SAFe® Success Story
Stability
Our client had five Program Managers over the course of three years. While implementing SAFe principles, our team was able to support the client through five investment decision points and 13 program milestones. The framework remains constant throughout leadership changes, giving stability that allows teams to continue to deliver while operating in a changing landscape.
Alignment
By leveraging SAFe’s Plan/Do/Check/Adjust cycle to align with their development partner organization, our client gains enhanced insight into the development process. Part of this is quarterly predictability rate assessments to gauge how well teams plan and meet objectives. This planning cycle fosters incremental re-alignment to missions and more efficient collaboration.
Flow
Our client’s team has a 5:1 ratio of contractors to employees. SAFe’s emphasis on decentralized decision making and focus on removing bottlenecks enables their work to flow even with many teams involved.
Communication & Trust
Our client works with a variety of partner organizations and has implemented SAFe’s Plan/Do/Check/Adjust Relentless Improvement Feedback cycle, which has successfully bolstered communication among partners and supported our client’s reputation as a trusted, consistent team.
