Technology

The company had begun exploring the use of Agile methods to improve processes and increase efficiency across the organization. With a traditional, project-based approach to software development, release cycle time averaged 18 months.

They struggled to streamline their processes and turnaround times were longer than they needed to be. Senior management and leadership team of the organization in this transitional journey were willing to explore SAFe. They had to find a way to accelerate delivery to meet market demands.

Challenge

The company sought to transition from traditional development to Agile, as well as bring an Agile mindset to business units beyond software to address the needs of a dynamic customer environment.

Solution

With the SAFe implementation, the company was able to bring average release cycle times down from 18 months to 6 months. Sprint and PI deliveries were on time, leading to release on demand.

Pharmaceuticals

Although the company had started using Agile practices for several years at a small scale, it had continued to deliver most of its programs using traditional approaches. Taking the decision to adopt Agile methods more broadly across its IT change portfolio, the company sought help to support their transformation effort.

They were looking for a framework to help them scale Agile quickly as they ran large, complex programs. Scaled Agile Framework® was selected as the framework to be applied to support the adoption of Agile.

Challenge

The challenge was to find a framework that would help them scale Agile practices across a large global change portfolio. The Agile adoption approach focused on organization and culture change, supporting Agile teams directly.

Solution

The company focused on the culture shift required to support Agile by creating Culture Leaders. They aligned funding and governance approval with Agile ways of working, enabling teams to make progress quickly and benefit from Agile delivery.

Telecommunications

The company had initiated plans to bring a new TV offering to the market, to go beyond the basic product currently available. They intended to add features that newly available technology would make possible. Adding urgency, the company’s largest competitor had reportedly already begun work on a similar product.

The company ran a waterfall, multi-project environment that was transitioning into a home-grown, scaled Scrum approach. The Engineering group now sought to scale Agile in earnest, leading it to the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe).

Challenge

The company had to move quickly to bring a new TV product to market since a competitor had already begun a similar effort. They tried to come up with many approaches to scale Agile on their own but were not successful.

Solution

The company reduced end-to-end test team size from dozens to just three, while maintaining quality and deploying those individuals to other value-producing functions. The Program Increment with SAFe led to new alignment and momentum.

Banking

Although the IT team implements upwards of 450 projects every year to help the bank move fast and stay ahead, yet traditionally, teams have completed only a small percentage of projects within the defined timeframe, budget, and scope.

To improve the success rate, the Bank tried a few Lean-Agile pilots. However, their efforts faced headwinds when they attempted to expand beyond a few teams working in isolation. They had tried waterfall, a combined team approach, and other frameworks, but nothing addressed the challenge of delivering value across organizational silos.

Challenge

The bank sought to improve service quality, efficiency, and employee morale, but previous efforts to scale Lean-Agile beyond a few teams had stalled.

Solution

The Bank moved from individual recognition to team awards and KPIs, which increased excitement and engagement through gamification, skills building, and automation. The Bank started the transition with IT and engaged business owners early. SAFe, coupled with a focus on engineering, took the Bank to the next level.

Achieve business agility. At scale.
