What is challenge

The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is a set of

organization and workflow patterns intended to guide
enterprises in Scaling Lean and Agile practices
A RULL

Every thing is OK if Negotiation is OK

Business Agility is the ability to compete and thrive in the
digital age by quickly responding to market changes and
emerging opportunities with innovative business solutions.

Business Agility requires that everyone involved in delivering

solutions like business and technology leaders, development,
IT operations, legal, marketing, finance, support, compliance,
security.

7 Competencies of Business Agility

7
Measure and Grow
By multiplying milestones, we transform a long, amorphous
race into one with many intermediate ‘finish lines’. As we
push through each one, we experience a burst of pride as
well as a jolt of energy to charge towards the next one

8
SAFe transformation
• To reinforce and accelerate the SAFe transformation, leaders need to
‘measure and grow’
• the implementation at various points along the journey. This will help
maintain the energy and enthusiasm they are devoting to the short cycles of
Iterations and Program Increments (PIs) while setting their sights on the larger
goals of true business agility.

Portfolio Management approaches must be modernized to
support the new Lean-Agile way of working.
The Lean Portfolio Management competency aligns strategy
and execution by applying Lean and systems thinking.

Responsibilities

12
Lean Portfolio Management
• Strategy and Investment Funding It requires the cooperation of Business
Owners, portfolio stakeholders, technologists, and Enterprise Architects.

• Agile Portfolio Operations coordinates and supports decentralized program

execution, enabling operational excellence.

• Lean Governance manages spending, audit and compliance, forecasting

expenses, and measurement.

13
Large Solution SAFe is meant for enterprises that face the
biggest challenges—building large-scale solutions that are
beyond the scope of a single ART to develop.
Alignment and coordination of ARTs and suppliers is
maintained by continually refining solution intent, aligning
everyone to a shared direction, alongside roadmaps that cover
multiple planning horizons.

14
Enterprise Solution Delivery

15
Why Enterprise Solution Delivery ?
• Over the decades that these systems are operational, their purpose and mission
evolve. That calls for new capabilities, technology upgrades, security patches,
and other enhancements. As true ‘living systems,’ the activities above are
never really ‘done’ because the system itself is never ‘complete.’

• The DevOps movement has advanced best practices among significant

software systems to better support frequent system upgrades through a
Continuous Delivery Pipeline.

16
Essential SAFe contains the minimal set of roles, events,
and artifacts required to continuously deliver business
solutions via an Agile Release Train (ART) as a Team of
Agile Teams.

Essential Core Competencies

Alignment Alignment

Built-in Inspection does not improve the quality, nor guarantee quality. Inspection is too
late. The quality, good or bad, is already in the product. Quality cannot be inspected
Quality into a product or service; it must be built into it.

Lean
• Lean is a set of principles and practices for efficient manufacturing and
operations.
• It focuses on problem-solving and continuous improvement to increase
quality and eliminate waste.
• The SAFe House of Lean illustrates the goal of delivering value through the
pillars of respect for people and culture, flow, innovation, and relentless
improvement.
• Leadership provides the foundation on which everything else stands.

23
Agile

• Agile was born from a collaboration of 17 thought leaders in software

development who met in 2001 to seek alternatives to the documentation-
driven, heavyweight software development processes that were common at
the time.
• Agile is known for delivering iterative and incremental value in the form of
working software by promoting face-to-face interaction frequently between
developers, customers, and cross-functional, self-organizing teams.

24
DevOps
• DevOps is a combination of two words, development and
operations.
• DevOps is a mindset, a culture, and a set of technical practices and tools. It
provides communication, integration, automation, and close cooperation
among all the people needed to plan, develop, test, deploy, release, and
maintain a Solution.
• Culture, Automation, Flow, Measurement, and Recovery
• DevSecOps shifts security practices left, performing them earlier
and continuously.
25
Customer Customer centricity is a mindset and a way of doing business that
focuses on creating positive experiences for the customer through
Centricity the full set of Products and Services that the enterprise offers.

DevOps DevOps is the adoption of a mindset, a culture, and a set of technical

practices and tools that provides solution elements to the customer

Culture, Automation, Flow, Measurement, and Recovery

26
ScrumXP ScrumXP is a lightweight process to deliver value for
cross-functional, self-organized teams within SAFe.
It combines the power of Scrum work management
practices with Extreme Programming (XP) practices.

Team Team Kanban is a method that helps teams facilitate the flow of
value by visualizing workflow, establishing Work In Process
Kanban (WIP) limits, measuring throughput, and continuously
improving their process.
