During a visit to LeanKit (The company behind the awesome visualization kanban tool LeanKit Kanban) this week I was asked to deliver a very short overview of SAFe, what trends I see in the market around it, how it connects to Kanban, etc. Here it is... Note this isn't self-explanatory. So if you're interested in what I meant to say here, reach out. Maybe I'll follow up with a blog post at some time if there's enough interest.

VERY Short Scaled Agile Framework
(SAFe®) Overview for LeanKit All
Hands

Some FUD you might have
encountered going on in the
industry…

“A Hard-coded Agile
Framework isn’t
Agile and hardly a
Framework”

SAFe is Linear and is
not ﬁt for dealing
with the Complex
Domain
Dave Snowden

“not only a betrayal of the promise
oﬀered by AGILE but is a massive
retrograde step giving the
managerial class an excuse to avoid
any signiﬁcant change”
Dave Snowden

You get the picture…
Let’s move to my perspecKve…

My take on a SAFe value statement…
For Early/late majority software/IT/technology-heavy enterprises
who Develop and maintain LARGE COMPLEX products or services
the Scaled Agile Framework
is a Collection of lean/agile process and implementation best
practices
that Helps these enterprises improve their business agility despite
huge change management and technology/process obstacles in
their context
Unlike Other scaling frameworks that assume the ability and willingness
to drive revolutionary dramatic change in the organization and
mostly ignore current culture and roles in the organization
our solution Is able to provide a reasonable evolutionary starting point to the
business agility journey flexible enough to allow organizations to
evolve towards a truly lean/agile enterprise. It provides people
currently holding roles in the organization a clear mapping to
their new role in the agile enterprise and a path to making this
change.

Start with what you have
Respect People & Process
EvoluKonary Change
Challenge the comfort zone in a
pragmaKc small-batch way.

VERY Short Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) Overview for Leankit All Hands Meeting

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.

El Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) es una base de conocimientos para adoptar métodos de trabajo ágiles en grandes organizaciones. SAFe presenta de forma gráfica un modelo de gestión para escalar la aplicación de las prácticas ágiles de un equipo a la gestión de programas, y de la gestión de programas al conjunto de la organización. Este modelo para la adopción y transformación ágil de las organizaciones fué diseñado por Dean Leffingwell, a partir de sus libros “Agile Software Requeriments: Lean Requeriments for Teams Programs and the Enterprise” y “Scaling Software Agility: Best Practices for Large Enterprise”, y se ha implementado con éxito en grandes organizaciones de todo el mundo. 60 de las 100 compañías más grandes de Estados Unidos están utilizando SAFe como guía de referencia para la adopción de Agile. El modelo de gestión propuesto por SAFe cubre el conjunto de la organización, desde los equipos, hasta los niveles de mayor responsabilidad. El modelo estructura en tres niveles: Equipo, Programa y Portfolio, aunque en la última versión, SAFe 4.0, introduce un 4º nivel opcional para soluciones de extremadamente grandes y complejas. Para cada uno de estos niveles SAFe define los roles, estructuras, actividades, artefactos, prácticas y técnicas adecuadas.

Angela Dugan

Just when companies seems to be warming up to agile, here comes SCALED agile. But how is SAFe really different than agile? Does using the SAFe framework undermine the scrum teams? Isn’t SAFe just a glorified version of waterfall that companies adopt when they can’t handle “real” agile? I decided the best solution was to go through the training and spend some time practicing it in the field. What I found was that SAFe leverages the best of Lean, Kanban, and scrum. SAFe is intended for large, enterprise customers delivering extremely complex and interdependent systems, but that doesn’t mean it offers nothing to smaller teams. Since becoming a Safe program consultant, I have coached a number of my smaller customers on improving their software development and delivery processes leveraging techniques from SAFe. In this interactive session, I plan to quickly walk through the tenets of SAFe, share some of my learnings with you, and help you to understand when and how SAFe can benefit your team!

VersionOne

Interested in finding out how to scale agile faster, easier and smarter using the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe)? If so, make sure you watch this two-part webinar series! Scrum, XP, Kanban and related methods have been proven to provide step changes in productivity and quality for software teams. However, these methods do not have the native constructs necessary to scale across the enterprise. What the industry desperately needs is a solution that moves from a set of simplistic, disparate, development-centric methods, to a scalable, unified approach that addresses the complex constructs and additional stakeholders in the organization – and accelerates the realization of enterprise-class product or service initiatives via aligned and cooperative solution development. Part I: Join Dean Leffingwell, software industry veteran and Lean Systems Society Fellow, for an overview of SAFe, a publicly–accessible knowledge base of proven lean and agile practices for enterprise-class software development. Dean Leffingwell, software industry veteran and Lean Systems Society Fellow, has spent his career helping software teams achieve their goals. A renowned methodologist, author, coach, entrepreneur and executive, Dean's most recent project is the Scaled Agile Framework (scaledagileframework.com), a public-facing website which describes a comprehensive system for scaling lean and agile practices to the largest software enterprises. Andy Powell is Product Evangelist for VersionOne and Scaled Agile Framework Program Consultant. During his 12-year career in the software development industry, Andy has assisted in numerous 500+ person agile tool rollouts with companies such as Siemens, Adobe, EMC and Sabre, giving him considerable experience in leading major projects. Andy received a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Notre Dame and graduated magna cum laude. Lee Cunningham is an Enterprise Agile Coach for VersionOne focused on agile program and portfolio management. Lee has trained and consulted with hundreds of teams in organizations of all sizes in the US, Canada and the UK. Lee served in the United States Air Force and earned a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from the University of North Florida.

