Updated: Jan 24, 2023

ADVOCATES OF THE PROGRAM:


1. Create a reference model by Self-Organizing Agile Teams


2. Requires leadership support by building guiding collation


3. Do not scale crappy code- building quality is a must


4. Dual Operating System- Organize around the flow of value


5. Relentlessly improve by Transparency, Inspection, and Adaptation


6. Build based on your organizational context- as there exists no fixed prescription


COMPARISON AND CONTRAST BETWEEN SCRUM@SCALE AND SAFe PROGRAM


SAFe AND SCRUM@SCALE PROGRAM EXECUTION


EVENTS ARE SIMILAR EXCEPT FOR A DIFFERENCE IN TERMINOLOGY



Program Level Events are the same except that in S@S we do not have Innovation & Planning Iteration.



META SCRUM IN SCRUM@SCALE VS. PI PLANNING IN SAFe



Meta Scrum in Scrum@Scale is not explained in very detail but has the same purpose as PI Planning in SAFe which is 2 days cadence-based event every 4-6 iterations. This is to align the teams on a train and plan for the program increment.


SCRUM@SCALE AND SAFe ASSESS MATURITY BY SELF-ASSESSMENT


Scrum@Scale focuses on 3 Major Issues and 12 other components for measure and growth which becomes the basis of self-assessment and further improvement.

Measure and Grow is the way portfolios evaluate their progress in Business Agility and determine their next improvement steps using the 21 dimensions from 7 Core values (3 Each)



JIRA ALIGN SUPPORT BOTH S@S AND SAFe IMPLEMENTATION


Jira Align and Jira integration drives value from inception (idea) to Cash.


• Formulating the vision, and strategy and getting the same communicated with everyone in a transparent way making us understand why we are doing, what we are doing


• Implementing most of the scaling framework building blocks from individuals to teams, programs, large solutions, and portfolios using the PI Planning and releasing process much easier


• Close collaboration gaps and unlock enterprise agility


• Helps us to prioritize the work and get predictability thus improving the relationship between business and IT


• Easier to integrate with great support from the Atlassian team to make it swift
