The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is getting more and more into a ‘De-facto’-Standard for scaled agility. But how can such a frameworks be successfully implemented?
We were lucky to have Jennifer Fawcett with us here in Zürich. Jennifer is ‘SAFe Fellow and Director of Service Delivery’ at Scaled Agile (https://www.linkedin.com/in/iffer).
Jennifer is one of the first members at Scaled Agile und has a huge experience in this area; e.g. she was deeply involved in the SAFe Transition at NASA, USA. Jennifer gave us a short lightning speech and presented a possible approach. @Jennifer: Thank you so much for your insight’s and your willingness to share your experiences.
