Agile, or Business Agility, is built on empirical process control. In essence, a process where we learn through doing and use the data and evidence we gather to inform our next hypothesis and the experiments we design to prove or disprove that hypothesis.
A process of continuous improvement through learning what does and doesn’t work given the unique context and application of what we are trying to build or what problem we are trying to solve.
So, does the SAFe Quickstart ART Launch program evolve with each implementation and is it a product that is in continuous development?
The answer is yes.
Multi-national SAFe implementations informing the program
The international SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) community, consisting of SAFe consultants and coaches, use their knowledge and experience of implementing SAFe in various applications and various industries around the world to help the program develop and evolve.
SAFe, the organization behind the design and development of the agile framework, gather data and insights from these professionals around the world to inform what elements of the Quickstart ART Launch program need to be amended and provide insights into which elements consistently produce the best outcomes and results.
SAFe act as the product owner of the SAFe Quickstart ART Launch program but so do each of the individual SAFe consulting and coaching agencies around the world, and they take the continuous improvement and development of the program very seriously.
A great initial start builds momentum for the agile adoption and the data gathered during the launch program provides executives and leadership teams with evidence that the agile framework is producing the outcomes and delivering the outcomes they need.
The success of this program, and the successful implementation of SAFe across multiple industries and applications, is based on the evidence that the framework helps organizations achieve their business and customer objectives.
So, in summary, yes, the product is in continuous improvement and each application informs best practice for initial adoptions around the world.
