With over thirty-five years of experience as a federal contractor, I’ve seen the tides of government priorities, technology, and administration shift more times than I can count. If there’s one constant in federal contracting, it’s change—and those who aren’t prepared find themselves left behind. In today’s rapidly evolving environment, driven by new technology and shifting policies, preparation and adaptability aren’t optional—they’re essential.

The SAFe for Government event on September 25 in Washington, D.C., is designed for integrators and contractors who want more than just survival—they want to lead, adapt, and thrive.

The Reality: Pressing Challenges Federal Integrators Face

Federal system integrators and contractors operate in one of the most complex arenas. In supporting government agencies, we face significant, growing hurdles:

• Workforce Uncertainty and Talent Shortages: Competition for highly-skilled talent is fierce, with specialized technical expertise in short supply. At the same time, workforce downsizing within agencies creates compliance oversight gaps and delays in contract performance.
• Compliance and Cybersecurity Complexity: Regulations and requirements, stemming from evolving cybersecurity frameworks, necessitate rigorous oversight, staff training, and continuous adaptation to prevent costly penalties or disqualification from programs.
• Procurement and Delivery Pressures: Traditional acquisition models slow down innovation. Contractors struggle with rigid federal procurement, red tape, and ever-tightening timelines, making it harder to deliver meaningful outcomes quickly.
• Financial and Operational Risk: Stop work orders, delayed payments, and shifting funding priorities can threaten financial stability and project continuity for even the most experienced firms.

How SAFe Responds

The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) offers a flexible, proven structure for navigating these challenges. The Scaled Agile Government team has tailored government-specific training and guidance to help you on your journey of growth.  Here’s how SAFe helps you succeed:

• Workforce Agility: SAFe provides a model for building adaptable, cross-functional teams—making it easier to mitigate talent shortages and maintain delivery standards even when resources shift.
• Streamlined Compliance: Its principles emphasize transparency, accountability, and built-in quality, helping contractors meet federal compliance, security, and reporting requirements more reliably.
• Accelerated Procurement and Delivery: SAFe’s lean and agile practices allow projects to pivot rapidly as agency priorities evolve, shrinking delivery cycles and increasing client satisfaction.
• Resilience Amid Change: SAFe fosters a culture prepared for the inevitable: change. Whether it’s technology shifts, new administration mandates, or emergency government actions, organizations grounded in SAFe weather transitions more smoothly.

Why You Should Attend

• Learn What Works: Benefit from real-world stories of contractors and partners successfully using SAFe to solve today’s obstacles in federal delivery.
• Get Ahead of Change: Acquire practical tools to anticipate, adapt to, and lead through change—no matter what the next administration brings.
• Strengthen Your Network: Exchange insights with peers who also support our nation’s missions, and build alliances for the future.

In federal contracting, transformation is non-negotiable. Whether you’re grappling with workforce shortages, navigating procurement hurdles, or ensuring compliance in a shifting landscape, SAFe equips you to not just face change, but drive it.

Join your colleagues on September 25. Invest in the framework that supports bold, capable, and resilient federal delivery. See you at SAFe for Government in D.C.—where innovation meets opportunity.

What’s Next for Business Agility? Find out at the 2025 SAFe^® Summit

by Hannah Bink, Vice President Marketing, nVeris

The State of SAFe® Report offers an unfiltered look at the patterns, pain points, and progress shaping SAFe adoption. This year’s report surfaces a clear and persistent theme:

“Value stream identification remains a major gap. A significant number of organizations have struggled to organize around value, instead maintaining existing hierarchical and project-based structures. Without true value stream alignment, organizations may struggle with dependencies, prioritization, and flow.”

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

Despite gains in delivery maturity and tooling, many SAFe enterprises are still stuck at the starting line when it comes to designing around flow. Value Stream and ART Identification Workshops are meant to help. But for many teams, these sessions can feel like more friction than fuel.

So what’s getting in the way—and how do we fix it?

