SAFe provides patterns for successful retail rollouts by aligning business and IT to a common mission through coordinated planning and empowered decision making across minimum constraint programs. Quality is built-in through engineering practices, transparency, and thinking like customers from concept to creating experiences rather than just selling items.

3. Conway’s Law is the Limit
Constrained to produce designs which are
copies of the Communication Structure
Clarity from Portfolio
Competence at Team/Program
Decentralizing the Decision Making

4. But, It’s not just IT
Involve Business
Profit is when there is
customer/(s) ”buying”
Market Connect is non-negotiable

5. And, Alignment is the Key
Align to a common mission
Co-ordinated PI planning across
Programs
Empower to make decisions
Minimum Constraints

6. Thinking like a Customer
Who is my Customer?
Customer base is US
System Development is spread
across
Description of the Customer

7. Quality is Built-in
Not Tested at the END
Engineering Practices
Right Metrics and Measurements
Dashboards Available transparently

8. Working with Value Stream
Concept to Cash
From We “Sell” Items
To We “Create” experience
