What is Scaled Agile Framework?

SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) is a framework that enables agile software development in a classic corporate context. It is designed not so much as a single methodology, but as a broad knowledge base of proven best practices that real teams have used to deliver successful software products.

SAFe is a complex model for aligning and integrating agile development across several teams. It combines approaches from the agile methods Scrum, Kanban as well as the principles of Lean Product Development, enabling agility to be applied in the enterprise environment and on a large scale. SAFe considers the 3 levels team, program and portfolio.
