Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)

A widely adopted approach for scaling Agile practices across large organizations so many teams can deliver together.

Key Points

  • Aligns multiple teams on a shared cadence using Agile Release Trains (ARTs).
  • Uses Program Increment (PI) planning to set near-term objectives and synchronize delivery.
  • Combines Lean and Agile principles to improve flow, quality, and continuous learning.
  • Provides roles, events, and artifacts across team, program, and portfolio levels to coordinate enterprise work.

Example

A company with 12 development teams adopts SAFe. They form two ARTs, run two-day PI Planning every quarter to agree on objectives, visualize dependencies across teams, and deliver integrated features on a common iteration cadence.

PMP Example Question

A PMO needs a way to coordinate dozens of Agile teams, synchronize delivery on a common cadence, and run regular PI Planning. Which approach best fits?

  1. Scrum
  2. Kanban
  3. Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)
  4. Extreme Programming (XP)

Correct Answer: C — Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)

Explanation: SAFe is designed to apply Agile at enterprise scale, aligning many teams through ARTs and PI Planning.

ICS/OT Cybersecurity Fundamentals — Security Built for Industrial Systems

Industrial control systems cannot be secured like ordinary IT. A forced reboot, aggressive scan, or incompatible patch can interrupt production and create real safety consequences. Effective OT security begins with understanding the systems, constraints, and risks unique to industrial environments.

This course gives IT professionals, engineers, operators, and security practitioners a practical foundation in ICS threats, zone and conduit design, risk assessment, passive asset visibility, and vendor evaluation. You will learn how IEC 62443, NIST CSF, and MITRE ATT&CK for ICS apply where availability and safety come first.

Eight reconstructed incidents—including Stuxnet, Triton, Ukraine 2015, Colonial Pipeline, and PIPEDREAM—show how attackers move through OT environments, what they target, and which defenses could have changed the outcome.

Watch the course preview, then build the vocabulary, frameworks, and judgment needed to take credible first steps in ICS/OT cybersecurity.

Build an ICS/OT cybersecurity foundation that fits the real environment

Standard IT controls can disrupt the industrial systems they are meant to protect. Learn how to assess OT risk, design zones and conduits, apply IEC 62443 security levels, use MITRE ATT&CK for ICS, and establish passive asset visibility without risking production. Eight reconstructed incidents connect attacker techniques to the controls that failed, giving you the vocabulary and judgment to make credible security decisions from day one.
