Essentially SAFe

Video

Abstract

Ever since the creation of the agile manifesto, agile frameworks have become increasingly popular, not only in small organisations but also in larger enterprises. While relatively easy to adopt an agile way of working in a small team, it's primarily the scaling of agile which proves to be a struggle for many organisations.

SAFe is a framework designed on experiences of people that have implemented agile frameworks in those larger organisations. Over the past years, Scaled Agile released several versions of its framework, the latest version being the 2017 release 4.5.

In this session we will cover the basics of the SAFe framework. The primary focus will be on the Essential SAFe configuration.
