Course Curriculum

Self-paced , on-demand eLearning (1 hour)

The eLearning module provides a comprehensive introduction to Responsible AI, covering foundational concepts and their alignment with SAFe practices. The eLearning includes several pre-work assignments intended to fully prepare students for the facilitated session — including researching current RAI practices in your organization, reviewing example policies, and ensuring access to a generative AI tool for practical exercises.

Activity 1 – Identifying Stakeholders (~30 minutes)

As future change agents and advocates for RAI, one of the first and most important tasks is to think about the people in an organization who would need to be involved in implementing RAI, what their responsibilities would be, as well as their top concerns. Learners will leave this activity with an actionable stakeholder map for future initiatives.

Activity 2 – Evaluating RAI Policies (~25 minutes)

Get hands-on experience using GenAI applications such as SAFe CoPilot and ChatGPT to apply critical thinking to an example set of policy elements in an RAI plan, identifying improvements needed for organizational fit.

Activity 3 – Communicating the Need for RAI (~30 minutes)

Become empowered to effectively communicate the need for Responsible AI (RAI), the goals of
an RAI initiative, and the alignment of an RAI initiative with organizational objectives through a concise “elevator pitch” activity.

Activity 4 – Writing an RAI Epic Hypothesis Statement (~35 minutes)

Practice identifying an actionable element of an RAI implementation that requires a significant effort by one or more Value Streams, and scoping that effort using a SAFe Epic hypothesis statement.

Course Curriculum

Self-paced , on-demand eLearning (1 hour)

The eLearning module provides a comprehensive overview of the responsibilities of key agile roles including Business Owner, Product Owner (PO), Scrum Master/Team Coach (SM/TC), Product Manager, Release Train Engineer (RTE), System Architect, and SAFe Practice Consultant (SPC), as well as the concept of Customers and end users in a government context. Several lessons and four self-reflection activities provide the perfect preparation for your facilitated session.

Activity 1 – Key Agile Roles in Government (~55 minutes)

To fully understand agile roles in government, you need to start with the SAFe concept of Flow. This activity reviews the eight properties of flow-based systems before discussing the activities, decisions, and other aspects of several agile roles and responsibilities.

Activity 2 – Activities of Agile Roles in Government (-45 minutes)

PI Planning is an integral event within SAFe. Our second activity provides hands-on experience assigning PI cycle activities to the appropriate role, teaching participants to identify shared activities and dependencies between roles and activities, including how to incorporate additional government requirements into the cycle.

Activity 3 – Government Scenario (~27 minutes)

Executive orders are commonplace in a government context – and often disrupt planned work. This activity reviews the options for addressing an executive order that disrupts planned work by teaching participants to identify who is involved in replanning work and developing and communicating a strategy when plans need to change.

Activity 4 – Anti-patterns & The Changing Role of Government Leadership (~65 minutes)

With more than a decade of agile transformations, we understand the typical challenges that can impede an agile acquisition. This discussion based activity helps agilists operating in a government context prevent or mitigate common challenges that run counter to Lead-Agile practices.

–Transformative Insights: Discover the kinds of insights flow metrics can provide and how these insights can be used to make informed decisions, prioritize work, and drive continuous improvement.
