Attendees are eligible to earn continuing edu cation credit through IEEE CEU/PDH by participating the duration of the wo rkshop and completing the necessary forms. Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) 4 .0\n\nScaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is a commercial industry systems and s oftware engineering body of knowledge based on lean and agile values\, pri nciples\, and practices. Lean and agile methods are currently used by over 95% of public and private sector organizations worldwide. SAFe is a multi -level model consisting of best practices\, guidelines\, and tools for ent erprise-wide portfolio management\, value stream management (mission workf lows\, threads\, and complex acquisitions)\, program management\, and team -level project management. SAFe provides the program management and system s engineering discipline necessary to build complex\, enterprise-wide miss ion and safety-critical systems\, while retaining the flexibility\, adapta bility\, and market-responsiveness of lean and agile principles. SAFe is e merging as the de facto standard for Global 500 firms\, top U.S. financial institutions\, major U.S. defense contractors\, and public sector agencie s such as the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). During this\, tutorial par ticipants will engage in hands-on activities to reinforce the learning obj ectives.\n\nLearning Objectives:\n\n• Understand and explain how SAFe 4. 0 supports Lean & Agile principles.\n\n• Illustrate how and why SAFe 4.0 supports systems and software engineering.\n\n• Master the roles\, resp onsibilities\, and guidelines of its four major levels.\n\n• Learn how t o apply SAFe 4.0 for portfolio\, program\, and project management.\n\n• Identify the business case\, justification\, and rationale for SAFe 4.0.\n \n• Internalize SAFe 4.0 principles by engaging in simulations and exerc ises\n\nFor more details: go to INCOSE Chesapeake Chapter web site at: htt p://www.incose-cc.org/scaled-agile-framework-safe-4-0-workshop-december-10 -2016/\n\nRegistration: RSVP email to the attention: Debi Siering at Sieri ng@IEEE.org by Dec. 6\, 2016 as follows:\n\nHeading of RSVP: Dec. 10\, 201 6 SAFE Workshop with the following information\nBody of RSVP: Please inclu de Name\, Phone Number\, INCOSE\, or IEEE Membership #\n\nCo-sponsored by: Northern Virginia/Washington PES Chapter\n\nSpeaker(s): Suzette Johnson\, David Rico\n\nAgenda: \nAgenda:\n\n9:15 AM: BLDG.
