The document provides an introduction to the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). It discusses that SAFe was developed to help agile scale for large organizations as traditional structures do not support innovation, speed and agility at scale. SAFe combines agile with systems thinking and lean product development. The core of SAFe is the Program level which revolves around Agile Release Trains (ARTs) consisting of cross-functional self-organizing teams that deliver working solutions every 2 weeks through planning events.

SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) 5 mins overview - Roni TamariAgileSparks
Why Scale? When choose each scaling approach? SAFe? LeSS? Enterprise Kanban? Other? Scaling experts will compare the different approaches, share from their experience and answer questions from the audience
This is the SAFe section presented by Roni Tamari
Deconstructing the scaled agile framework - Lunch and Learn seriesAngela Dugan
Deconstructing the Scaled Agile Framework - boiling down the "big diagram" and talking about when and how SAFe *might* be an appropriate direction for you or your team. Also covers practices from SAFe that could be useful regardless of the size and complexity of your organization
Scaled agile framework (SAFe) is a framework for scaling agile development within large organizations. It includes principles and tools to implement agile at multiple levels - portfolio, value stream, program, and team. At the portfolio level, SAFe addresses budget, strategy, and governance. The program level works in larger teams called Agile Release Trains of 50-125 people to achieve Program Increment objectives over 5 iterations. Teams within programs work similarly to scrum teams in 2-week iterations. Epics are broken down into features, user stories, and tasks as they move from portfolio to program to team levels. SAFe provides a structure for implementing agile principles across multiple teams in a large organization.
A common practice among teams in IT companies adopting the latest trends, Agile can be scaled to enterprise level once applied properly. In this Innovation Session, Maduri Senadheera from the Project Management team talks about the Agile mindset, the need for scaling and the benefits of a Scaled Agile Framework for better aligning business processes.
Sa fe 4.0 implementing Enterprise Agile using the Scaled Agile Frameworkevatjohnson
The adoption of Agile is spreading across various industries, in organizations of all sizes. However, most experts agree that scaling Agile for enterprise use is a challenge. SAFe®, the Scaled Agile Framework, was created to resolve this problem. SAFe® provides a fully controlled way to adopt and scale Agile across large companies, and to align Agile processes to business strategy.
The Scaled Agile Framework's latest edition 4.0 introduces the optional Value Stream level to synchronize all the Agile Release Trains, as well as other updates compared to SAFe® 3.0. Our webinar helps you to learn more about implementing enterprise Agile with the Scaled Agile Framework, and the differences between SAFe®'s previous versions and its recently released 4.0.
Introduction to Scaled Agile Framework SAFeJosef Scherer
1. The document discusses the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), a framework for implementing agile practices in large organizations. It describes SAFe's roots in lean thinking and systems management.
2. SAFe is based on the concept of an "Agile Release Train" which coordinates multiple agile teams to deliver value through regular inspection and adaptation cycles. It aims to achieve speed, value and quality at scale through flow, cadence and synchronization.
3. The document outlines key SAFe roles like the Product Manager, Release Train Engineer, System Architect, and System Team which work together using SAFe principles and practices to continuously deliver working solutions.
Do you have highly functional scrum teams but are wondering how to get them to work in sync with each other, or wondering how get "start-up" efficiency in a large enterprise? Or maybe you just heard that the Scaled Agile Framework for the Enterprise (SAFe®) is gaining traction and you want to find out more about it. Before the year is out, we want to give you a primer on SAFe, so you can decide if it should be on your list of resolutions for the new year!
We continue to see that Agile and Scrum deliver value and are catching the eyes of leadership individuals. But how does a large enterprise thrive with a Scrum framework that was made for 5-9 individuals? SAFe has garnered a lot of attention as a potential framework for enterprises with large product teams (5 or more scrum teams on a product line). It calls for the overall alignment throughout the organization so that the Scrum teams making up a large product development team can deliver valuable, high quality product increments with transparency and technical excellence. The program execution is achieved by leveraging the existing Scrum Team practices and interfacing with the higher Program and Portfolio layers in the organization.
cPrime SAFe coach, Sri will provide an overview of the SAFe framework and show why it appeals not only to the engineers and architects, but also to the product management, customer support and the executive team.

