Although the Scaled Agile Framework\u00ae (SAFe\u00ae) has helped define your role as a Release Train Engineer, it\u2019s hard to say whether it paints a complete picture of the monumental task you\u2019re up against each day. Responsible for the successful planning and execution of an Agile Release Train, you help to coordinate teams of teams to ensure PIs run smoothly and resources are perfectly allocated to meet delivery timelines. Beyond this, you\u2019re in charge of leveling up status and progress information to portfolio and company leadership while also distilling down priorities and strategic guidance from leadership to the teams.<\/p>

In order to do your job effectively, you need end-to-end visibility into all aspects of the release train (or trains) you help orchestrate and a means of sharing insights with others. This can only be accomplished when all the elements of a release train, and associated data, can be intelligently connected.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/span>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
