Many major corporations are embarking on SAFe transformations and having SAFe certifications can get a person an edge in today’s job market, however, as often as you hear it praised you’ll also hear people say “it’s too heavy” or “it’s waterfall in disguise”. In this interactive discussion we’ll unpack the history of SAFe and learn how it works and what problems it’s best suited to solve, as well as, where it should be avoided.
