The critique by agile experts of SAFe would be more convincing if they had shown earlier how to scale up agile. While not a fan of SAFe or any agile cargo cult

  Self-organization at scale: Teal / Holacracy / Sociocracy. In the case of holacracy: Imagine a world where your company, its rules and all its employees including the bosses are bound by a constitution [0]. Or have a look at Coplien's Scrum patterns [1] patterns that do involve "planning", and that are also supplemented by his decade old organizational pattern work outside of just Scrum.

  The idea that you can scale agile is false. It's fake. Agile experts didn't say how to do it because it can't be done. They put everything they knew, as clearly as they could, in the manifesto. And then they described themselves. And almost all of them were consultants. They found that delivering software frequently to their customers worked better than any alternative. If you can do that, you can do agile. It doesn't matter if your customers are internal or external - internal might be better, because you can work with them more regularly.
