SAFe® for Architects (ARCH) Training

Course Description

In this course, you’ll gain practical skills to contribute to PI Planning, support DevOps and release on demand, and guide the architectural runway across multiple Agile Release Trains (ARTs). Designed for enterprise-level impact, this course shows you how to provide architectural leadership across the organization—not just within a single team. You’ll learn to connect architecture to business value, support strategic themes, and coordinate across value streams and portfolios.

Through a comprehensive curriculum, you’ll explore how to lead and align architecture with strategic themes, contribute to solution vision and roadmaps, and manage the continuous flow of work through the delivery pipeline. Topics include DevOps support, solution intent, enabler epics, non-functional requirements, and the architect’s critical role in PI Planning and execution.

With a strong focus on practical application, you’ll work through guided exercises and real-world examples to build actionable plans you can immediately bring back to your organization. You’ll leave prepared to lead architectural initiatives that drive alignment, agility, and sustainable value delivery across the enterprise.