Why Value Stream and ART Identification Workshops Often Stalls Before It Starts

Based on conversations with SAFe leaders across industries, a few patterns emerge:

• Most teams are still operating from project-era org charts, not from true value delivery paths.
• Sessions often get bogged down in politics, ambiguity, or endless sticky-note debates.
• Facilitators report spending weeks prepping, only to lose momentum in the first hour.
• And many teams—despite good intentions—walk away with a diagram, but not a decision.

The report highlights that many organizations are struggling to move beyond initial implementation, often falling into anti-patterns like adopting SAFe in name only or maintaining legacy structures. These gaps present a critical opportunity to equip internal leaders with better tools for enabling real alignment.

SAFe provides the structure. What many organizations need now is a better way to activate it in the room.

A Better Way to Run Value Stream and ART Identification Workshops

This year at SAFe® Summit Denver, a new Master Class is offering a hands-on way to close this critical capability gap.

Master Class: Running High-Impact Value Stream & ART Identification Workshops

Date: Monday, September 8, 2025
Time: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Location: SAFe Summit Denver (Pre-conference training)
Cost: $595 (includes one-year access to nVeris)

This full-day experience is designed for anyone who’s ever led (or been asked to lead) a Value Stream and ART Identification Workshop and thought, “There’s got to be a better way to run this.” There is. And you’ll learn it in one day.

What You’ll Learn and Do

This is not a lecture. It’s a live simulation experience, designed to help Agile leaders:

• Simulate a value stream in real time—no weeks of prep required
• Defuse political tension with anonymized scoring and structured facilitation
• Model the financial impact of proposed improvements—in the room, not as a follow-up
• Align cross-functional teams fast by visualizing flow and friction together
• Build repeatable confidence to lead high-stakes sessions anywhere in the enterprise

Plus, you’ll leave with a toolkit to use immediately, backed by One-year access to nVeris, the AI-powered value stream mapping platform behind the session.

Who This Master Class Is For

If your role involves facilitation, transformation, or coaching inside a SAFe enterprise, this session was built for you:

• Agile Coaches & SPCs
• LACE, CoE, and Transformation Office leads
• PMO and VMO leaders

Whether you’ve run dozens of workshops or are about to lead your first, this class gives you the framework, language, and tools to show up with credibility and drive real change.

Turn Insight Into Action

The 2025 State of SAFe Report articulates a real problem. But the gap in value stream & ART identification does not have to be permanent.

With the right tools, structure, and simulation in hand, it’s possible to go from alignment theory to alignment reality in a single session.

Before the Summit begins, give yourself a powerful advantage.

What’s Next for Business Agility? Find out at the 2025 SAFe^® Summit

by Karen Lewison, Sr. Event Strategy & Sponsorship Manager

Every year, I get a front-row seat to something special: transforming a simple idea into an experience that brings thousands of people together to learn, grow, and lead. That’s what happens behind the scenes leading up to every SAFe^® Summit, and I hope you’ll join us in Denver this September..

And this year’s event will be unlike any we’ve done before.

The SAFe Summit isn’t just a conference. It’s a curated, immersive experience built for leaders, practitioners, and change agents navigating the complexities of enterprise agility. We intentionally design every detail, speaker, workshop, networking opportunity, and coffee break to help you move from inspiration to implementation.

Changes happening at lightning speed. AI advancements. Evolving customer expectations. Pressure to deliver faster with fewer resources. The ability to adapt isn’t just nice to have—it’s mission-critical. And it’s exactly why we created this Summit.

What is the SAFe Summit?

If you’re new to the SAFe community, welcome. The SAFe Summit is our flagship event—a multi-day gathering of Agile leaders, practitioners, and executives from around the world who are using the Scaled Agile Framework^® to accelerate digital transformation, align strategy with execution, and unlock business agility at scale.

Whether you’re in the middle of your transformation or just starting out, the SAFe Summit is the place to get practical insights, hear inspiring stories, and connect with a community that understands your journey. It’s also the perfect place to lean in, roll up your sleeves, and walk away with new ideas and relationships  that fuel what’s next.

