Deep dives
Ken Schwaber's critique of SAFe's commercial aspects
Ken Schwaber's blog post from 2013 highlights the commercial aspects of SAFe and its origins. He argues that SAFe, developed by the same people behind Rational Unified Process (RUP), is taking advantage of the growing popularity of agile and attempting to build a business around it. While he acknowledges the experience of those with a RUP background, he questions whether they truly understand and appreciate lean agile thinking. However, he also recognizes that not all individuals with a RUP background have issues with agility. Schwaber suggests that organizations should think for themselves and consider their effective change management approach, focusing on lean and agile principles.
