SAFe is the opposite of agile. It's what companies practicing waterfall (or any other heavyweight, non-agile process) turn to when they don't understand the problem, lack the will to solve it, but are compelled by external forces to make a change. When the board issues an edict to "adopt agile" because someone told them it was good, SAFe is what they turn to. It's anti-agile. Not only does it not solve the problem, it adds even more overhead. There's a whole industry built around the lie.
