“ Many leaders pride themselves on setting the high-level direction and staying

out of the details. But big picture, hands off leadership isn’t likely to work in a
change situation, because the hardest part of change—the paralyzing part—is
in the details.

Any successful change requires a translation of ambiguous goals into concrete


behaviors. To make a switch, you need to script the critical moves.

—Dan and Chip Heath, Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard

SAFe Implementation Roadmap


This is the home page for the SAFe® Implementation Roadmap series, which consists of 12 articles.

The SAFe Implementation Roadmap consists of an overview graphic and a 12-article series
that describes a strategy and an ordered set of activities that have proven to be effective in Getting Started with
successfully implementing SAFe. Implementing SAFe:

Achieving business agility and the benefits of Lean-Agile development at scale is not a trivial
effort, so SAFe is not a trivial framework. Before realizing SAFe’s rewards, organizations
must embrace a Lean-Agile Mindset as well as understand and apply Lean-Agile principles.
They must identify Value Streams and Agile Release Trains (ARTs), implement a Lean-Agile
portfolio, build quality in, and establish the mechanisms for continuous value delivery and
DevOps. And, of course, the culture must evolve as well.

Based on proven organizational change management strategies, the SAFe Implementation


Roadmap graphic and article series describes the steps or “critical moves” an enterprise can
take to implement SAFe in an orderly, reliable, and successful fashion.

Details
In order to achieve the desired organizational change, leadership must “script the critical moves,” as described by Dan and Chip Heath
[1]. When it comes to identifying those critical moves for adopting SAFe, hundreds of the world’s largest enterprises have already gone
down this path (see Customer Stories), and successful adoption patterns have emerged. A fairly standard pattern is shown in Figure 1.

While no two adoptions are identical and there is rarely a perfectly sequential step-by-step implementation in any enterprise, we know
that businesses getting the best results typically follow a path similar to that shown in the Implementation Roadmap. It includes the
following 12 steps:

1. Reaching the Tipping Point


2. Train Lean-Agile Change Agents
3. Train Executives, Managers, and Leaders
4. Create a Lean-Agile Center of Excellence
5. Identify Value Streams and ARTs
6. Create the Implementation Plan
7. Prepare for ART Launch
8. Train Teams and Launch the ART
9. Coach ART Execution
10. Launch More ARTs and Value Streams
11. Extend to the Portfolio
12. Accelerate

This article serves as a launching pad to explore these steps in detail and understand how to apply them to specific implementations.

Start with the first article: Reaching the Tipping Point.
