Increase the organization’s flexibility by implementing agile principles and practices and set its functioning in meaningful ways that enable the quicker delivery of meaningful products.
Long-term transformation program for organizations aiming to support your business goals through agile principles and practices.
As senior consultants in agile methodology, we understand that every organization is unique, so we have designed our program to be adaptable to your specific needs.
The transformation program will impact the company in more than 20 perspectives. The exact scope of activities is tailored to the organization’s current state, goals, and existing issues.
Our program is divided into two main parts: organization and teams. We believe that successful agile transformation requires a holistic approach that encompasses not only teams but also the organization’s way of working, its structure, processes, product portfolio, principles, and values.
SAFe transformácia prebieha ako agilný projekt.
Pracuje na nej váš interný tím (tzv. LACE tím) so skupinou ScrumDesk konzultantov, ktorí budú aktívne zapojení do procesu zmeny.
Budeme pracovať s backlogom SAFe transformácie. Nastavíme spolu ciele transformácie a vyberieme najdôležitejšie problémy organizácie.
Budeme plánovať štvrťročné aj dvojtýždenné iterácie. Budeme sa pravidelne stretávať ohľadom realizácie. Budeme transparentne komunikovať s ľuďmi, ktorých sa transformácia dotkne.
