The Release Train Engineer (RTE) can work with Lean-Agile Leaders to help eliminate policies and procedures that demotivate employees. Lean-Agile Leaders play a crucial role in driving the Lean-Agile transformation within an organization. They are responsible for the adoption, success, and ongoing improvement of Lean-Agile methods and practices. Moreover, they are instrumental in changing the mindset and culture of the organization to one that fosters empowerment and motivation1.

Lean-Agile Leaders are expected to lead by example, embodying the principles and values of SAFe and creating an environment where employees are motivated and engaged. They have the authority and influence to change policies and procedures that may be detrimental to employee morale and motivation. By collaborating with RTEs, who are the servant leaders and coaches for the Agile Release Train (ART), Lean-Agile Leaders can ensure that the ART’s processes and practices align with the Lean-Agile mindset and principles, thereby eliminating demotivating policies and procedures1.
