We are always grateful to the SPCs in the field who are transforming enterprises to a new and better Lean and Agile way of working with SAFe. It’s heavy lifting, but the results (see Case Studies, many more on the way): higher quality and productivity, faster time to market, higher quality of work life, are so worth it. Many of the SPCs are thought leaders in their own right, and contribute directly to the SAFe body of knowledge.
Eric Willeke from Rally is a good example. He recently opined on the critical role that the interesting mechanism of “PI Objectives” play in aligning the business and helping Agile Release Trains achieve better outcomes. His post is here: Role of PI Objectives in SAFe.
And a while back, he contributed another neat bit of work, highlighting how SAFe applies WIP limits, both explicitly and simplicity at the Portfolio level, where it really counts. Just for reference, that post is Perspective on SAFe Portfolio-WIP-Limits.
Both of these belong in Guidance, so I’ll talk to Eric and see if we can get that accomplished.
Thanks Eric!
