Scaling Agile Now

Scaling Agile

Achieving business agility and the benefits of Lean-Agile development at scale is not a trivial effort, so SAFe is not a trivial framework.

While Agile principles and working methods have become mainstream, maximizing the benefits of an Agile way of working in large organizations has turned out to be no small feat.

One of the major challenges is that corporate bureaucracy gets in the way if the Agile mind-set is not embraced throughout all levels of the organization.

full organizational change

Before realizing SAFe’s rewards, organizations must embrace a Lean-Agile Mindset as well as understand and apply Lean-Agile principles.

Real change depends on a transformation that is far more radical than improvement at a team level. Small, autonomous teams will not be able to deliver fast value if surrounding processes (e.g., investment funding and portfolio management) still apply long planning cycles.

Organisations must identify Value Streams and Agile Release Trains (ARTs), implement a Lean-Agile portfolio, build quality in, and establish the mechanisms for continuous value delivery and DevOps. And, of course, the culture must evolve as well. 

safE® Implementation roadmap

The SAFe Implementation Roadmap consists of an overview graphic and a 12-article series that describes a strategy and an ordered set of activities that have proven to be effective in successfully implementing SAFe.

Based on proven organizational change management strategies, the SAFe Implementation Roadmap graphic and article series describes the steps or “critical moves” an enterprise can take to implement SAFe in an orderly, reliable, and successful fashion.
