We talk about “Respect for People” in SAFe. What does it mean to have respect for people when implementing SAFe in the enterprise? The Invitations/Pull-based approach acknowledges our humaneness and tweaks the SAFe Implementation Roadmap in a way that involves leaders and teams in figuring out when/how to implement SAFe in their context – empowering and decentralizing as many implementation decisions as it makes sense. In this session we will explore why this approach is needed and how to use it – introducing the SAFe invitations guidance article as well as examples from the trenches in organizations such as Siemens and Amdocs.
