What are the specific outcomes organizations receive after the SAFe Quickstart ART Launch program?
It depends on the context of the organization.
Many organizations have a software element to their product or service, and they want to deliver a superior product to the market within shorter time frames than they traditionally deliver. SAFe is a proven agile framework for improving product development capabilities and aligning business objectives with customer value and so it’s a great fit for this kind of organization.
So, most of the business objectives for an agile adoption or SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) implementation align with achieving competitive advantage in the marketplace whilst reducing cost and time in the delivery of that product to customers.
Building better quality products, faster than competitors, whilst reducing costs.
Key drivers of Agile adoption:
- Time to market: Deliver value faster and more effectively
- Quality: Achieving competitive advantage through superior product quality & performance.
- Innovation: Run more experiments, more effectively, and innovate faster than competitors.
- Customer Satisfaction: Better understanding of what customers want/need, and creating products and features that truly delight customers and increase customer satisfaction.
- Less Waste: Identifying products and features that should not be built because they fail to deliver value to customers and waste organizational resources.
In an organization pursuing business agility, outcomes are driven by customer demand/requirements and aligned with business objectives and capabilities.
So, what Value Glide do through something like the SAFe Quickstart ART Launch program is help that organization identify how value is created and consumed throughout the value chain, and help the team identify how they are going to create value for customers whilst aligning with important and specific business objectives.
The program enables teams to visualise what good or great performance looks like, what the value stream map looks like, and empowers them to track performance against predetermined goals and objectives.
The team are clear on why they are doing the work they are doing, why it matters to both the customer and the organization and are provided with a lightweight agile framework that empowers them to work effectively and efficiently.
The empirical feedback loops designed and created during the SAFe Quickstart ART Launch program allows executives, leadership teams, and product development teams to see how they are performing and whether they are moving the needle on the metrics that lead to success.
