SAFe vs. Regular Scrum

Xebia Academy proudly presents a heavyweight debate! In this epic agile showdown, it’s SAFe versus regular Scrum; only one can take the title home… 

Introduction

In the world of scaling Agile, SAFe sits securely on its throne. It’s the most used scaling framework worldwide and offers an extensive framework often used in large organizations.

Yet, not everyone is a fan of SAFe. Why is that? What’s wrong with SAFe? Or, what’s so great about SAFe? And, are there any other viable options available in the market?

In this webinar, you will witness the battle between SAFe and regular Scrum. Step into the ring as Laurens Bonnema and Sjoerd Nijland go glove-to-glove in an epic showdown to prove who’s right.

Round after round, they’ll tackle the heavy hitters: the enigma of Software Factories, the strategy behind Normalized Story Points, and the commitment it takes to win with individual Stories. They’ll also dive into the heart of the fight, questioning the Product Owner’s real power, the speed and agility of a 6-month MVP, and whether emergent design can withstand the heavyweight pressures of scale.

This is more than just a debate; it’s a battle for maximum awesome, a clash of two titans of thought you won’t want to miss. So, grab your seat ringside for an unforgettable webinar of intellectual sparring and Agile mastery, brought to you by Xebia Academy.
