SAFe and Kanban: Why They’re Better Together

Innovation management today largely involves a shift from complicated to the complex domain, requiring evolutionary agility at scale.

The evolution of SAFe has now made Kanban, another popular approach to Agile and Lean practices, a first-class citizen in SAFe, making it possible to scale organizations or work in complex domains.
