A few years ago, before the pandemic, I visited an Agile conference in Kyiv, Ukraine. At the very end of it there was a panel discussion with some of the big names in the European Agile world. Among many questions addressed to the panelists, there was one that I remember well. The question was: ‘What are some of the arguments against using Scrum?’ But it was not the question that scratched the back of my head, but the answer.

TL; DR: Survey: Would you recommend SAFe®? SAFe® has always been a controversial topic within the agile community. Therefore, back in 2017, I ran a survey on the Net Promoter Score® of the Scaled Agile Framework SAFe®. The result back then was -52. Four and a half years later, I believe it is time to rerun the poll: SAFe® has been through several iterations, and many more agile practitioners have experienced working with it.

Image credit: Pexels There is no team without collaboration. As Steve Jobs once stated: “ Great things in business are never done by one person ”. While different departments are responsible for their parts of the project, they all form a single company. And a company can exist only when there is room for discussion and idea exchange. In reality, many employees take on most responsibilities to avoid putting further strain on their coworkers.

For example, in project management you have data such as planned start, planned cost, planned story points, total number of risks, etc. That said, data on its own doesn’t give you or a stakeholder any real value. The real value comes when you analyze the data and extract intelligence out of it.
