Applying Large-Scale Agile | IBM Continuous Engineering & SAFe

Description

SAFe has always been based on well-known, proven lean-agile practices – cadence, small batches, limiting WIP, continuous integration, self-managed teams, etc. – that increase an organization’s productivity, quality, and economics. SAFe offers several additions for the large system builders. SAFe is now built around Value Streams for coordination and optimally aligning an organization on value delivery. The Solution Intent communicates the system’s intended behavior and design decisions and provides a technical repository to support impact analysis and compliance. Enablers define exploration work for requirements and design that is performed in flow with the development and construction work. And finally, engineering practices including Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Set-Based Design, and Architecture are integrated into the agile deliver system.

This talk discusses how SAFe and the other additions, help large, engineering system builders realize the benefits of lean and agile practices.
