We are entering a highly unpredictable era, and organizations will need greater adaptability. That’s why many are looking for agile ways of organizing, and the agile journey starts with SAFe®.
What is SAFe®?
The Scaled Agile Framework is the leading framework for large organizations who opperates with a Lean-Agile approach. SAFe® provides a structure that establishes shared principles and a common language within agile organizations. It enables coordination and synchronization of work—and ultimately, delivery—across multiple teams and suppliers.
Where does the SAFe® journey begin?
