For implementing scaled agile methodologies, many companies choose to use Jira software in combination with an agile framework such as SAFe®. To simplify the configuration of Jira, we at catworkx have developed the “Teamworkx Scaling Agile Blueprint” for SAFe®. We will present this solution in a live demo during the session.
In the Expert Talk, the basic elements of Lean Portfolio Management will be explained to you using SAFe® as an example. In addition, you will be shown in a live demo how these elements can be implemented in Jira Align from Atlassian.
catworkx is now an Agile Hive Partner of //SEIBERT/Media. Agile Hive is a Jira app that supports agile teams and programs in scaled agile development. This single app solution makes it possible to map SAFe with its artifact hierarchy in Jira.
catworkx is now a Scaled Agile Bronze Partner. Scaled Agile, Inc. is the provider of SAFe®, the world’s leading framework for business agility. The global network includes transformation and platform providers that help organizations facilitate and accelerate the achievement of business outcomes through the adoption of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®).
Under the motto “Behind the scenes” we would like to introduce our Process Consulting team to you this time. Our process consultants are communication, method and tool professionals – they advise, support and analyse. The job as a consultant at catworkx: a versatile and challenging activity. We asked our colleague Christoph Piotrowski, Head of Process Consulting at catworkx.
The hard work and intensive training period has paid off. About two years ago, catworkx started to invest significantly in employee training in the area of agile methodology consulting and was the only German Platinum Partner to be admitted to Atlassian’s official Jira Align Training and Early Access Program (EAP) – both of which were successfully completed.
It is with great regret that catworkx has decided to cancel the catworkx Round Table on April 9th. The reason for this is the unclear situation regarding the worldwide development of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (coronavirus). The health of the participants, customers and employees has priority and the risk of a possible infection should be avoided…
The PI Planning (Program Increment Planning – central synchronization meeting) within SAFe® can also be carried out successfully and cost-savingly in the remote version. In our webinar, speaker Christoph Piotrowski (SAFe® Program Consultant and Agile Coach at catworkx) will show which tools can be used to make PI planning work from a distance and thus strengthen the cohesion across team boundaries.
The American market research and IT consulting firm Gartner has evaluated Atlassian’s Jira Align as the leading solution for agile planning tools for companies and named Atlassian the “Magic Quadrant Leader in Enterprise Agile Planning Tools”.
In January 2020 Scaled Agile releases the new version of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®), which supports companies worldwide in implementing agile methods. The new version 5.0 contains extensive changes, which are also incorporated into the associated training courses. catworkx offers an updated version of the training to become a certified SAFe® Scrum Master.
