Agile & SAFe
As defined in our previous article, Agile training is a way to improve project performance by teaching the basic concepts of Agile to an organization or team and how to implement it. While a lot of people talk about using Agile, there are many misunderstandings about the distinctions between different methods. For instance, training can help expose the underlying Agile concepts and clarify the differences between the various implementation methods.
As a framework for scaling Agile, SAFe can help your entire organization achieve a better way of working. SAFe builds on Agile’s foundations to give organizations a proven system and structured guidance for addressing these challenges at scale. Therefore, SAFe gives organizations a roadmap for the what, why, who, when, and how of applying Agile across the business.
