The general flow of the MeetUp:
5:15 to 5:30 p.m. - Virtual introductions and kick-off
5:30 to 6:30 p.m. - Meeting Topic: Introducing SAFe 5.0

Welcome to the age of software—an interconnected, real-time world where every industry is powered by technology and every company is, at least in part, a software company.

Organizations that master Business Agility are the ones that will thrive—not just survive. Business Agility happens when the entire organization uses Lean and Agile practices to continually and proactively deliver innovative business solutions faster than the competition.
SAFe 5.0® is designed to expand SAFe to encompass the entire enterprise and enable business agility.

In this meetup, Dr. Steve Mayner, SAFe Fellow and one of the authors of SAFe® 5.0 will provide an overview of the changes that have culminated in the most significant evolution of the Scaled Agile Framework since its inception.
