Why Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) ?
SAFe is the future to achieve enterprise agility and economics of scale, scaling agility synchronized at team, program and portfolio levels.
- Our modern world runs increasingly on software
- Keeping pace (time to market) requires that we build ever-larger and more complex systems with an ever-larger number of practitioners
- Our prior development – Waterfall, RAD, Iterative & Incremental (RUP) – can’t keep pace.
- Agile demonstrates the greatest promise but was developed for smaller team environments
- What we need is a “style change”, a new approach – one that harnesses the power of agile and lean thinking – for the needs of enterprise agility
SAFe is a proven, publicly facing framework for applying Lean & Agile practices at Enterprise scale
Value Proposition
- It synchronizes alignment, collaboration and delivery at 3 tiers in your organization, Portfolio, Large Solutions & Essential (Agile Release Train) levels
- Well defined & described in books and on the web (www.scaledagileframework.com)
- Scales enterprise initiatives successfully to a larger number of practitioners and teams without imposing undesired overhead
- Increases the throughput & quality of your team deliverables by applying Agile Lean principles not only on team levels, but also for programs as well as portfolio levels.
- Forces Portfolio level to stay true to their strategy by enforcing bottom up planning from team levels to adjust scope rather than “top down” planning to “bite the bullet”
- Builds a comprehensive understanding with management (High risk stakeholders of an initiative) of the size & complexity of the initiative at hand, by putting tangible size estimates and economical prioritization on features agreed with teams through a collective exercise.
