To survive in today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, organisations must respond to market changes and expedite delivery cycles without compromising quality. However, implementing an Agile approach across all levels of the organisation to accelerate flow can be challenging within a complex enterprise. How can you achieve visibility? And how do you measure success?
The latest iteration of SAFe, version 6.0, highlights SAFe principle #6 – Make Value Flow Without Interruptions and the eight “flow accelerators” as the means to accelerate value flow across all enterprise levels. At this upcoming fireside chat, Mik Kersten, CTO of Planview, will discuss this principle’s practical applications to accelerate flow at all levels.
The event will consist of 45 minutes of panelist content, followed by 30 minutes discussion and Q&A.
