I read as much of the site as I could, but could somebody explain: how is SAFe different than the original agile manifesto?

- fidrelity 4y agoThe agile manifesto does not dictate any team or organisational structure. SAFe prescribes a bunch of structures, councils and processes. It is by design anti agile. Edit: this image highlights the paradox: https://www.agilest.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/scaled-agile-framework-4-5-big-picture.png https://www.agilest.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/scaled-ag... Just try to count all the roles and processes prescribed.
- gherkinnn 4y agoVery lean indeed.
- isoprophlex 4y agoIf anyone comes and tries to sell you stuff using a chart that looks like that, better show them the door immediately. That thing seems optimized to cause upper management hypnosis by its expertly designed cavalcade of hollow bullshit terminology.
- FridgeSeal 4y agoI've never seen this chart before, but I've worked with people previously that I know would get instantly giddy with excitement looking at this. The meaningless terms, the disconnected-flow-chart-but-not-a-flow-chart, the deluge of acronyms, the weird visuals and the inscrutable words and relationships, it's all there. It's a document I'd attempt to create if I was trying to parody consultants and business shenanigans, but it's real.
- db48x 4y agoI’m having an allergic reaction after looking at that chart. Where did I put that epipen?
- JamesSwift 4y agoAnd I would just like to emphasize, most of the terms and titles you see on that slide are capital-letter Proper Nouns. The agile manifesto is more a _vibe_ about how to think about work, and how to approach the process. SAFe is a full on cult that absolutely depends on every single part on that slide doing exactly what is prescribed, or else it all falls apart.
