PEDCO and Safe Journey will work together in fostering the growing numbers of Applied SAFe® customers; where PEDCO delivers its own product Applied SAFe® and Safe Journey shares their knowledge and experience in agile at scale, agility health, coaching, training, and quality assurance.

Safe Journey is all about your journey.  Whether you are a large organisation that needs help with your agile transformation or you are in one of the numerous roles affected by an agile transformation and need to understand how you can find your feet in the agile world, we are ready to support you on your agile journey.

Safe Journey believes in a holistic approach to agile transformations. We believe that you need to:

  • Train the participants of the agile transformation
  • Assess and measure your progress towards your goals on all levels consistently and continuously
  • Coach people to make them succeed so the transformation sticks
  • Lead and guide the lean-agile leaders in the transformation

This collaboration supports our commitment to foster scaled agility on an enterprise level, especially for companies working in a regulated environment. Applied SAFe is our fully-fledged implementation of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) as a process model. Applied SAFe is based on and kept in sync with the actual SAFe version by Scaled Agile Inc. (SAI). Our product is officially approved by Scaled Agile Inc, the inventors of the Scaled Agile Framework. Implemented as a comprehensive, executable process model it includes all roles, activities, templates, guidelines, milestones, and phases in order to bring the framework to life; including metrics and tailoring. Applied SAFe is a ‘ready to go’ implementation and allows organizations to start using the framework immediately.

“Having done several SAFe® implementations and been through many discussions on how to implement the framework, it has been truly amazing to see how PEDCO’s Applied SAFe® can improve current and future implementations. The way Applied SAFe® highlights the configuration possibilities of the SAFe® framework and makes roles, responsibilities, and processes very clear, without doubt, it saves a lot of time. Not to mention the superb support in regards to mapping to reference models from regulated environments to help ensure process compliance. We are truly thrilled to partner with PEDCO and to introduce Applied SAFe® to the great benefit of our clients in the Nordics.”

Søren Westh, Agile Transformation Leader and Partner, Safe Journey

“It has been an absolute pleasure to partner with Safe Journey. I could immediately feel their passion and commitment to their partnership the first time we met. They have shown this commitment by sending all team members from Copenhagen to our office in Zurich for in-depth personal training and now they are all certified Quality Managers of Applied SAFe. It’s a ‘Safe Journey’ to implement SAFe from the very early stages of the SAFe Implementation Roadmap. Now, we are all ready to apply SAFe in the Scandinavian area even in regulated environments such as Finance, Pharma, Defense, MedTec or Windmill. ”
