IJI is committed to helping our clients scale and sustain agile to large programmes whilst achieving greater productivity, faster times to market, and increased employee engagement. Adoption of the Scaled Agile Framework® has accelerated with 60% of Fortune 100 enterprises having SAFe® trained practitioners.

The Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®) is a guiding framework for realizing many of the benefits of agile. Newly launched SAFe 4.0 makes even greater strides for large-scale system delivery.

Learn:

  • The business and technical drivers behind the launch of SAFe 4.0
  • How SAFe decouples business value streams from delivery streams (or Agile Release Trains) to provide you with improved manageability
  • How SAFe provides practical support for managing CapEx and OpEx

Join us with special guest Dean Leffingwell, Creator of the Scaled Agile Framework and Co-founder of Scaled Agile, Inc. along with Ian Spence, Chief Scientist and Brian Tucker, SPCT & Principal Consultant at IJI as they review what’s new in SAFe 4.0!

Dean will kickstart the session with an overview of SAFe 4.0 and Ian and Brian will share best examples from customer engagements including key considerations when making an agile transformation decision including:

  • Is SAFe a fit for my organisation?
  • How SAFe can be tailored to meet unique organisational requirements?
  • Best practices for a successful SAFe implementation

Join us on the March 10th for this engaging and informative free event.
