Post-Conference Workshops

SAFe is a Framework that can and should be adapted to your context. Indeed, organizations that have successfully adapted SAFe to their specific needs tend to enjoy the greatest success. The need to configure SAFe may be driven by several factors, including domain-specific changes, the need to fit alongside other processes, and the need to interoperate with other frameworks. However, configuring SAFe also presents a risk if not done correctly.

In this workshop, we will explore how to ‘safely configure SAFe,’ how to measure the changes, and when to decide to pivot and persevere.

You will learn how to:

• Identify and prioritize opportunities to configure SAFe
• Determine the most appropriate configuration to meet context-specific needs
• Measure the success of changes and use this data to inform future actions

This workshop will teach VMO, Portfolio Leadership, and Epic Owners to visualize and manage the flow of epics through their lifecycle using the Portfolio Kanban system. You will:

• Establish horizon thinking within the Portfolio Kanban, connected to a Portfolio roadmap
• Effectively perform or coach the Epic Owner role, including facilitating the necessary collaborations to guide epics through the Portfolio Kanban process.
• Identify the data to gather for effective portfolio Kanban decisions

Are you struggling to align many value streams across large solutions and portfolios? Do you need to ensure your organization delivers maximum value at scale? This workshop will equip you with the knowledge and practical skills to build robust, interconnected roadmaps using SAFe.

In this workshop, you will learn to extend roadmapping practices to encompass large solutions and portfolios within the SAFe framework. You will discover techniques for aligning multiple value streams to a unified strategic direction, ensuring seamless flow and maximizing value for the organization. And, we will discuss several example roadmaps from organizations across a variety of industries and use them as the basis for exercises for you to apply SAFe roadmapping practices to your real-world scenario.