Yuval Yeret

Please join us on Wednesday January 27 in Burlington MA starting at 6:30 pm as senior enterprise agility coach Yuval Yeret describes several techniques that can be used to produce a lasting and productive adoption of the Scaled Agile Framework. The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is a powerful and popular framework for implementing agile at large scale across the enterprise. However many organizations see their implementation of SAFe stall and even backfire since the adoption is mandated from its organizational leaders, instead of engaged teams participating and choosing their SAFe. In this talk we will examine some dangerous implementation anti-patterns as well as healthier alternatives. You will learn some concrete techniques that help live up to the Lean/SAFe principles of respecting and engaging people. We will discuss field-proven ideas such as pull-based crossing the chasm approach to implementation, use of open space as part of the different SAFe ceremonies, and how Open Space Agility can combine with SAFe.

Be agile. Scale up. Stay Lean with SAFe by Michael Stump

Agile ME

Today’s successful companies are recognizing that software is increasingly a competitive advantage for their business. Real, tangible software development value occurs only when end-users are successfully operating the software in their environment. To ensure a faster flow of value to the business, the Scaled Agile Framework helps teams successfully deliver a differentiated and engaging customer experience, achieve quicker time to value, and gain increased capacity to innovate. The process of deploying software builds to production is no less important than developing and testing the new functionality. As an industry, we are currently mastering more Agile, better and faster methods for incrementally developing potential user value. In practice, however, these achievements are jeopardized by poorly managed deployments that happen too late in the lifecycle and delays value delivery. Bringing deployment operations (DevOps) onboard the Agile Release Train, engaging them in the PSI planning and other program level events, and establishing environments, practices and disciplined procedures in support of a continuous deployment pipeline helps the enterprise enable faster feedback and a more predictable value delivery rhythm. Join Michael Stump (Principal Contributor to SAFe), Thought Leader from Scaled Agile Inc. and software industry veteran to get an in-depth overview of how SAFe together with DevOps can provide the most customer value and quality in the sustainable shortest lead time.

Eine Reise ins Land von Mordor: Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)

Agile Austria Conference

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.

Yuval Yeret

Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) are considered a “Modern operating system” by many companies and investors. But the typical implementation doesn’t deal well with the uncertainty and complexity involved in achieving the typical strategic objective whether it requires building a product, innovating a business model, or creating a new cross-functional company capability. In this talk, we will look at common anti-patterns involved in the typical OKR implementation and how the Scrum spirit can help OKR practitioners bring empiricism, empowerment, and continuous improvement to their OKR operating system. This talk is especially relevant to Scrum and Agile practitioners who are looking for creative ways to bring Scrum’s goodness we are so grateful for to the wider organization.

Validating Delivered Business Value – Going Beyond “Actual Business Value”

Yuval Yeret

Actual is a relative term when it comes to business value delivered by a SAFe PI Objective. In this talk we will explore techniques for validating the actual value delivered by SAFe Teams and ARTs based on real-world outcomes that can be evaluated post-release. RTEs, Product Management and Lean/Agile Leaders will be able to assess their current ability to validate value and learn specific practices they could add to their artifacts and events. Finally, we will take a deeper look at optionality and hypothesis-driven thinking in SAFe and challenge the comfort zone on how to properly use some of SAFe’s essential elements in this context. Learning Objectives: Assess their competency level of their ART/Program when it comes to ability to validate value Evolve their Inspect and Adapt events to enable validation value based on real outcomes Extend their Program and Portfolio Kanbans to help manage the flow of learning and validation.

In this session we will talk about Kanban-related myths prevalent in the Scrum world and identify common ground between them. We will look at ways to bring Kanban flow into your Scrum: the Kanban-based Sprint/product backlog, flow-based daily Scrum, visualizing aging work, and flow-based Sprint planning .We will describe ways to wrap Scrum with a Kanban flow system, and how DevOps fits into this picture. You’ll leave with a better understanding of how Scrum, Kanban, and DevOps relate to each other and with ideas for experiments to try when back at work.

Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) in the Trenches

SAFe for Marketing – Extending Towards Real Business Agility - Global SAFe Su...

