Abstract: Within a university setting, as well as in most startups, a project is typically small enough to be managed by a single team. However, as products become more complex, this approach quickly reaches its limits. What happens then? In this presentation, we will explore one of the most widely adopted scaling frameworks: SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework). We will take a high-level look at its adoption and satisfaction success, as well as the criticism and effectiveness associated with applying Agile software development at scale. Although this presentation is grounded in the theoretical foundations of SAFe, its primary focus is on practical insights and personal experience. We believe that understanding how these frameworks are applied in real-world environments is just as important as understanding the theory behind them.
