In this engaging and high energy talk, Francis Kelly will discuss and explain how SAFe, the Scaled Agile Framework leverages agile best practices, brings in the concepts of lean and principles of product development flow to achieve alignment, transparency and visibility from the teams through the program and portfolio of an enterprise to ensure value delivery and customer satisfaction, all with happy developers! 

Expect a fast paced, high energy talk intended to educate and inspire organizations to go SAFe!

Scaling Agile is now proven in a multitude of Fortune 500 companies. From the case studies and presentations, it could look easy -- just follow what everyone else is doing, right?

But just as the anti-patterns of Scrum can maim the team, false starts at scale can paralyze the enterprise. Which six appear most often?  In this session, Francis discusses how to be proactive in these unSAFe situations:

• Managers not thinking Lean and teams believing in chickens and pigs
• Alignment as lip service
• Prioritization as a game
• Building a portfolio practice without strong program execution
• Using Agile to build bad code faster
• Never looking back

We know that bullets may not be silver and fixes may not be quick... but knowledge is key to enterprise safety!
