SAFe® DevOps Certification Course Overview
The SAFe DevOps course is delivered in an instructor-led format, either in person or via live online delivery. Tuition includes access to SAFe Studio, which provides the digital course workbook, supporting learning resources, and a practice exam. The cost of the SAFe® DevOps Practitioner (SDP) certification exam is included in the tuition, with no separate exam or registration fees.
Upon successful completion, participants are eligible to take the SAFe® DevOps Practitioner certification exam and apply DevOps practices that improve delivery speed, quality, and resilience across the enterprise.
The Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®) recognizes that delivering value at scale requires more than Agile planning and execution. It requires a continuous flow of value from idea to release supported by strong engineering practices, effective collaboration, and a culture that enables fast, reliable delivery. SAFe DevOps integrates development, operations, security, and compliance into a cohesive system that supports frequent, high-quality releases aligned to business objectives.
The SAFe® DevOps course introduces the CALMR approach; Culture, Automation, Lean flow, Measurement, and Recovery as the foundation for improving the Continuous Delivery Pipeline. Rather than prescribing tools, the course focuses on principles, practices, and behaviors that help organizations reduce cycle time, improve quality, and respond quickly to change while
maintaining operational stability.
Grounded in the Scaled Agile Framework® from Scaled Agile, Inc., this course provides practical guidance for improving flow across the delivery pipeline and establishing DevOps as an enterprise capability, not a siloed technical function.
