SAFe - Train N Launch ART

The document discusses implementing the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) to improve time-to-market, quality, productivity, and employee engagement. It recommends training change agents, executives, and teams, and launching Agile Release Trains (ARTs). ARTs allow self-organizing teams to deliver value through user stories aligned with a program vision and architecture, while the portfolio level focuses on strategy, investment funding, and governance through Lean approaches. The document also outlines SAFe 4.0 principles such as taking a systems view, iterative development, frequent integration and testing, risk management, limiting work-in-progress, cross-domain synchronization, objective milestones, and decentralized decision making.
