Team Formation and Self-Selection – Successful SAFe Journey

Safe Business Agility

In between running the Value Stream and ART Identification Workshop and actually launching an ART lies an informal process to determine what people should be involved and where. And when that informal process is rushed, it can lead to less-than-optimal outcomes. At least that’s what SPCT Marshall Guillory experienced as he worked with organizations at that point in their SAFe journey. In today’s episode, Marshall joins us to discuss the importance of team formation and self-selection for an organizations’ successful SAFe transformation.
