My take on a SAFe value statement… For Early/late majority software/IT/technology-heavy enterprises

who Develop and maintain LARGE COMPLEX products or services

the Scaled Agile Framework

is a Collection of lean/agile process and implementation best practices

that Helps these enterprises improve their business agility despite huge change management and technology/process obstacles in their context

Unlike Other scaling frameworks that assume the ability and willingness to drive revolutionary dramatic change in the organization and mostly ignore current culture and roles in the organization

our solution Is able to provide a reasonable evolutionary starting point to the business agility journey flexible enough to allow organizations to evolve towards a truly lean/agile enterprise. It provides people currently holding roles in the organization a clear mapping to their new role in the agile enterprise and a path to making this change.
