Today, nearly every product requires a combination of technical disciplines to compete in the fast-paced market. Mechanics, electricity, electronics, and software must function together as a complete product offering. Solutions are highly complex, and competition makes delivering with long lead times unrealistic.
The recipe for success is not to specify thoroughly and integrate all disciplines in large chunks late in unique projects. Success stems from early and frequent integration, which enables an organization to learn and develop its capabilities.
Summary
The SAFe for Hardware Certification Course is a two-day course designed to expedite the seamless integration of SAFe principles into hardware development, accelerate delivery, and maintain flexibility while navigating the complexities of large system designs.
The training will guide you through the entire development value stream, from start to finish, and discuss how your multidisciplinary organization can overcome competition by developing a strategic capability to deliver better and faster.
Through “Training from the back of the room,” the participants will be involved in a learning process that creates insight and lasting knowledge. All course modules have been designed to include theory, practical exercises, dialogue, and reflection following our training concept.
In most organizations, the English concepts of the frameworks are used. Therefore, the course material is in English. We will speak English or Swedish during the course, depending on what we agree on in class.

Learning goals
After the course, participants should understand how organizations can effectively address uncertainty and digital disruption using the SAFe framework as their operating system, and be able to put the following concepts into action:
- Leveraging diverse solutions and focusing on interfaces enhances iterative processes in hardware development.
- Frequent delivery within a value stream is improved by cross-functional Agile teams and an incremental approach that embraces flexibility.
- Attention to non-functional requirements and collaboration with suppliers further strengthens system design.
- Integrating Lean-Agile contract approaches and built-in quality practices supports a Lean Quality Management System and successful change leadership.
Target audience
The following individuals benefit from taking the course:
- Systems engineers, architects, product managers, and program managers are responsible for delivering multi-disciplinary solutions.
- Engineering leaders and managers, looking to adopt Lean-Agile practices.
- Engineering practitioners (mechanical, electrical, software, etc.) seeking to apply a Lean-Agile approach to their current practices.
Course content
SAFe for Hardware includes:
- Two days of immersive, instructor-led training.
- 40% of the course is dedicated to collaborative, hands-on exercises that bring theory into practice.
- Group activities, where participants can apply Lean-Agile principles to real-world hardware challenges.
- A completion quiz can be retaken at no additional cost to demonstrate and validate understanding of the material.
Certfication
Those who complete all required elements will receive the SAFe® for Hardware (HW) certification and digital badge.
Prerequisites
We recommend that you be familiar with the development or operations of cyber-physical systems and have seen the challenges in coordinating multiple engineering disciplines for one joint solution. It is not a requirement, but it is beneficial if you understand the Lean-Agile mindset as described in the Scrum Guide.
