- Waterfall delivery is too slow and risky to match today’s organizational needs.
- Scrum is effective at the small team level; however, it does not scale effectively.
- Selecting the wrong scaled Agile framework can reduce productivity and value delivery during the prolonged implementation period.
Developing a fit-for-purpose scaled framework can improve enterprise agility, cross-team dependencies, and value realization:
- SAFe provides multiple frameworks to scale according to the size and complexity of each organization.
- SAFe has a wealth of supporting resources and implementation partners to aid in your transformation.
- Organizations who complete the SAFe transformation report measurable improvements in software delivery.
