As the future PIs commence, the agenda of this week gets tweaked since the ART teams have already gained the experience and they are accommodated with the new ways of working. Then the focus is more on continuous refinement to make it more purposeful to generate impact.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Coaching ART execution<\/strong> is a very critical part.

So far we have covered the step by step of SAFe transformation for an organization as guided by Scaled Agile Transformation. It was so far about <strong>Essential SAFe implementation<\/strong> and now let\u2019s explore the other versions of SAFe. Most of the agile consulting on SAFe happened at this level but the organizations who are aspiring for the business agility go-beyond like portfolio, large-solution and finally to full SAFe.

This may help us in visualizing the waste time and also look at the priorities<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Flow Load<\/strong> &#8211; is the amount of work in process. If you have most of the work in process within any PI then that means that you are running it in a waterfall way not agile. This should be limited so as to ensure that we are pulling the right amount of work, sizing them just-enough and continuously delivering it<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Flow efficiency<\/strong> &#8211; out of the total time a work has taken to finish, how much was actually the active time? It will help in identifying all the reasons which caused the work to stop and there could be reasons like handover time, approvals, outdated technology, unavailability of resources etc<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Flow predictability<\/strong> &#8211; it is about the actual business value delivered against the plan. The planning happened during the PI planning event and we continuously observe the delivered value throughout the PI and then at the end of the PI, we compare and plot it. Across the PIs we observe the trend which may help us into identifying the patterns which might be letting us know about upcoming PIs and possibly pivot or persevere our decisions.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The above accelerators must be applied at all levels and continuously improving the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kanban_(development)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kanban_(development)\">Kan<\/a>ban system will keep us knowing the opportunities of improvement.
