The document discusses the need for scaling agile frameworks in organizations. It defines agile as a mindset that values principles over practices and tools. This mindset requires changing organizational culture. The document then introduces the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFE) as one approach to scaling agile through defined roles at the program level. Finally, it notes that agile is difficult, requires more than just processes, and changes how an organization works by aligning it around a shared purpose.

Key notes
Agile is not easy
Agile is more than team based process
Agile is more than process
Agile changes the way you work
Agile aligns the organisation around its purpose, empowers staff to
master excellence and gives you the space to do your job.
Agile is based upon human values
Honesty, Trust, Courage, Respect, and Service
Agile gives competitive advantage
Agile is here to stay
Lets first talk on why do we need agile, lets listen from audience.
Ask legacy systems were created, they were still successful but why agile?
I want to talk about agile scaling to 140 - 150 people and 8-12 teams
SCRUM does create an environment a bit like a start-up AND IT WORKS
One person decides
9 people of less
Value created in less than a month
No dependencies (good luck with that one)
No PROJECT MANAGER but PROJECT MANAGEMENT occurs:
Removing impediments
Communication progress
Managing stakeholders
Ensuring project meets objective
In this model everyone outside the team is an impediments
Roles like BA, PMO, Arch are lost
This agile mind comes from both adoption and transformation
First... Let’s understand the two terms that often used interchangeably
Agile Adoption is about what we do...practices, tools, techniques, ceremonies, and habits
Agile Transformation is about who we are...reflected in both the structure of the organization and who we are as people, the culture
That is scaled agile
For long term success organizations need both adoption and transformation
In safe – we try build cultural change, by first changing the leaders
SAFE defines 9 roles at a program level.
First step of safe implementation starts with leading safe trainings at leadership level, then educate Pos and PMs, Agile coaches and SMs
RTE facilitates the Program Increment – I wonder who this could be!!
