3 Reasons Your SAFe® Journey Has Lost Its Way

3 Reasons Your SAFe® Journey Has Lost Its Way

Scaling Agile Framework (SAFe) is an effective framework for supporting customers more efficiently by marrying technical and business agility practices. Despite its popularity, many SAFe initiatives fail because organizations implement it for the sake of it. Leadership understands the gist but not the mechanics, which leads to a dangerous gulf in understanding. Teams become frustrated, and business outcomes fail to improve. SAFe fails when organizations use old mindsets, forget Agile principles or try to follow the book too closely. Therefore, to succeed with SAFe, organizations should return to basics and the problem they're trying to solve, internalize Agile principles, and allow time to figure out what works for their specific problem. With Flow Metrics, SAFe practices can be measured against business outcomes to ensure improvement over time, making it the ultimate GPS to guide through real-time insights.
