Product Agility SAFe V LeSS - Is It Really a Battle?
SAFe, also known as Scaled Agile Frameworks, is one of the most popular #agile frameworks for trying to create nimble, adaptable, agile organisations. How successful it is at this seems to divide the #agile community.
As companies prioritise #businessagility, they tend to look for #agile frameworks that closely resemble their current way of working and infrastructure. This confirmation bias makes change hard for large organisations and leads them to be very conservative when considering options for new ways of working.
As such, #SAFe has grown in popularity with traditional leadership teams.
Unfortunately, #SAFe has also required a reputation for being at best, a bridge between being a "traditional" organisation and a truly #agile one. There is a great deal more failed adoptions in #SAFe than there are successful adoptions which have placed #SAFe firmly in the 'trough of disillusionment' using Gartner's Hype Model.
On the one extreme, the hardcore #agile evangelists dismiss #SAFe as nothing more than a corporate wolf dressed in #agile clothing. On the other hand, conservative executives view it as a low-risk transition framework that enables them to tap into some of the low hanging fruit offered by #agile ways of working.
So, which is right?
Ben Maynard, #LeSS expert and #coach, walks us through the differences between #SAFe and #LeSS (Large Scale #Scrum).
Ben has worked in countless agile environments and balances the visionary ideals of the #agilemanifesto with the pragmatic reality of working in large organisations that embrace logical transitions in favour of bold transformations.
