Workshop
Accelerate Your SAFe Implementation Workshop
For organizations already practicing SAFe — looking to take their implementation to the next level by identifying and addressing the gaps between SAFe as practiced and SAFe as intended.
Key Deliverables
What You'll Establish
A reboot, fix, or fresh perspective
This workshop has been used in dozens of enterprises to help realign a SAFe journey — combining field-proven best practices in an interactive, facilitated format that provides leadership with a context-specific improvement roadmap.Current state assessment
Establish the current state of your agile operating system — strengths, weaknesses, satisfaction gaps, ability to innovate, and time to market.
Aligned improvement focus areas
Align as a leadership team on the specific improvement areas to focus on — not everything, the most important things.
SAFe model review
Review how your ARTs, Value Streams, Portfolios, roles, configuration, work items, and release cadence are working — what's good, what needs adjustment.
Context-specific complementary practices
Explore what else is needed: SAFe Flow Accelerators, team topologies, OKRs+SAFe integration, Evidence-based Management, project-to-product, compliance approaches.
Improvement roadmap
Align on an improvement objective and desired key results — create and review a draft improvement blueprint with confidence voting and risk addressing.
What We Explore
Context-specific SAFe Improvements
Leverage SAFe Flow properties and Accelerators at all levels — establishing metrics and systems that make flow visible and improvable.
Explore team/value stream topologies to support descaling and reduce dependencies — organizing around value.
Connect your SAFe implementation to strategic outcomes using OKRs — bridging portfolio strategy and ART execution.
Leverage EBM to connect your SAFe implementation to outcomes and value — not just process compliance.
Format
How It Works
1–2 days of interviews to understand your context and identify the key issues before the workshop.
2–3 days of highly interactive working sessions, preferably offsite — sized to your organization's complexity.
Leadership Teams, Change Agents, and Lean Agile Centers of Excellence (LACE) / Communities of Practice.
