Restructuring IT Service Delivery with SAFe®

IT Service Organisations commonly utilize Project Management approach to deliver value to their customers. They often need to hire and assemble project team members based on the project; sometimes the projects are extended every six months towards a long-term contract or only less than six months. There are many disadvantages of keeping the talent in waiting mode and also creating a search program for each for their project, these two approaches as mentioned below does have a problem in the short-term and long-term, and it is inefficient.

We suggest taking a look at the Scaled Agile Framework SAFe® which provides a lean-agile organization structure, where you can arrange your teams for a specific vertical in the form of Agile Release Trains for Large Solutions as Solution trains to deliver value through Teams or Programs or Solutions.
