Before we start, I need to state that #SAFe is a proprietary trademark, and many of the images and information used in this video is property of Scaled #Agile, Inc. If you wish to view everything in more detail, please visit www.ScaledAgile.com.
The first and arguably most important aspect of #SAFe is the Seven Core Competencies, and an inseparable aspect of #SAFe. These are a set of seven essential Competencies of #SAFe that make up what not only allows for #agility but also allows for #Agile to be scaled up. These seven are Enterprise Solution Delivery, #Agile Product Delivery, Team and Technical Agility, Lean-#Agile Leadership, Continuous Learning culture, Organizational #Agility, and Lean Portfolio Management. What do these seven competencies mean? Let me tell you.
1. Enterprise Solution Delivery is all about applying Lean-#Agile principles and practices to the development, deployment, and operations of massive-scale software applications, networks, and systems. It’s essential to keeping agility on a large scale.
2. #Agile Product delivery is focused on a customer-centric approach to building and releasing quality products and services consistently to consumers, allowing constant improvement and flow of feedback.
3. Team and Technical #Agility is the oil that makes businesses work-- it’s focused on improving communication and agility within the teams and between employees, a set of practices #Agile teams can use to create high-quality solutions.
4. Lean-#Agile Leadership is focused on those who drive organizational change and ensure smooth operation by cultivating positive #Agile practices and culture, particularly through leading by example.
5. Continuous Learning Culture is a set of practices and principles that encourage the cultivation of knowledge, competence, motivation to perform, and innovation within individuals of an organization.
6. Organizational #Agility is about how Lean-thinking people and #Agile teams optimize their business processes and evolve strategies with clear and easy-to-understand commitments and goals, as well as enabling quick adaptation needed to capitalize on new opportunities.
7. Lean Portfolio Management is the practice of aligning strategy and execution by applying Lean principles to strategy and investment funding, managing a set of development Value Streams.
You may be able to see why these Seven Core Competencies are so important. This makeup is what’s newest in #SAFe 5.0-- Business #Agility. This ensures quick response time, ease of improvement, and increased employee and consumer satisfaction-- even for large organizations. Despite seeming like a lot, that’s just a fragment of what makes up #SAFe. There are multiple different configurations of #SAFe to apply to every business situation. The first and most basic configuration of SAFe-- available for large-scale, but not massive, organizations-- is Essential #SAFe. This has three components as part of it, these being Vision, Roadmap, and System Team.
The Vision is a description of the future state of the Solution that’s under development. It reflects the needs of the customer and Stakeholders.
The Roadmap is a schedule of events that communicate the planned Solution deliverables over a period of time.
The System Team is a specialized #Agile Team that assists in building and supporting the.
Agile development environment, including development and maintenance of the Continuous Delivery Pipeline.
The second configuration of #SAFe-- Large Solution #SAFe-- becomes more complex in some areas while losing the need for constructs at the portfolio level. This configuration utilizes more components in addition to the previous three. These new components are Milestones, Shared Services, CoP, Lean UX, and Metrics.
Milestones are used to track progress towards a specific goal-- there are three different milestone types: Program Increment, fixed-date, and learning milestones.
Shared Services represents the specialty roles, people, and services required for the success of an #Agile Release Train or Solution Train that cannot be dedicated full-time.
The #coP stands for Communities of Practice, organized groups of people who have a common interest in a specific technical or business domain.
Lean UX design is a mindset, culture, and process that embraces Lean-#Agile methods, implementing functionality in minimum viable increments.
*Metrics, agreed-upon measures used to evaluate how well an organization is progressing towards the portfolio, #ART, large solutions, and others.
