The document discusses the challenges and progress of adopting an Agile framework called SAFE at a company's Digital Factory. Some of the initial challenges included understanding Agile methods like squads, tribes, and chapters. Experiences showed that Agile work requires clear rules, training, coaching, and spatial proximity. However, fun was also found to be fundamental. Over time, the Digital Factory scaled to include 150 colleagues across 6 holding companies, with over 5000 post-its pinned, 200 trained in Agile, and 500+ user stories completed in the first year.
