\n\tYou’ve probably heard about SAFe\u00ae<\/strong>, the\u00a0Scaled Agile Framework. But what is SAFe? What can it do for your organization? And when and why should you implement it?

Digital transformation and Agile ways of working are key for complex organizations to become\u00a0\u2013 and remain\u00a0\u2013 successful in an extremely volatile and competitive global market. SAFe helps organizations with this agile transformation and enables them to handle all challenges involved with adapting to such markets.

With this article, we help you to understand the basics of SAFe. And find the answer to the question of why you should implement SAFe in your organization.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\tHow do you still apply the principles of Lean Agile in a growing, more complex organizational structure and on a much larger scale? By mastering and internalizing the\u00a0Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe<\/a>)<\/strong>!<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\tSAFe <\/strong>is a framework for organizations in which many teams work on multiple complex products in an ever-changing environment. The SAFe framework enables organizations to respond quickly to change, efficiently recognize customer needs, and increase the quality of fluidly evolving products.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\tSAFe promotes collaboration and constant value delivery across large(r) numbers of Agile teams. The framework aligns structure, strategy, and execution of software- and systems-developing organizations, in order to increase product value, quality, predictability, and efficiency.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\tSAFe also ‘safeguards’ competitiveness through speedy innovation (hence the complementing ‘e’) and bolsters instant adaptation to extremely volatile market environments.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n
