As market leader it has attracted many criticisms including that of being overly complex and hierarchical. Earlier this year, a simpler view of SAFe—Essential SAFe—was created to help even more teams to scale effectively. In this presentation we will look at:

•  he basics of scaling - what do we mean by scaling and when is SAFe applicable
•  Essential SAFe - what is it and how can it help
•  How to be safe with SAFe - how and when to go beyond the essentials
