AI-Empowered SAFe® Release Train Engineer (RTE) Aug 17, 2026 - Aug 19, 2026 (NZ) (Online) (English)
The RTE role is one of the most misunderstood—and most critical—in a SAFe transformation.
It’s not just about running events.
It’s about creating alignment, removing friction, and helping an entire system work better together.
This course is designed to help you do exactly that.
In this three-day, highly interactive experience, you’ll learn how to lead and coach Agile Release Trains (ARTs) while also learning how to use AI to enhance your effectiveness, improve decision-making, and uncover patterns you might otherwise miss.
You’ll leave better equipped to facilitate, coach, and guide teams and leaders toward stronger outcomes.
What You’ll Learn (and apply)
- How to lead the Agile Release Train
Facilitate key events like PI Planning and create alignment around a shared mission and vision. - How to improve flow across teams
Manage dependencies, remove impediments, and foster collaboration across the ART. - How to coach for continuous improvement
Help teams and leaders inspect, adapt, and improve in a meaningful way—not just go through the motions. - How to use AI to amplify your impact
Apply practical AI techniques to identify risks, analyze patterns, and accelerate problem-solving.
What Makes This Course Different
Most RTE courses focus on the mechanics of the role.
This one focuses on how to be effective in the role in a real organization.
We combine:
- Practical facilitation and coaching techniques
- Real-world patterns for managing complexity at scale
- Ways to use AI to enhance visibility, insight, and decision-making
The goal is to help you become an RTE who doesn’t just run the train—but helps it continuously improve and deliver value.
Topics We’ll Work Through
- Organizing and launching the ART
- Facilitating PI Planning and key events
- Supporting PI execution
- Optimizing flow across teams and systems
- Driving relentless improvement
- Coaching teams, stakeholders, and leaders
- Applying AI to enhance the RTE role
What You Get
- Three days of interactive, instructor-led training
- Digital workbook and course materials
- One year of access to SAFe resources and community
- Eligibility to take the SAFe Release Train Engineer (RTE) certification exam
(You’ll gain the certification—but more importantly, the confidence to actually do the job well.)
Why It Matters
ARTs don’t struggle because teams don’t work hard.
They struggle because alignment breaks down, dependencies slow things down, and problems stay hidden too long.
Great RTEs change that.
This course helps you:
- Create alignment across teams and stakeholders
- Surface and manage risks earlier
- Improve flow and reduce friction
- Coach teams toward better outcomes
- Use AI to enhance visibility and accelerate decision-making
