SAFe & Scaled Agile Framework

Practical insights from our team of experienced Agile and OKR practitioners.

SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework)

SAFe is one of the most widely-adopted approaches to scaling agile beyond a single team. The articles in this category cover the parts we work with most: launching Agile Release Trains, running PI Planning that delivers real predictability, implementing Lean Portfolio Management for enterprise-level prioritisation, and the change-management work that any SAFe rollout depends on. Drawn from our experience as SAFe® Program Consultants. For help in your own organisation, see our SAFe® agile development and agile consultancy services.
