honestly, i've always been of the impression that SAFe and, to a degree, Scrum have just been adapters installed to "increase engineering autonomy" in a way that maximizes compatibility with traditional project management. at hugeco's, someone, somewhere, is translating story points into man-hours and velocity into project burn in dollars, usually in a guarded Excel spreadsheet. engineers running the show at these places would accelerate companies to the stratosphere (because engineers can do pretty much anything with enough money and autonomy). a man can dream.
