The Scaled Agile Framework (pronounced “SAFe”) is an interactive knowledge base for implementing agile practices at enterprise scale. The “Big Picture” graphic  highlights the individual roles, teams, activities and artifacts necessary to scale agile from the team to program to the enterprise level. Clicking on each icon takes the user to an Abstract and a Detail page which elaborates on that element. Some elements (like DBT and Metrics) bring up additional sub-domains with navigation to further depth and description.

This model of agile adoption has been elaborated primarily in my books Agile Software Requirements: Lean Requirements for Teams Programs and the Enterprise (2011) and Scaling Software Agility: Best Practices for Large Enterprises, (2007) and my scalingsoftwareagilityblog.com. It has been successfully applied in programs of only 50-100 people, and in enterprises employing thousands of software developers.

We hope it will work for you, too.

Sincerely,

–Dean
