🌍 The Future of Program Leadership is Fusion

In January 2026, we launch something the industry has been missing: the Program Leadership Institute Certification.

What makes this different? It’s the fusion of worlds that rarely come together in one program:

✨ Leadership Foundations — timeless principles of influence, vision, and stakeholder engagement. (As John Maxwell says, “Everything rises and falls on leadership.”)

✨ Program Management Best Practices — grounded in global standards and the Program Management Body of Knowledge, but taught with pragmatism, not dogma.

✨ Personal Experience — hard-earned lessons from my own career leading programs in global firms and guiding organizations as CEO.

✨ Agile & Hybrid Perspectives — with insights from top Agile coaches, showing how program leadership thrives in predictive, agile, and blended contexts.

✨ Residency-Style Application — participants bring real-world projects, apply programmatic structure, present them, and get critiqued in a supportive but challenging environment.

This is more than management.
This is about becoming a true program leader:

Influencing across silos

Orchestrating diverse stakeholder interests

Seeing programs as vehicles for strategy, not just collections of projects

Building confidence to step into executive conversations

📅 Schedule:

Core sessions: 1st & last Saturdays, Jan–Mar 2026 (3 hrs each)

Optional peer Saturdays for study & collaboration

April–June: coaching, mentorship, and capstone presentations

Outcome: 35+ hours of training, applied practice, and leadership growth

🔥 Early Bird Pricing: $999 for the full 6 months.
Seats will fill fast, and pricing will increase.

📧 Register your interest today: support@praizion.com

👉 2026 is the year to amp up your leadership. This certification brings together the best of all worlds — leadership, management, agility, and real-world practice — in one powerful experience.

🚫 Why SAFe Certification Might Hurt Your Resume in 2025 🚫

There is nothing "safe" about it. I have a lot to unpack about this. Video here:

lnkd.in/gRsKrdrj



Interview with Rob a former SAFe consultant:

lnkd.in/gYivDdhc



Expansive Paper with Case-studies - Safe Delusion:

lnkd.in/gNu9qgXk

www.safedelusion.com

More and more Agile leaders are steering clear of SAFe certs — and here’s why:

🔹 It signals bureaucracy over true agility

🔹 Contradicts core Agile values (think: top-down vs. empowered teams)

🔹 Pigeonholes you into slow-moving, enterprise roles

🔹 Seen as “Agile theater” by product-led, lean orgs

🔹 Cert fatigue is real — experience > badges



Summary of the opinions from key Agile leaders

🔴 Ken Schwaber (Co-creator of Scrum, Agile Manifesto Signatory)

Critique: SAFe is like RUP (Rational Unified Process)—a heavy, outdated methodology.

Key Point: It suffocates teams by replacing empiricism with predictability.

Quote: "The people doing the work are the people who can best figure out how to do it. The job of management is to help them—not to suffocate them with SAFe."

Verdict: Philosophical misalignment between Scrum and SAFe.

🔴 Jeff Sutherland (Co-creator of Scrum, Agile Manifesto Signatory)

Critique: SAFe is inconsistent with the Scrum Guide and codifies dysfunctions that cripple teams.

Key Point: Heavily prescriptive, limits team empowerment, and undermines agility.

Verdict: Anti-Scrum and not truly Agile.

🔴 Mike Beedle (Co-author of the Agile Manifesto, early Scrum pioneer)

Critique: SAFe is not Agile and contradicts every Agile value.

Key Point: Called out Agile Release Trains as violations of Agile principles.

Verdict: SAFe is a framework of dysfunction, not agility.

🔴 Alistair Cockburn (Agile Manifesto Signatory)

Critique: SAFe wastes money that could be better spent improving collaboration and delivery.

Quote: “Stopped defending SAFe. There is a better way to spend the money.”

Verdict: Expensive distraction from real Agile transformation.

🔴 Martin Fowler (Agile Manifesto Signatory, Chief Scientist at ThoughtWorks)

Critique: Publicly expressed strong dislike for SAFe at industry events.

Alignment: ThoughtWorks (his company) advises against SAFe due to observed harm across clients.

Verdict: Incompatible with real Agile.

🔴 Ron Jeffries (Agile Manifesto Signatory)

Critique: Long, detailed critiques of SAFe published—but ignored.

Key Point: Issues have worsened in later SAFe versions.

Verdict: Deep structural problems persist.

🔴 Andy Hunt (Agile Manifesto Signatory)

Critique: “SAFe is not Agile.”

Key Point: Knows professionals who’ve built careers cleaning up after SAFe failures.

Verdict: Not aligned with Agile values or results.

🔴 Brian Marick (Agile Manifesto Signatory)

Critique: Describes SAFe as prescriptive, rigid, anti-collaborative.

Key Point: Encourages rule-following rather than co-creating tacit knowledge.

Verdict: Works against Agile’s intent.
