The Release Train Engineer (RTE) oversees multiple agile teams working on various components of a larger mission. As the scrum master of an Agile Release Train (ART), the RTE is responsible for managing budgets, timelines, scope, dependencies, and communication across projects. The RTE helps adapt SAFe practices and drives continuous development while also coaching others in the new processes.

DIGITAL EXPERIENCE SOLUTIONS RELEASE TRAIN ENGINEER
RELEASE TRAIN ENGINEER (RTE) Their primary function is to be a technical program leader and scrum master to a long-lived team of smaller agile teams referred to as Agile Release Trains, or ARTs. RTEs oversee 50-125 persons who are working on various components (projects) of a greater mission, which may occur simultaneously. Formally, the RTE was simply a scaled scrum master; however, the practicality of the role tends to take on a broader footprint. A Release Train Engineer (RTE) operates in a SAFe environment.

SAFe: DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT
RELEASE TRAIN ENGINEER (RTE) The RTE has overall responsibility for the following across a group of projects: • Managing Budget • Timelines • Scope • Dependencies • Most importantly, communication • Help adapt SAFe to the organization, standardizing and documenting practices • RTEs help manage risks, escalate impediments, and drive continuous development. • May also participate in the Lean-Agile transformation, coaching leaders, teams, and Scrum Masters in the new processes and mindsets.

ADDITIONAL ROLES Agile Release Train (ART):  Teams of smaller agile teams, bonded by one mission.  They provide regular cadence for planning, development and retrospective for their individual projects.  Their development flow for each project is continuous and aligns with the traditional agile approach of operating in two week sprint cycles  Value Stream Engineer (VSE):  Performs a more complimentary role in the development process.  Manages and consults with ARTs to align development process with value-adding features  Helps to also manage risks, escalate impediments, and drive continuous development alongside RTE.
THE RELEASE TRAIN ENGINEER HAS A HAND ON THE THROTTLE OF THE AGILE RELEASE TRAIN, BUT JUST LIKE THE ENGINEER ON THE FREIGHT TRAIN THEY ARE ONLY ONE PART OF THE PROCESS THAT THAT DECIDES SPEED AND DIRECTION. LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS INSPECT THEIR TRAINS, MONITOR PERFORMANCE, COMMUNICATE AND INTERACT WITH TEAM MEMBERS AND PASSENGERS. THEY SUPPORT GETTING THE TRAIN TO ITS APPOINTED DESTINATION NOT ONLY ON-TIME BUT SAFELY.
RTE SUMMARY A Release Train Engineer (RTE) is one of the techniques utilized by the Scaled Agile Framework Enterprise (SAFe). The role of the Release Train Engineer (RTE) is to keep a number of projects or scrum teams on track to deliver. You will find a RTE in an environment that is employing scaled agile. These may be larger, more complex agile technology environments.

  2. The SAFe framework takes the traditional agile framework and extrapolates its functions on a grander scale: There are a greater number scrum teams that work on a specific feature of a greater component of an intiative Neighborhood development

  5. Portfolio manager Program manager (Example RTE) - managerial experience - scrum mastery - SAFe competence: it is a way to scale agile. Larger companies. technique for developing a product - overseeing a group of projects on budget, on time on a more aggregated level.
