This document discusses concerns about scaling agile frameworks like SAFe. It acknowledges fears that SAFe is too rigidly defined and risks undermining agile principles. However, it argues that if implemented carefully with a focus on lean principles, leadership commitment to change, and respect for people and culture, SAFe can provide a reasonable starting point for scaling agile in large complex organizations. The best ways to address fears are to see healthy SAFe implementations in action or take a class on implementing SAFe from an experienced lean/agile trainer.