What’s in It for You?

1. Practical learning from the source

This is where SAFe comes alive. Learn directly from the creators of the Framework and the experts using it in the field. Whether you’re leading a team or shaping enterprise strategy, you’ll leave with tangible practices you can put into action on Monday.

2. Access to thought leaders and innovators

Ask questions, join discussions, and challenge your thinking alongside top Agile minds. From Lean Portfolio Management to Organizational Change, you’ll hear what’s working, what’s evolving, and where things are headed.

3. Exposure to New Tools, Ideas, and Perspectives

With multiple learning tracks tailored to your role and level of experience, you’ll discover cutting-edge tools and fresh ways of thinking to help you stay ahead in a constantly changing environment.

We’re always asking ourselves how we can design an event where attendees participate, contribute, and feel energized to act?

Introducing the AI Symposium

This year, we’re adding something big and timely: the AI Symposium. A brand-new experience designed for enterprise leaders who are ready to explore the impact and opportunity of AI across the enterprise The AI Symposium is your gateway to cutting-edge sessions, thought-provoking keynotes, and practical tools designed to help you accelerate agility, innovation, and value delivery.

Who is it for?

Executives, change agents, architects, and practitioners who are ready to ask bold questions:

• How can we make our organization AI-native?
• What does responsible AI adoption look like?
• How can we use AI to enhance—not replace—human decision-making?

The AI Symposium isn’t about hype. It’s about equipping you with the mindset, principles, and practical tools to move forward and lead in the era of AI-native transformation with clarity and confidence. And the best part? Registration includes access to a two-day AI-Native Foundations Certification Course. So in just three days, you’ll attend the Summit, dive into the AI conversation, and earn a credential to help guide your enterprise into the future.

A Community That Moves With You

Ask anyone who’s a repeat SAFe Summit attendee and they’ll say It’s the people who make the biggest impact. Personally, I  love seeing unplanned moments unfold. Two people bumping into each other at the coaching station and realizing they’re solving the same problem on opposite sides of the world. A hallway conversation that leads to a partnership. A shared moment in a workshop that completely shifts someone’s thinking.

We design for those moments. You’ll experience curated workshops where you’ll collaborate across roles and industries. Networking receptions and social events, where you’ll meet peers who become collaborators (and maybe even friends). Real talk, not just buzzwords, about what’s working and where we still struggle.

The SAFe Summit is your chance to find your people, your spark, and your path forward.

Let’s Build What’s Next, Together

If you’ve been wondering what’s next on your SAFe journey. If you’re ready to be inspired, challenged, and supported. If you want to be in the room where transformation is actually happening, join us.

by Zack Brown, Partner Solutions Strategist, Atlassian

Introduction
Atlassian has recently published a white paper outlining how we define Enterprise Strategy and Planning and as someone who has been a SAFe Program Consultant (SPC) for close to a decade now, I wanted to provide an summary translation for practitioners on how I see this working with SAFe and other frameworks.

Introducing six core facets

Core to this white paper is the introduction of six “facets” of Enterprise Strategy and Planning that come together flexibly to define an organization’s current and future approach. Below is a quick explainer of these facets, their purpose and some examples:

Core Facet	Purpose	Example	Translation
Goals	To align team efforts towards common objectives	Setting a company-wide goal to improve customer satisfaction.	Instead of using OKRs or systems like AARRR or HEART, this facet focuses on making goals work for everyone
Work	To visualize the connection between daily tasks and strategic goals.	Linking individual tasks to a broader project goal in Jira.	This is the primary way folks interact with Atlassian tools today, to manage their work
Talent	To ensure accountability and visibility of team contributions.	Identifying team members responsible for specific objectives.	Who is working on what, both in an individual sense and a team sense
Funds	To manage financial resources effectively in relation to strategic priorities.	Budgeting for a new software tool as part of operational costs.	Both CapEx and OpEx, tracking the costs that it actually takes to achieve work or goals
Systems	To ensure that the right tools and processes are in place to support strategy.	Utilizing a project management tool to streamline workflows.	All the tools and platforms it takes to account for goals, NFRs – and bringing hidden costs to the front to maintain a sustainable pace of development
Updates	To keep all stakeholders informed about progress and changes.	Regularly scheduled updates on project status shared via email or a dashboard.	Not just the facets themselves, but the conversation around facets – acknowledging the importance of the three Cs, but tracked in a digital, distributed format

