Yup. And the OP did nothing to dissuade me from that. 12 weeks instead of 2 isn't actually helpful; the whole goal of the 2 week sprint was to find a balance between minimal amount of time needed to recognize 'we're going to take longer than anticipated', and actually being able to deliver something useful. Going to 12 just means that you won't recognize things are slipping until the quarter is up.
- brightball 7y agoYou still break things into 2 week iterations over the 8-12 weeks. You still check in on things, get feedback and determine if changes or pivoting is needed. Nothing stops that. What it does stop is all of the planning meetings crammed in every 2 week time period while also giving a forum for planning between all of your other teams. There’s no advantage of scrum that is denied with SAFe. It just gets rid of most of the problems that I’ve experienced with it in the last 10-15 years.
