Just Imagine...
Wouldn't it be great if your organization could flexibly anticipate market needs? If innovation was part of the DNA of your departments? What if support came up with actionable solutions before people in the line had a clear understanding of the need? If teams would come together to manage dependencies, solve bottlenecks, and combat risks? This is what you are aiming for when you start working with SAFe®.
Using Agile and Scrum in teamwork is becoming increasingly widespread. Teams organize themselves and are able to adapt flexibly to the wishes of their customer. But what if you are in an organization in which development initiatives of eight or more teams on one product or service are no exception. What if there is a clear need for coordination across multiple teams? What if managing a broad portfolio of change initiatives presents challenges? Then the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®) offers a nice toolbox to tackle those challenges.
