Accelerate the Agility of Your SAFe* Program

 
 

* SAFe® is a registered trademark of Scaled Agile Inc., which is not affiliated with Agile 2 Academy.

SAFe®* is packed with good ideas. But SAFe alone will not make you agile, because agility results not just from process, but also from how people resolve unexpected issues, how they tailor their approach to the uniqueness of each situation, how they collaborate on issues, and how they trade off investments in the work versus how they do the work.

In short, if you are using SAFe but have not changed the above things, then you are not getting the most from SAFe: you have “left money on the table.”

Our 90-day accelerator will assess agility, culture, and DevOps practices, upskill your people in their leadership styles, improve the effectiveness of their collaboration, put metrics in place to create transparency, and streamline your recurring meetings—giving people back a lot of their time so that they can be productive.

Agile 2 is not another framework. It is a set of behavioral norms and patterns for solving problems, and is based on behavioral science, organizational culture and leadership theories, operations research, cognitive science, and ideas from Flow and Lean thinking.

What you get

  • Personal involvement of one of our most senior consultants.

  • A certified SAFe® SPC5* coach who is trained in Agile 2.

  • Surveys to assess your department’s culture, agility behaviors, and DevOps practices. The culture assessment used the rich Human Synergistics model. The agility behaviors are based on game-changing Agile 2, and the DevOps practices are based on DORA but (we feel) improved and expanded.

  • Metrics and dashboards to drive behavior and track outcomes.

  • Training and coaching of people in leadership roles, such as your product managers, RTEs, Scrum Masters, architects, epic owners, and anyone who is in a position of significant influence.

  • Improved flow, improved and more timely issue resolution, improved quality, and improved morale.

  • Proof that it worked: outcome-based metrics that show improvements in feature cycle time, product quality, and time-to-pivot.
