SAFe® Fellow Program The SAFe® Fellow Program represents an elite class of experts who are able to help the world’s largest organizations accelerate digital transformation and achieve business agility. The SAFe® Fellow achievement is Scaled Agile’s most prestigious distinction, recognizing individuals who have exhibited the highest level of mastery and thought leadership in the practice and principles of SAFe. Established in 2015, this program recognizes individuals with the depth and breadth of experience to work at the highest levels of complexity in enterprise digital transformation, and who have established themselves as thought leaders in the Lean-Agile space. “With so much riding on how swiftly a business adapts and pivots during this era of radical disruption, it’s critical to work within a proven framework of practices and mindset,” says Dean Leffingwell, creator of SAFe and Chief Methodologist. “SAFe Fellows have been selected and vetted based on a combination of their ongoing contribution to the evolution of the Framework, their demonstrated success in a broad range of SAFe implementations, and their willingness to share their expertise in the public arena through writing and speaking.”—Dean Leffingwell, creator of SAFe, Chief Methodologist Current SAFe Fellows Em Campbell-Pretty Pretty Agile Jennifer Fawcett Drew Jemilo Richard Knaster Scaled Agile, Inc.
