There are lots of agile frameworks, I do not know which one is best and I had to start SOMEWHERE? Tell me more!
I already use the SAFe framework, and am interested in hearing another perspective
My team has grown too big and we are struggling with scrum!!
I’ve seen the SAFe diagram and it looks (scary |overwhelming | complex) and I need the crib notes
SAFe seems like a bad idea, but I am open to hearing some alternative ideas about how to apply it
I already hate SAFe and am hoping to heckle you the entire talk

PMO, plannin’ and budgeting
projects and initiatives, 12
months at a time
A Scrum team, kickin’ butt and
taking names on their product, 2
weeks at a time
Now let’s assume we have 5, 10, maybe
even 100 active scrum teams!

“A system is a network of interdependent components
that work together to try to accomplish the aim of the
system.
A system must have an aim. Without an aim, there is
no system.”
—W. Edwards Deming

Take a systems view
Visualize and LIMIT Work in Process (WIP)
Deliver on a cadence but release on demand
Unlock intrinsic motivations
Trust your team!
Most companies I work with who are “going agile” are buried in highly
complex and interdependent legacy apps they cannot just rip and
replace
Most teams I work with don’t have the bandwidth/expertise to also
create, manage, and execute full integration test plans
Most companies are late to the game in bringing agility to DevOps, and
the team/infrastructure/tools in place cannot support an agile release
cadence
Most end users my customers work with don’t actually WANT new
features delivered every 2 weeks
Fear? Uncertainty? Doubt?
Maybe they haven’t ever really looked at SAFe beyond the “Big Picture”
I honestly don’t know. But keep an open mind and check it out.
And in the end, maybe it just really isn’t right for your team…
