Prepare in season. Lead with confidence. Execute at scale.

ART Leader is designed for professionals ready to lead Agile Release Trains and shape product strategy inside enterprise SAFe® environments. This accelerator focuses on capability, clarity, and confidence—not fluff, not extras.

What You’ll Learn

🔹 SAFe® Release Train Engineer (RTE)

How to lead and operate an Agile Release Train at scale

In the RTE portion of ART Leader, you will learn how to:

• Lead PI Planning end-to-end with confidence and authority

• Facilitate ART events, ceremonies, and syncs that drive execution

• Manage dependencies, risks, and impediments across multiple teams

• Partner with Product Management, System Architects, and Business Owners

• Establish flow, predictability, and transparency at the program level

• Navigate real-world ART challenges (misalignment, overload, executive pressure)

• Operate as a servant leader and a strategic enabler

This is where you learn how RTEs actually function inside large organizations—not just how the framework says they should.

🔹 SAFe® Agile Product Management (APM)

How to translate strategy into value-driven product outcomes

In the APM portion of ART Leader, you will learn how to:

• Apply Design Thinking to identify real customer problems

• Define and communicate product vision and strategy

• Create roadmaps that balance business priorities and capacity

• Use economic prioritization to guide decision-making

• Align features and epics to enterprise objectives

• Collaborate effectively with RTEs, Product Owners, and executives

• Measure outcomes using value-based metrics—not just output

This is where you learn how product leaders influence direction, funding, and outcomes across the enterprise.

How RTE + APM Work Together

ART Leader intentionally combines RTE and APM because enterprise execution fails when these roles are disconnected.

In this accelerator, you will understand:

• How RTEs and APMs partner to drive flow and value

• Where responsibilities overlap—and where they should not

• How strategy becomes execution across the ART

• How leadership alignment prevents delivery breakdowns

You won’t just know the roles—you’ll understand the system.

Who This Accelerator Is For

ART Leader is ideal if you are:

• Moving into or already operating in RTE or APM roles

• Supporting large-scale Agile or SAFe transformations

• Seeking clarity, confidence, and credibility at the program level

• Ready to lead beyond team-level execution
