Reignite Your SAFe® Journey with Flow Metrics and Program Predictability Measures

Reignite Your SAFe® Journey with Flow Metrics and Program Predictability Measures

Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe) is the most popular Agile methodology for scaling software development, but its creator, Dean Leffingwell, notes that technical agility alone won't deliver business agility. Kate Chajka emphasizes the importance of measuring development work to business outcomes and discusses the need for a deep understanding of what changes will have the biggest impact on velocity, predictability, efficiency, and throughput. The latest version of SAFe (5.1) includes new Flow Metrics focusing on measuring against shared goals and outcomes. The SAFe Flow Metrics complement the Flow Framework, identifying where work is flowing in product value streams and where it's slowing down. Understanding metrics like flow velocity, flow efficiency, and flow time helps teams work smarter to improve delivery and build confidence with customers and stakeholders.