As you can see, these facets align closely with data elements across the Atlassian platform, something that our product teams have been working very specifically on improving. Goals are an integrated experience across the entire Atlassian platform, visible in every application. Work can be tracked in JSM, Jira, Focus or Jira Align but, in all cases, the products are built to be able to navigate from the work you did today to the long-term company strategy without losing context of who is working on it and how it’s going. 

This white paper reinforces concepts that have been researched for years on how difficult transformations can be and proposes that Strategy should be an organizational discipline that manages outcomes the same way that PLM or DevOps have become organizational disciplines that manage product or developer quality.

So what do you do with these facets?

There are a few things you can do with these concepts, as outlined in the paper:

1. Understand and adjust the facets together – that is to say, these elements are not independent of each other, they come together in smaller groups or together to create strategic priorities, which can improve your personal, team, line of business, or company’s ability to self-govern.
2. ASSEMBLE the facets to create focus areas – examine your current priorities. Are there any facets missing? You may have a good view to what work needs to be done, who should best be working on it, and how it ladders to company priorities – but is it adequately funded?

Making it work

Different leaders in an organization want to focus on different facets of strategic priorities. Maybe you look at each priority through a solution-driven lens, a portfolio management view, or a cost-focused lens. Atlassian’s tools allow you to create custom views that cut right to the important facets for your perspective while keeping the bigger picture connected. 

In large companies, ways of working are often different across lines of business. Sometimes this is intentionally driven by leaders; other times it’s due to an incremental transformation in progress. Regardless, leaders across these different groups often need to collaborate (extensively!) to complete work across disparate systems in order to achieve their goals.

But why is that important?

Atlassian provides opportunities and a platform, which allows individuals and partners to customize to their needs. This approach is consistent with what Jira has been for organizations for 23 years now, and it helps solidify what we mean when we talk about helping organizations create a system of work.

This is not meant to be a replacement framework for anything that currently exists, nor an evolution of those frameworks, but more of a way to bring your existing system of work to life. This paper is a platform-led perspective that can augment expertise you as an individual and platforms as practices can bring to any company and their strategic priorities.

Conclusion

My own experience

In my short time working at Atlassian, it’s clear this is what everyone wants from us – and in my 10 years in consulting before that, I would have loved to have researched positions from my technology partners that help reinforce organizational change efforts that stalled for various reasons. 

I think this paper will be helpful to you, so take a look for yourself, considering these things: 

1. What facets am I focusing on in my role, and how are they connected to our overall strategic priorities?
2. Browse the ESP maturity model. Take a look at how leading organizations leverage ESP and consider how it applies to your context, and how you might use this information to support your ongoing transformation.
3. Think about how this model can support you in your specific role (people + process), your Atlassian product instances (tooling), and write down one change you want to make based off of what you’ve learned.

Last but not least, please send us feedback. Every approach evolves over time as new information becomes available, and as we broaden the collection of tools available to you to help with Enterprise Strategy and Planning, you can bet we’ll be evolving this approach with practitioner feedback.

Transforming an organization to agile methods might appear similar to standing at the base of Mt. Everest. You know you must reach the summit and return home safely, but there’s a lot to it. Scaling agile to the enterprise level, then as you’d imagine, could be akin to attempting the mountain twice. It doesn’t have to be that way. There is an incredibly active community of scaled agile practitioners who’ve seen everything, in industries ranging from healthcare to automotive and government to information systems. These practitioners are  Product Owners, Scrum Masters, RTEs, Product Managers — every role that’s integral to a successful transformation. That community is the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe) and at Agile Hive, we are immensely proud to be part of it. We’d like to give you an overview of our “SAFe in Jira” solution, which enables your teams, ARTs, solution trains, and portfolios to do everything from PI Planning to execution and reporting in one, fully integrated solution.

