Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)

A widely adopted approach for scaling Agile practices across large organizations so many teams can deliver together.

Key Points

  • Aligns multiple teams on a shared cadence using Agile Release Trains (ARTs).
  • Uses Program Increment (PI) planning to set near-term objectives and synchronize delivery.
  • Combines Lean and Agile principles to improve flow, quality, and continuous learning.
  • Provides roles, events, and artifacts across team, program, and portfolio levels to coordinate enterprise work.

Example

A company with 12 development teams adopts SAFe. They form two ARTs, run two-day PI Planning every quarter to agree on objectives, visualize dependencies across teams, and deliver integrated features on a common iteration cadence.