Scaling approaches comparison - Lean/Agile US 2017Yuval Yeret
The document compares different approaches for scaling agile, including SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework), LeSS (Large Scale Scrum), and program/portfolio Kanban. It notes that most experts agree teams should only scale when they cannot effectively divide work. When dependencies exist between teams, options include SAFe, LeSS, or using a program/portfolio Kanban approach to visualize work. The document asks questions to help determine the best scaling approach based on factors like guidance needed, agility required, and leadership commitment to change.
#IBMInterConnect - DCB-3094 Scaling Agile - Launching an Agile Release Train ...Reedy Feggins Jr
In this talk we discuss some of the best practices we have learned for successfully Launching an ART. We discuss how Rational Team Concert (#RTC) can be used to help coordinate the various team activities such as use story analysis, portfolio program and sprint planning, and communicating with the PPM, Agile program and team.
The presentation is from the 2015 #ibminterconnect Conference #feggreed2021
DCB-3094 Scaling Agile Launching a SAFe Agile Release Train using Rational Team Concert – Lesson Learned
The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is an agile framework for enterprise-scale organizations. It addresses challenges of architecture, integration, funding, and roles at scale. SAFe has three levels - portfolio, program, and team. At the portfolio level, investment themes drive budget allocations. The program level uses Agile Release Trains of 5-10 teams to deliver value in 10 week iterations. Teams use Scrum or Kanban with 2 week iterations. SAFe aims to apply lean-agile principles at an enterprise scale.
Scaled Agile Framework, SAFe, has been adopted by organizations of domain ranging from finance, logistics, insurance and government. SAFe provides a framework to apply Lean and Agile practices at an enterprise level. But why use SAFe? In this interactive session based on Rishi Chaddha, SAFe consultant, experience in implementing SAFe in big financial institute. Going beyond the theory we will talk about the challenges faced when implementing SAFe in portfolio which includes hundred of people distributed worldwide. Each initiative in the portfolio can be worth from few thousand of dollars to millions of dollars. The talk will cover both the good and the bad and will show how to practically start SAFe transformation.
IBM DevOps - Adopting Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) WebinarReedy Feggins Jr
Reedy Feggins presents on scaling agile practices. He has over 15 years of software development experience including certifications in SAFe, Scrum, and Project Management. Innovation is increasingly driven by software, but software development faces challenges like changing requirements, unpredictable delivery, and high costs. Agile frameworks aim to address these challenges but don't scale beyond the team level. The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) provides a proven approach for applying agile practices at an enterprise scale through alignment, collaboration, and synchronized delivery across many teams. SAFe has helped other organizations increase productivity, speed time to market, and reduce defects.
The document discusses the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) for implementing agile practices in complex enterprise projects. It presents SAFe as an option for organizations that have multiple Scrum teams or one team with independent threads. The core values and principles of SAFe are described, including the release train, program increment planning, and that it focuses on Lean-Agile leadership. Some limitations are that SAFe requires Scrum practices within teams and training for both teams and management to understand and apply the framework effectively.
Scaling your agile implementation across multiple teams in large organizations is always a challenge.
In this webinar, Ragia and Asmaa shared their experiences about:
- Why scaling?
- Different scaling frameworks?
- SAFe configurations
- SAFe pros & cons

