Scaled Agile Transformation

Agile alignment of large organizations in uncertain times

Complex market requirements, changes in business models and the effective introduction of innovations such as AI have significantly changed the demands on all business areas. In order to meet the dynamic requirements, your organization must see itself as a nervous system and be capable of change as a driver of (digital) transformation. Thanks to our in-depth understanding of business and IT, we are the ideal partner for positioning your digitalization projects for a robust future.

Scaled agility and SAFe™ are popular topics these days and are used in a wide range of industries. This approach goes far beyond the principles of "New Work" and is establishing itself as a comprehensive process model. While traditional project management frameworks are often linear and rigid, scaled agility enables a flexible and iterative way of working that addresses the specific needs and challenges of the entire organization. It is a framework that not only focuses on the implementation of projects, but also transforms the entire organization through a continuous improvement process.

A key advantage of scaled agile working is the closer integration of product development and IT. By implementing scaled agile approaches, collaboration between these areas is intensified, leading to faster and more efficient development and provision of products and services.

The path to success for an agile, scaled organization using SAFe as an example

  • Pressure to change & management commitment

    It is essential to anchor the necessity and benefits of the right values, culture and mindsets in the organization. A guiding coalition and the full attention of management are crucial to driving this transformation forward.

  • "Full-blown SAFe" vs. demand-oriented framework

    A deep understanding of the SAFe Big Picture is necessary to define central roles within the organization. Customization is possible, but requires clear definitions and a common language.

  • Clear roles, responsibilities & set-up

    Understanding the SAFe "Dual Operating Model" and its impact on the organization is essential. Roles and responsibilities should be established based on appropriate competencies, supported by coaching on the job, if necessary.

  • Starting the first Agile Release Train (ART)

    A clear strategy, organization and content for the ART launch must be defined and prepared. The focus should be on bringing the PDCA cycle (Plan-Do-Check-Act) to life instead of a comprehensive "conceptualization" of the first PIs.

  • Utilitze tools, support & best practices

    The use of agile tools such as Jira and Confluence ensures guidance and transparent documentation. Best practices from other ARTs or LACE teams can be used and optimized.

When is scaled agile transformation the right way to go?

Existing complex structures

Organizations that need to coordinate multiple teams and departments benefit from scaled agile approaches that optimize collaboration and create transparency.

Fast-moving markets

Companies that operate in dynamic and highly competitive industries need flexible and adaptive methods in order to be able to react quickly to market changes.

Robust IT and product development

Scaled agility promotes close collaboration between IT and product development, which leads to faster innovation cycles and better products.

Focus on digital transformation

Companies that pursue comprehensive digital transformation initiatives can use scaled agile approaches to ensure the seamless integration of new technologies and processes.
