SAFe Meetup - Dan Teixiera, 'Transforming Your Transformation w/SAFe Principles'

Abstract:

Successful Scaled Agile transformations require highly motivated, skilled and experienced SAFe change agents. These change agents need to have the right tools and techniques at their disposal and constantly ensure that their toolkit aligns to SAFe principles and core values. But even when the conditions are ripe, success is not guaranteed. The value from SAFe may take too long to achieve, culture change becomes unmanageable and momentum may be lost. Sound familiar?... The particular issues that arise when implementing SAFe are some of the same challenges that drive organizations to want to adopt SAFe in the first place!

Dan explores each principle in detail and provides real life examples on how each principle was applied and how this suggested approach can help organizations set their vision for the change.

At the core of this presentation is the tried and tested proposition that SAFe transformation challenges can be successfully addressed by carefully applying the SAFe principles and values to the transformation process itself.
