When should I choose SAFe? With Olatunde Adekunle

This week’s Trainer Talk is with Tunde, SAFe Program Consultant (SPC). Tunde shares factors to consider when you are trying to decide if the Scaled Agile Framework is right for your business need. Key Takeaways: As a trainer, many people reach out to me and say, “Olatunde, why would you suggest SAFe?” Well, it’s easy: Any time you are trying to deliver a large quantity of software into the market You need the teams to synchronize and align on what they are delivering You want your organization to gain an edge over the competitors in the market! Finally, if you want your organization to understand the concept of “personas.” In the market that simply means “whom we are building this software for? What are their likes? What are their dislikes? Also, when you have competitors, you know what some of their strengths are, what are some of their weaknesses, what are some of the opportunities and what are some of the threats. When you have all these criteria in mind, then I would suggest that you go SAFe. SAFe is not for every organization. And every organization is not for SAFe. Nonetheless, I will always suggest SAFe whenever you meet those criteria. The best time to start your implementation of SAFe in your organization is now! There will never be a perfect time. There will never be a perfect season. You know there will not be. There will never be a perfect budget. Just start. And as you evolve, as you get better, you will start noticing that SAFe has a lot of potentials and a lot of benefits for your organization. So, when in the market, SAFe also has all the benefits that help you gain an edge over the competitors in the market.
