SaFe & Project- and portfolio management

SaFe & PPM

Organizations need an overview across activities. This applies to both traditional portfolio and project-driven organizations, but also to organizations that have implemented an agile delivery model. Aety provides solutions that can support a traditional PPM setup, scaled agile setups, but also hybrid solutions where an organization has implemented different frameworks.

Scaled agile frameworks, such as SaFe

Many organizations have implemented agile transformations, where concrete process models have been implemented, such as Scrum, Kanban and eXtreme Programming. In larger organizations with several agile teams, a framework has also been implemented to handle the management across agile teams towards established initiatives. There are a large number of these frameworks, including Spotify and LeSS. In Denmark, however, it is SaFe that has won out.
SaFe is a framework organizations can use to coordinate and manage initiatives across teams. By using lean and agile methods like SaFe, organizations can achieve a higher strategic alignment to make the right decisions. Aety has several solutions to support your organization’s transformation journey, for example, the implementation of SaFe. Our solutions can be implemented according to a number of fully developed templates or adapted to your specific implementation of a scaled agile framework.

Hybrid solutions

Several organizations implement both solutions across the organization. In some departments or divisions, a traditional PPM framework is managed and in others, it is an agile scaled framework. It may also be that a traditional PPM framework is operated, where the implementation phase is implemented using agile process models, such as Scrum, KanBan, or something else. Aety’s solutions can be customized to support the hybrid model.
