who need both SAFe® certification and practical embedded guidance.

Architecting at scale in embedded systems presents unique challenges that standard SAFe® training doesn’t address. You’re not just coordinating software teams—you’re orchestrating hardware suppliers, managing ISO 26262 compliance while staying agile, and creating architectural runways that account for silicon tape-out schedules. This course bridges that gap, teaching you to apply SAFe® principles when your “continuous” integration includes hardware-in-the-loop testing and your definition of done includes safety certification. Learn from instructors who’ve architected embedded systems at scale in regulated industries.
