Overcoming common SAFe problems with Org Topologies
Laurens Bonnema and Roland Flemm
In this session, Laurens Bonnema (SAFe Practice Consultant) and Roland Flemm (Org Topologies co-author) will examine SAFe pitfalls and demonstrate how Org Topologies can help boost your SAFe configuration.
Some key SAFe mistakes that we observe when consulting:
Asking for more than you can get done.
Scaling when you don’t have to.
Adding overhead before establishing you need it.
Staffing positions with unqualified people without proper training.
Suffering from Insufficient Miracle Syndrome.
We will be talking about rightsizing the demand in an organization, structuring teams for optimal effectiveness, and true prioritization, using Org Topologies to guide us.

"Highly recommended! This training shows the disadvantages of how organizations tend to scale and the pitfalls of a framework approach... It shows the way in the transformation journey towards the perfection state of high adaptivity and innovation, with tips and tools to move from working as a group of teams to working as one team (of teams)."
