The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®) provides a comprehensive approach to developing cyber-physical (hardware-inclusive) solutions- often a complex set of integrated systems. When these large scale solutions include hardware, software and firmware, and also must meet regulatory compliance standards, applying lean-agile principles and practices become even more challenging.
In this webinar, we'll provide an introduction to how product and solution management roles can use SAFe, Jira Align and more traditional engineering tools (we will use IBM's Engineering Lifecycle Management as an example) to define and support the building of large scale, cyber-physical systems.

In our last webinar, we provided an introduction on how product and solution management roles can use SAFe, Jira Align and more traditional engineering tools (we will use IBM's Engineering Lifecycle Management as an example) to define and support the building of large scale, cyber-physical systems.
We'll start out with a few slides and a demo to provide a brief overview of the topic and then we'll open the floor up to answering your questions as well as encourage dialog around all things Jira Align.
Anyone who has ever studied the Scaled Agile Framework’s (SAFe) ‘Big Picture’ realizes that there are many moving parts that must work together for organizations to realize significant business benefit. Without tool support for these myriad moving parts, continued success and growth for your lean-agile environment is that much more difficult. Atlassian’s Jira Align provides the support necessary for implementing agile at scale practices and processes- from portfolio strategy to work ‘on the ground.’
In this session we’ll focus specifically on how Jira Align supports two critical activities integral to a successful implementation of SAFe (or any agile at scale methodology):
1. Preparing for Big Room/PI Planning
2. Executing successful (in person or remote!) Big Room/PI Planning
Learn the mechanics of running a system specification workshop and how to perform them as part of a cadence in the SAFe ART.
Aligned with the goals of the DoD Digital Engineering Strategy, this 10-hour workshop will teach you how to create & leverage models aligned with your organization's enterprise agile environment. Designed for Systems Engineers & Architects you'll use hands-on simulations to incrementally construct 'system specifications' using MBSE techniques that define system context, behavioral response to stimulus, structural design and interfaces. These models, which evolve on a synchronized cadence, are used to:
-Ensure architectural integrity and runway of the system
-Identify and prepare for integrations to other systems
-Elicit functionality to be decomposed and developed in an agile manner over the next increment
Many organizations are looking to apply Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) techniques as their organizations adopt the Scaled Agile Framework or SAFe (or other enterprise agile methodology). The LPM approach shifts leadership focus away from outputs and towards measurement based on value-based outcomes. This is achieved by aligning portfolio/business strategy with product development through the application of systems thinking, as well as lean approaches to funding, portfolio operations and governance.

Duane Bushman is an SPC Trainer (SPCT) and Lean Agile Coach at Rockwell Automation. He'll take you through the trials and triumphs of helping an important portfolio team, responsible for one of this industrial automation's largest business units, adopt a more lean/agile mindset in how it reviews, approves, initiates and tracks strategic initiatives. Fundamentally a change in culture, the concurrent adoption of Atlassian's Jira Align (which was already being used at the ART/program level) helped this executive team visualize the changes they were making and track their prioritized portfolio epics across teams and through time, ultimately helping them make value-based decisions in near-real time about whether to persevere, pivot or punt on any given initiative.
Essential SAFe revolves around delivering value by implementing Features within Program Increments (PIs). The 3 major activities relative to a PI surround a PI Planning event: Preparing for PI Planning, PI Planning event itself, and managing the execution of the PI. Without tool support, performing these activities can be a daunting task. Jira Align is the premier tool for supporting all levels of SAFe and provides support for all 3 of these activities. To that end we are making available to you 3 webinars that will demonstrate how Jira Align facilitates Pre-PI Planning, PI Planning, and PI Execution.
Session 3 – During the third session we will demonstrate how Jira Align supports managing the execution of the PI:
•The Program Room – dashboard to manage the program and teams
•The Program Board and Dependency Maps – tools to identify planning issues and managing dependencies
•The Work Tree – a full hierarchical view of the work and progress
•Various additional reports to check the progress of the work
•Clean Up Report can facilitate cleaning up the PI in preparation for the next one.
These sessions should provide you with a sneak peek at some of the things Jira Align can offer at the Essential SAFe level.
A few years ago, IBM introduced the concept of Global Configuration Management (GCM) to its Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) suite of integrated tools. This was a game changer for requirements management. It was not only possible to put requirements under configuration management, but it was possible to save collections of corresponding requirement, test, workflow, source, and model artifacts in a single configuration.
During this presentation we will build the case for component-based requirements management, illustrate Global Configuration Management concepts, and focus on various Component Usage Patterns within the context of GCM 7.0.2 and IBM’s Engineering Lifecycle (ELM) suite of tools.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
Business agility requires Lean-thinking people and agile teams throughout the enterprise but extending SAFe into areas beyond IT can be challenging. Based on recent research conducted by Scaled Agile, this session will reveal field-tested techniques for gaining buy-in and participation from Finance, HR, Marketing, Operations, and other major business functions.
Don't miss this opportunity to hear how others are cultivating SAFe beyond IT and building real business agility!
