😥 I am forced to take a full 2 day course on this
It can be. Like anything agile, it requires everyone to be on aboard for it work efficiently, but getting everyone onboard and on the same page is the greatest challenge.
As long as you’re not a purist for any methodology, there is always something useful. You can definitely use some of the ideas and contextualize it for specific project/ client.
I found scaled agile to be extremely frustrating; the CIO that I worked with used it as an excuse to not commit to longer-term timelines reducing his level of accountability to the CEO and board.
Of course it is, people that say it isn't probably don't understand it. It's easy to "learn" but it takes the right people to implement it and be effective. The org has to buy in, most workers just blow it off because ppl tend to resist change more than they embrace it.
I’ve previously been frustrated that SAFe doesn’t think distributed teams work. I’m assuming they’ve revisited this now though to get PI planning to work distributed.
It depends. Do you want to be agile?
I find it incredibly cumbersome, but it is useful as a transition point for companies who are entrenched in waterfall and have been for decades.
I say " transition point " because it is not inherently agile, and it is a lot of heavy prescriptive framework for people to get the job done.
I've seen companies who want to be agile implement SAFe and never make improvements that would benefit their specific organization ever again. When you have specific instructions, it's easy to stick to those, even when they are not helpful. Change is hard.
It has a purpose, but it should not be the goal.
Agilefall for the win!
