The document discusses how to safely scale agile practices across large enterprises. It introduces the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) as one approach for coordinating multiple agile teams and managing value streams at the program and portfolio levels. SAFe has evolved since its introduction in 2009 and is now at version 4. It operates at three levels - team, program, and portfolio - to help organizations scale their agile approach while maintaining agile benefits like adapting to change. The document recommends SAFe for enterprises seeking to consistently deliver value across their offerings through coordinated agile practices at multiple levels of the organization.
