Agile software engineering describes the modern practices that reliably and predictably create quality software-centric systems. These practices originated with eXtreme Programming (XP) but have significantly evolved over the past two decades.

SAFe has several articles and video blogs that describe these development best practices. This article is a landing page to help you access SAFe’s Agile software engineering content.

Agile Software Engineering Video Blogs

One such asset is the Agile software engineering video blog series. In this series, Ken Pugh, a leading Agile thought leader and author, provides a comprehensive video overview of modern practices taken in part from SAFe’s Agile Software Engineering course. Each entry has a blog description and a short video of the specific content. Links to each blog article and a direct link to the associated video are provided in the table below:
