In February 2026, Scaled Agile decided to refresh its leading course, renaming it AI-Empowered Leading SAFe, where students will combine Lean-Agile knowledge with practical use of AI in various business situations. It should be noted that this is not a simple name change, as the entire course, practice test, and certification assessment have been updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Leading_SAFe_Changes_2026\"><\/span>Leading SAFe Changes 2026\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The updated<strong> Leading SAFe 2026 <\/strong>program simplifies a few key lessons and adds some AI education on the journey. The aim is not to turn people into AI experts, but to show them how AI can help them do their jobs effectively in a SAFe setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The assessment has also been updated. The SAFe&nbsp;Agilist exam and practice test now include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>SAFe with AI<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prompting AI<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Responsible AI<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The format is the same: 45 questions in 90 minutes.
