Scaled Agile – Sirocco’s SAFe way
Scaled Agile – Sirocco’s SAFe way of working
Much of our success as a company is a direct result of how we work.
At Sirocco, our success isn’t by chance—it’s by design. The way we work is grounded in delivering value fast and continuously, ensuring that every project we undertake drives measurable impact. That’s why we’ve chosen the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) as the cornerstone of our operations and customer projects.
SAFe isn’t just a framework. It provides a proven, scalable, and highly adaptable system for applying Agile principles across even the most complex organisations. With its structured approach to scaling Agile, SAFe enables teams to collaborate seamlessly, deliver faster, and meet evolving customer needs with confidence. If your organisation is ready to move beyond traditional methods and achieve lasting excellence, there’s no better time to start.
Research shows that over 70% of digital transformations fail.
That’s a harsh reality, but it doesn’t have to be your story. The culprits are well-documented: a lack of bold vision, disengaged teams, and insufficient investment in the skills needed to drive sustainable change. These obstacles derail progress, but they are entirely solvable with the right approach.
This is where SAFe comes in. By promoting alignment, collaboration, and efficient delivery across multiple Agile teams, SAFe directly tackles these challenges. Recent data from the “State of Agile” report reveals the tangible benefits: 60% of organisations reported improved collaboration, 57% saw better alignment with business goals, and a quarter delivered higher-quality software. When Agile is implemented the right way, the results aren’t just good—they’re transformative. Are you ready to be part of the 30% that succeeds?
Every organisation, no matter its size, faces the challenge of staying competitive while adapting to constant change.
The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) offers a clear, proven path to meet this challenge head-on. Whether you’re a small business looking to streamline operations or a large enterprise managing complex portfolios, SAFe provides the structure and flexibility needed to succeed.
By implementing SAFe, you can align teams, improve collaboration, and create the agility required to pivot when market conditions shift. It’s not just about keeping up—it’s about setting the pace and finding opportunities where others see obstacles. If you’re ready to turn challenges into growth, this is the framework to make it happen.
Here are some SAFe highlights:
Systems Thinking
The main goal of systems thinking in SAFe is to help you look at the system as a whole rather than focusing on problems in individual components. You don’t want to make isolated decisions without taking into account the interdependencies with other components. You want your decisions to work for the complete system.
Incorporating Systems Thinking into our workflow emphasizes the importance of understanding and optimizing the processes that contribute to our and our customer’s goals. Identifying Operational Value Streams, which represent the sequence of activities required to deliver a product or service to customers/users. By focusing on these value streams, we prioritize a holistic view of production and service delivery, aiming to streamline operations, enhance quality, and maximize value.
Organize around value
In the context of SAFe, organizations are encouraged to establish both planning and reflection cadences across all levels to ensure a unified focus on the core objective: creating value. This necessitates a comprehensive understanding among all team members not only of the business’s status and objectives but also of the specific value we aim to deliver and the intended beneficiaries. By prioritizing value creation in this manner, we align our efforts not just on the procedural aspects of our work but, more importantly, on the substantive outcomes we seek to achieve for our customers.
Alignment
SAFe requires that companies put planning and reflection cadences in place at all levels of the organization. This ensures everyone understands the current state of the business, the goals, and how everyone should move together to achieve those goals.
Built-in Quality:
In the SAFe framework, agility should never come at the cost of quality. SAFe requires teams at all levels to define what “done” means for each task or project and to bake quality development practices into every working agreement.
Transparency
SAFe encourages trust-building behaviour, including planning work in smaller batch sizes so problems can surface sooner, providing real-time visibility into backlog progress across levels, and inspecting and adapting rituals.
