SAFe is designed for large-scale software development

ecosystems of 50-125 people who need to resolve

inter-dependencies


Be aware that…


6

…If your company do not have >3 abstraction levels

maybe you don’t need SAFe


Furthermore…


7

…If you don’t have coordination breakpoints in your company

maybe you don’t need to scale


And above all…


8

…If you are an startup or small company

surely SAFe is not for you


Ergo…


9

but if you get to the point where you're so big you need to,

SAFe would be the answer

…If you can avoid scale in your organization, do it!


AgileSAFe is based on 9 Lean-Agile principles


10


Agile has 4 values and 12 principles


11


…and SAFe add their own


12

1. Take economic view

2. Apply system thinking

3. Assume variability; preserve options

4. Build incrementally with fast, integrated learning cycles

5. Base milestones on objective evaluation of working systems

6. Visualize and limit WIP, reduce batch sizes, and manage queue lengths

7. Apply cadence, synchronize with cross-domain planning

8. Unlock the intrinsic motivation of knowledge workers

9. Decentralize decision-making


It is not optional!

Framework


14

SAFe is a collection of a proven efficacy tools,

and you only have to use what you need

15

…SAFe is not to “be implanted”



16

You use just what you need
