But what is SAFe®?

SAFe® is a knowledge base of proven, integrated principles, practices, and competencies for attaining business agility using Lean, Agile, Systems Thinking, and DevOps to manage large-scale software development. 

SAFe® endorses alignment, transparency, collaboration, and product delivery involving large-size teams. The core of SAFe® is based on four bodies of knowledge which are agile software development, lean product development, systems thinking, and DevOps.

SAFe®’s ability to achieve business agility is possible due to its four core values which include the-

  • 1Alignment: Alignment helps in keeping the entire organization aligned toward a single goal. Organizations that are deviating from their original goal fare poorly against disruptive and competitive market forces.Misaligned organizations aren’t high-performing when working remotely. When departments work in silos, managing geographically dispersed teams can be even tougher.
  • 2Built-In Quality: Built-In Quality signifies that every product increment built must be of superior quality. Quality can’t be added later. Building quality products is a quality of Lean-Agile.
  • 3Transparency: Product development is seldom a smooth process. Not being open, will lead to decision-making on assumptions as facts are not revealed. Trust precedes transparency. High-performing teams and happy organizations cease to exist without trust.
  • 4Program Execution: A working product is a testimony to progress. The objective of every business should be to deliver business value to customers.
  • 5SAFe® promotes working systems and meaningful business outcomes made possible by Agile Release Trains (ARTs) It’s been a decade since the inception of SAFe® and it has become the most preferred framework to build enterprise-level products.