Building Your SAFe Implementation StrategyAlex Yakyma
The document discusses strategies for building a SAFe implementation, including defining the enterprise vision, creating an incremental rollout strategy, building a guiding coalition of leaders, organizing around value streams, executing the rollout incrementally, and addressing mindset and culture changes. It provides guidance on establishing a transformation team, training stakeholders, advocating for the changes, and focusing initially on the most important mindset issues.
What are the Steps to Becoming a Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) Trainer?Advance Agility
The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is a collection of best practices, principles and processes that enables large organizations at the project, program and portfolio level to adopt agile methodology to deliver products of highest quality faster. Unlike other popular agile frameworks like Scrum and Kanban which are effective at team level scaling. SAFe facilitates more than two teams to associate on projects, objectives and results through SAFe Strategic Themes. These strategic themes help align the business strategy of an organization with SAFe portfolio which influences portfolio vision, value stream budgets, large solutions, ART and team backlogs.
What are the Steps to Becoming a Successful SAFe Agile Coach?Advance Agility
Being one of the several frameworks of agile methodology, Scaled Agile Framework is used by top companies specifically to improve their scalability and encourage collaboration between disconnected agile teams. SAFe framework has become the standard and allows organizations to deliver larger by coordinating work streams. So, companies find it significant to hire SAFe trainers who are well versed with the SAFe framework and ways it can be applied according to the needs of the project development. This exponentially increased the demand for trainers who can train their agile teams to adapt, learn and apply practices in a tremendous way.

Provokative Aussagen wie „SAFe ist wie ein Parasit für die wirkliche Agilität” kann in Blogs und LinkedIn-Artikeln gefunden werden. Ist SAFe das Reich und die Basis des bösen Sauron?
Im Gegensatz dazu hat der „State of Agile Report” veröffentlicht, dass SAFe die beliebteste Methode ist, wenn es um die Skalierung agiler Methoden im gesamten Unternehmen geht - sie wird in 35% dieser agilen Initiativen eingesetzt! Auf der einen Seite scheint es ziemlich extreme Ansichten und sehr kritische Meinungen zu geben, wenn es um die Skalierung von Agile mit dem Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) geht. Auf der anderen Seite gibt es für die meisten großen multinationalen Unternehmen keine bessere Alternative: Banken, Versicherungen, Telekommunikationsriesen und viele mehr setzen SAFe ein, und das sogar erfolgreich!
In meinem Vortrag werden wir über unsere Besuche im Land von Mordor berichten! Ich möchte einen genaueren Blick auf die anhaltende Konfrontation über Skalierungsmethoden werfen, die die agile Welt heute durchlebt. Darüber hinaus werde ich definieren, was SAFe ist und was nicht, und schließlich werde ich einige der Hauptargumente untersuchen, die unsere agile Community polarisieren.

The agile transformation of your organization is on going and you want to know where you are, what your actors feel/need and how to deepen the expected value of your journey.
Let’s go through the Business Agility Assessment workshops.
As a consultant and an outer employee, other internal employees may create friction because of a way of working differences. To avoid this firstly agile consultant may start as an agile coach in an enterprise. Even if they start as an agile consultant they don’t get bothered by any differences from the team members and provide the specific and accurate set of solutions to issues they are hired for. Agile consultants have a thorough knowledge of applying and executing agile frameworks and streamlining processes.

2023-Pubcon Pro Austin - Navigating Egos Red Tape and Conflicting Priorities ...Keith Goode
No one doubts that business leadership is difficult. With the shifting landscapes of national and regional economies, fluctuating interest rates and their effects on consumer spending, supply chain issues, etc. being able to make quick decisions and shift a business’ focus are vital skills nowadays.
But how do shifting priorities affect SEOs and their ability to address elements like:
- Addressing Technical Debt
- Project Prioritization with other teams
- SEO industry updates and changes in the SERPs
- Creatively and compellingly meeting the needs of the users
- Promoting content and gaining equity
One consistent issue that in-house SEOs face, regardless of organization, is gaining the funding and priority they need in order to do their best work. From tool costs to development resources, there's always a shortage. How can we overcome these challenges? How can we avoid them to begin with?
In this session at Pubcon Pro 2023 in Austin, Texas, on Thursday, September 21, Keith Goode first addresses executives and corporate decision-makers and then SEOs, who are on the front lines of their organizations.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
