#15: What is SAFe Distilled? And a sneak peak into the new SAFe
I interviewed SAFe Fellow and author Richard Knaster, learning about hi new book SAFe Distilled and talking about the new SAFe Big Picture. Check out the ShowNotes on my blog: http://bit.ly/2ruLq8P. Here's a list of questions I'll be asking Richard: * What is the biggest misunderstanding people have about SAFe? * How has SAFe evolved since you joined the Scaled Agile team? * What was the reason behind writing SAFe Distilled? * What one crucial advice would you give a mid-sized company that is getting ready to implement SAFe? * Can you tell us why it’s so critical to have a Lean Agile Center of Excellence (LACE) to properly implement SAFe in an organization? * What can you tell us about the upcoming versions of SAFe? Why is this important? * DevOps is getting a lot of attention in the Agile community. Can you explain how DevOps is getting incorporated into SAFe? * Large contracts seem to be a particular sticking point with Agile methods (Eg. Defense Contracts involving multi-year efforts) because they want to know the total cost up-front. What advice does SAFe have for this situation? * The role of Project Management in SAFe is not as prominent. What opportunities are there for those people that are interested in growing their skills as a Project or Program manager in a SAFe enterprise?
