Editor's Notes

  • #10: 9-22
  • #11: 10-22
  • #20: So let's discuss the Lean-Agile principles that underlie SAFe. [Read through each of the principles on the slide] We don't have time in presentation to drill into each of these, but if you head down the SAFe journey, it will be important to learn why these principles are so critical to a successful implementation of SAFe. They are so important because principles trump practices. So if we're struggling with a practice, we're going to return to these basic principles to make sure that we're trying to build a system and an implementation that is as Lean and Agile as possible.
  • #21: You can see that it's organized around teams—teams are the fundamental construct. Teams are the goose that lay our Agile golden egg, and we want to create teams and help them be and stay incented to do their best work. The Program Level, where a group of Agile Teams work together to deliver a larger solution, is indicated here. And of course the Customer is part of our Solution. This larger structure in the middle is the Agile Release Train, which I'll come back to in a second. The Agile Release Train is the organizational construct—typically virtual—that delivers solutions. ------ [Note: It is helpful to point out where each of the bolded items above are located on the slide when speaking to them.]
  • #24: The ART truly takes a systems view. It brings together the people we need to deliver larger amounts of value. That includes our business owners, our representatives from the customers, product management, architecture, systems engineering, hardware, software, testing, people involved in manufacturing or deployment of our solution…. We create this virtual program. And the virtual program now has the skills they need. So the ART is cross-functional as well. And it typically contains about 50 to 125 people.
