Applied SAFe® Architecture and Implementation

The process model is implemented in a way that you can instantiate independently on each level. This enables you, to run multiple programs each with its own process instances, while each program holds various instances on a team level with various tailored instances of life cycles. Applied SAFe® is implemented with the process management tool ‘Stages’ (by Method Park Software AG); this solution offers great flexibility and efficiency while still maintaining control and compliance of portfolios, value streams, programs and teams via the Stages core process concept.

Applied SAFe® is capable of making use of various life cycle models. Teams can choose their life cycle depending on their needs and their agile readiness. This solution has the advantage to let some teams smoothly adopt Agile, while other teams could choose other life cycles to work with; such as for example the V-Model, Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD), iterative or waterfall.

Deployment & Transformation

We train your capability to successfully deploy, use, extend, and integrate Applied SAFe within your own organization. All courses include hands-on work in a sandbox environment. For further information on courses please visit our training page. Additionally, for the transition and cultural change towards scaled agility, you can choose one of our transformation partners, which will be local to you and know your environment.
