Scaled Agile Announces SAFe® 5 Update to Accelerate Enterprise Digital Transformation

Scaled Agile, Inc., provider of SAFe®, the world’s leading framework for business agility, today announced an update to SAFe® 5. The evolving Scaled Agile Framework expands upon the significant advances in strategy, execution, technical and leadership competencies needed for an organization to deliver innovative business solutions faster than the competition.

“The digital world is changing at an ever-increasing pace and Scaled Agile is committed to the evolution of the framework to help organizations achieve business agility,” said Dean Leffingwell, SAI co-founder and chief methodologist. “Relentless improvement is central to this mission: it helps us improve SAFe based on experiences from our customers and partners.”

Business agility requires everyone involved in delivering solutions—business and technology leaders, development, IT operations, legal, marketing, finance, support, compliance, security, and others—use Lean and Agile practices. SAFe 5 provides extended guidance on how to extend the Lean-Agile mindset into those business areas. SAFe 5 also helps organizations master advancing DevSecOps practices which increase the frequency and quality of product releases.