SAFe and Agile Hive

In this post, we’ll touch on a variety of topics, including:

An Overview of Agile Hive

Initially a handful of interrelated plugins for Jira, Agile Hive has been developed and refined over the course of almost a decade. Today, as one wholly integrated solution for enabling SAFe methodologies in the Atlassian ecosystem, Agile Hive ensures users are always up-to-date with the latest standards and is available for both Jira Data Center (DC) and Jira Cloud.

A certified Scaled Agile Platform Partner since 2019, Agile Hive is your single source of truth and the easiest and most effective way to implement SAFe in Jira. No individual alone can view the myriad work and processes within teams, across teams, and certainly not across an entire organization. This is where Agile Hive steps in. Regardless of which SAFe configuration you are using, Agile Hive is by your side and supports you with its consistent success patterns approach and correct SAFe nomenclature. Unlike other solutions that support agile processes in the Atlassian environment, Agile Hive automatically provides the entire SAFe configuration such as SAFe artifacts, dependency management, workflows, dashboards, PI Planning views, reports, and much more.

SAFe Implementation in Jira

Plan-Do-Check-Adjust (PDCA) is the cyclical process by which agile teams and Agile Release Trains (ARTs) complete their roles in the SAFe methodology through a series of iterations. PDCA creates the opportunity to make adjustments and improvements during the process, versus waiting until the end. Trying to shoehorn Jira by itself to adhere to SAFe practices can be extremely difficult. A handful of examples can include no overview of the progress within an ART, transferring Planning Interval (PI) planning from a tool into Jira, and having to do the reporting using another tool.

These and a number of other factors actually were the impetus for the creation of Agile Hive; to consolidate a small handful of disparate, separate programs into one combined tool to make SAFe in Jira not only possible but incredibly efficient and productive.

Partnering with Agile Hive and KEGON

A product of Seibert Group, one of the largest Atlassian experts worldwide, Seibert develops successful, scalable product solutions based on Atlassian systems. Seibert Group works to create an environment that promotes collaboration, as seen in their partnership with KEGON in the development of Agile Hive.

KEGON is one of the leading international SAFe experts and supports Agile Hive in all conceptual aspects. This guarantees a clean technical implementation by our development teams with expertise in Atlassian tools on the one hand and a correct technical integration on the other hand, which always takes into account the further development of SAFe. Our partnership with KEGON means customers are not only working with an incredible tooling platform, but also some of the world’s most accomplished SAFe experts.

This partnership helps clients identify and leverage potentials to optimize the speed and efficacy of their SAFe implementation. Together, we will examine the core competencies of Business Agility in an organization, considering the desired outcomes. This will encompass a comprehensive review of people, processes, tools, and their interconnections. To specify next steps and create a personalized roadmap, we then identify and prioritize improvement options hand in hand with our clients.

SAFe Leadership and Community

Seibert Group is officially accredited and part of the worldwide SAFe partner network from which the further development of the product Agile Hive benefits. As a sponsor and active attendee of events and conferences around the world year after year, including SAFe Summit, RTE Summit by Gladwell, SAFe Leadership Forum by Kegon, Jira Day by Deviniti, and many more, the Agile Hive team is deeply invested in connecting with individuals, discovering their needs, and finding the appropriate solution for them.

Additionally, Agile Hive offers monthly public reviews of its DC and Cloud products to highlight updates, review each product roadmap, and answer any questions users may have. Often included with these reviews are relevant SAFe-specific presentations and discussions related to advancements in our application. We host an extensive video library of content on our YouTube channel specific to Agile Hive and SAFe, offer timely updated content on our blog, and use our LinkedIn channel to disseminate information, events, and updates with SAFe users worldwide.
