Invitation and Pull-based approaches for implementing agile at scale has been a reoccurring theme in my work, writing and talks in recent years — including my talk at Agile 2016 and this series on my blog.
In recent months I was working on a SAFe guidance article on this topic. Richard Knaster as well as Dean Leffingwell & Inbar Oren helped crystallize the guidance and I’m really happy about the end result.
One of the key details in the approach I describe is my SAFe Agility Strategy Workshop which is a variant of the Agility Strategy Workshop. This has become a staple of how I help organizations figure out their agility strategy while learning about real agility (as opposed to an Agile Theater).
Anyhow, Go read the full article at Invitation-Based SAFe Implementation — a SAFe Guidance Article. Afterwards, let me know what you think. (Here are my contact details).
