Join Fred Champlain (Agile Evangelist) and Doug Page on this podcast episode as they discuss the value of Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) and how to launch a SAFe transformation in your organization.

Businesses have always been planning. However, as technology quickly evolves, organizations need to accelerate their processes to test, design, develop, and deliver software. SAFe enables organizations to be more efficient and deliver value faster to respond to volatile market conditions.

Scaled Agile Framework is a collection of organizational and workflow values, constructs, and practices used to implement agile practices at an enterprise level. By transforming the planning approach from traditional (waterfall) to Agile, businesses have shorter timeframes to build smaller amounts of work. This allows them to be more customer-centric by having more check-ins to ensure they’re building products that customers really want.

To learn more, you can watch our webinar Using the Scaled Agile Framework to drive global digital marketing. You can also read our eBook or blog to further explore SAFe.

Join Anna Kotliarevskaia (Sr. Principal Product Manager) and Andy Jordan on this podcast episode as they discuss the value and importance of developing better dynamic strategy management with roadmaps.

The world’s changing. Fast. And organizations have to keep up, or risk falling behind and losing out to their competitors. That need to evolve rapidly is driving a lot of activity – agile transformations, organizational agility, digital transformations and so on. But even as things change rapidly, they have to change in accordance with a plan. Organizations have to know what they need to do and how they need to do it. The challenge is, keeping that plan up to date in this fast-paced environment.

Enter the roadmap. An increasingly popular tool in organizations today that supports comprehensive planning easily. It is easy to adjust, simple to understand and fast to update. It can be communicated to all stakeholders without the need for a detailed explanation, and it can support everything from the current goals and objectives to the long-term vision.

You can also attend the webinar Oct 7, at 9 am PDT/ 12 noon EST to learn more. Register here: https://info.servicenow.com/WBR-ITBM-StrategyMgmt-07OCT21-AMS_LP.html
