SAFe^® 5.1 for Government Certification Training

With digital transformation, instant access for government information and services, greater accountability in spending, security threats, and outdated legacy systems are some of the critical factors initiating the need for change in the public sector. Though government agencies relied on technology with traditional approaches, it may not be sufficient to address a gaping hole to develop and sustain new 21st century solutions that keep on evolving at a rapid pace.
