SAFe-ly Scaling an Agile Product Operating Model
SAFe evolving toward a product operating model: how the framework is adapting to empowered product teams, outcome focus, and the shift from project to product.
How can an Agile Product Operating Model (APOM) enhance how organizations use SAFe?
I had several conversations with product leaders this week where this question came up. Organizations that are struggling with SAFe Theater and want to see much more empowerment, outcome orientation, and evidence-driven decision making and steering.
They realize SAFe has helped them evolve from charos towards a stable “Feature Factory”, and they are now setting their aim for becoming a “Product Lab”.
If this sounds like your reality you might find my recent conversation with Scrum.org CEO Dave West interesting. Check it out:
In related news, Scaled Agile released an Executive Briefing about the Product Operating Model At Scale, which is worthwhile reading as well. Let me know if you’d like me to facilitate a live Q&A discussing this briefing.
