Course Overview
Simply put, a Release Train Engineer (RTE) or the SAFe® release train engineer is a servant leader and instructor for the Agile Release Train (ART). The responsibilities include coordinating, assisting, and mentoring teams according to Lean/Agile concepts. The trains cannot operate and drive themselves despite having self-managing and organizing teams. Here the RTE’s role, as a servant leader, is most effective. They know how to scale Lean and Agile principles and are aware of the specific opportunities and difficulties that come with supporting and synchronizing a large development program.