Yuval Yeret

SAFe’s home turf is product/systems/applications development. Let’s talk about challenging this comfort zone by applying it in one of the core business functions – Marketing. Why? Because the marketing operating system is being disrupted and the larger the marketing organization the more it struggles to maintain relevancy and impact. More and more marketing organizations are seeing the impact of Agile and want to benefit as well. How should an organization using SAFe in R&D/IT look at Agile in Marketing? Is SAFe the right choice? Does it work “as is”? Are there any changes needed to support this new context? What are some lessons learned from trying this in the field? Learning Objectives and Key Takeaways: At some point in your enterprise transformation you should consider applying SAFe outside of Product Development/IT. Marketing is a great candidate for a next Value Stream to implement SAFe in. Agile Marketing is possible not just for small nimble companies but also for large organizations with hundreds of marketers and several legacy silos. SAFe provides a blueprint for how to achieve this. Understand the differences in applying SAFe outside of Product Development/IT and how to adjust the Big Picture / Implementation Roadmap to accommodate these differences. The ideal “Business Agility” state is actually to bring together Marketing, Product Management/Development, Sales into one Value Stream. This talk was delivered in the global SAFe Summit in DC in October 2018

Building Quality In in SAFe – The Testing Organization’s Perspective

Yuval Yeret

SAFe emphasizes Building Quality In. We will take a deep dive into how this looks from a testing organization’s perspective and what does a SAFe implementation mean for Testing/QA professionals. We will map SAFe’s approach to best practices in the “”Agile Testing”” world. We will look at examples from the real world of how traditional testing organizations shift left and evolve towards continuous testing. Learning Objectives and Key Takeaways: Understand how best practices from the “”Agile Testing”” world map to SAFe’s context Learn ideas and patterns for evolving Testing/QA’s role during a SAFe implementation Understand how Test-Driven looks like and how techniques like Acceptance-Test-Driven-Design/Behavior-Driven Development can empower testers as well as improve the flow on SAFe agile teams. See how SAFe’s principles can be used to guide the evolution towards a lean/agile testing organization

Scrum, Kanban, and DevOps Sitting in a Tree… - Big Apple Scrum Day 2018

Yuval Yeret

Scrum, Kanban, and DevOps Sitting on a Tree... (Learn how to leverage Kanban & Scrum together and how to fit DevOps into the picture)Should we use Scrum? Should we use Kanban? Where does DevOps fit into the picture? The best agile teams already know they don’t need to choose. Scrum teams improve when they start to look at flow inside and outside their sprints. Kanban teams improve when they have a disciplined cadence, and effective Product Ownership and Scrum Mastership. DevOps really is mainly about doing Agile the right way. In this session, we will look at a core definition of Scrum, Kanban & DevOps, do some myth-busting as well as identify the quite significant common ground between Scrum, Kanban and DevOps. We will then look at practical ways like the Kanban-based Sprint Backlog, Flow-based Daily Scrum, Visualizing aging work, Flow-based Sprint Planning - which bring some Kanban flow into your Scrum. We will look at how to bring Scrum roles/events/artifacts into your Kanban. We will look at ways to wrap Scrum with a Kanban Flow system that looks upstream/downstream and at the higher level picture of a DevOps Culture/Process. You’ll leave with a better understanding of how Scrum, Kanban, and DevOps relate to each other and with some ideas for experiments to try when back at work.

Yuval Yeret

Scaling agile can be overwhelming. In this tutorial, Yuval will provide an overview of the ten essential SAFe patterns, and highlight the diagnostic symptoms that appear when the patterns aren’t in place. Attendees will develop a personal “flash assessment” of their current work context and will be able to identify to “inspect and adapt” areas for improvement. They will also learn how to use this sort of assessment/patterns during their scaled agile journey. (This includes the Essential SAFe assessment toolkit provided by ScaledAgile)

Scrum and Kanban Sitting In A Tree...

Yuval Yeret

Scrum & Kanban - Better Together? Talk delivered at Agile Boston w/ Dave West of Scrum.org in October 2018 It's time to call an end to this stupid civil war within the agile camp. The best agile teams already know that it is not a choice between Scrum and Kanban, but they are complementary. Scrum teams improve when they start to look at flow inside and outside their sprints. Kanban teams improve when they have a disciplined cadence, and effective Product Ownership and Scrum Mastership. In this session, we will look at: Common Ground - The foundations that both approaches highlight Complementary Practices - what can we add from Kanban to our Scrum and vice versa Key differences - where you really need to make a choice Myths - differences that are talked about which really are not there

14. My take on a SAFe value statement… For Early/late majority software/IT/technology-heavy enterprises who Develop and maintain LARGE COMPLEX products or services the Scaled Agile Framework is a Collection of lean/agile process and implementation best practices that Helps these enterprises improve their business agility despite huge change management and technology/process obstacles in their context Unlike Other scaling frameworks that assume the ability and willingness to drive revolutionary dramatic change in the organization and mostly ignore current culture and roles in the organization our solution Is able to provide a reasonable evolutionary starting point to the business agility journey flexible enough to allow organizations to evolve towards a truly lean/agile enterprise. It provides people currently holding roles in the organization a clear mapping to their new role in the agile enterprise and a path to making this change.
