What SAFe does is provide some sort of visibility and accountability to senior management. (Which waterfall did before it) Until the Agile community can come up with a reliable way of identifying and firing the low performers for senior management, they will keep pushing down requirements like SAFe on the organization. Fortunately, the level of opacity between budget managers (P/L) vs execution managers usually doesn't get this bad until you've got 10 - 20K employees.
- ResearchCode 4y agoHow does SAFe reliably identify "low performers"? Top companies tend not to do SAFe, I don't see the issue this solves. But I'd easily see SAFe creating low performers.
- ethbr0 4y agoBy mandating visibility. And let's be honest, SAFe is not for "I can attract talented people who can self-manage" companies. It's for "75% of my developers are scraping the bottom of the barrel, but I take what I can get because my company isn't sexy."
