Our approach for implementing SAFe is based on the SAFe Implementation Roadmap. Additionally, we have a unique approach that adapts and binds organizational change leadership along with Kotter’s 8-Step Process and the Prosci ADKAR model. This approach sets Agile Rising apart and allows us to tailor our solutions to your challenges while creating the environment for thinking and success.

We specialize in partnering with senior leaders from across the organization, including IT, Business, Finance, People Operations (HR), Sales, and Marketing, to form a guiding coalition that is prepared for organizational change leadership. Our goal is to help you build a system that optimizes the entire enterprise.
We help to address some of the largest challenges that organizations face when trying to scale Agile and DevOps: changing funding and budgeting models, aligning strategic planning cycles, and implementing Lean portfolio management. When you are ready to move beyond training and coaching development teams and want to apply Agile and Lean across your entire organization, Agile Rising is the partner you need.
To be successful in any transformation your organization will need experienced change leaders.

Set the stage for success by scripting the important moves. This can be accomplished by bringing in the right team of external change agents to power up your transformation.
We need a complete cross-functional team that is dedicated to the success of the transformation. And like every Agile team, it needs a leader, a backlog, and people to do the work. Let’s call it a guiding coalition. Defining the purpose and mission for this team is a top priority on our list of activities to accomplish in our discovery cycle.
Digital Transformation with SAFe and TBM
If your organization is undergoing a digital transformation that is driving very difficult spend and value discussions, let us help you build some new organizational instincts. Taking an enterprise systems view to your complex product and service delivery may help you choose where to start to develop patterns for success. Using the Technology Business Management framework practices in parallel with SAFe can enhance your organization’s ability to achieve business agility.
If your IT group struggles to justify spend and the business is always frustrated with delayed schedules and quality issues, perhaps it is time to shift thinking to value conversations. TBM and SAFe work well together as complementary bodies of knowledge with in-depth insights and guidance on how you can build a new system that feeds on learning rather than struggle.
