Join Murray Robinson and Shane Gibson for a debate with Michael Kusters about the pros and cons of SAFe. The Scaled “Agile” Framework for enterprises. SAFe is taking over because executives like its detailed 3-month program plans, detailed processes, hierarchical organization, and comprehensive rollout plans. SAFe has been great at sales and marketing, and it provides a great way for consultants to make money. But is it agile? If not, what are its benefits? Should we leave the field for unscrupulous consultants making money out of SAFe, or should we try and make it work? Should we use SAFe as the door to introduce real agile patterns that help, or is it a lost cause because executives who want SAFe aren't aligned with agile values?   Listen to the podcast on your favourite podcast app: | Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | iHeart Radio | PlayerFM | Amazon Music | Listen Notes | TuneIn | Audible | Podchaser |  Connect with Michael on LinkedIn or https://failfastmoveon.blogspot.com/, Murray via email or Shane in the Twitter-sphere  @shagility.   The No Nonsense agile Podcast is sponsored by: Simply Magical Data
