Down Under SPC sensei Mark Richards, who has been an early and active advocate of applying SAFe in the Australia marketplace, has started a new blog series on his experiences in SAFe-style Release Planning. He notes that it took some time before he found the right opportunity for this critical SAFe event (if you aren’t doing SAFe face to face Release Planning, or comparable, you aren’t fully receiving the benefits of SAFe), and he approached it with some trepidation, but his first experience was very successful, as he notes:
It really is magical how much energy and alignment happens when 100 people with a common purpose collaborate for 2 days.
My sentiments exactly. Mark has promised to share the learnings over time in a new Blog Series which he just started.
We can trust his commitment, as he’s done this before, as you can see from this series highlighted in a SAFe case study
Thanks again Mark!
