Mark Richards

In this second cast we tackle the often thorny subject of metrics. This power-packed cast offers tons of advice on what to measure, how and what else to look for.

Next week, we’re taking a wee break for summer vacation – expect us back soon!

We get a two-for with Mr. Mark Richards, a highly experienced Lean Agile Coach, Certified Safe Practitioner Trainer an all-round knowledgeable guy on how to do agile at scale.

In the first cast, Mark has some really interesting insights and advice on how to implement SAFe with large SAP-like financial systems which at first glance don’t look suitable for the methodology but think again!

Simon Wardley

The second in our series is a sit down with Mr. Simon Wardley from the Leading Edge Institute.

Simon is no stranger to the agile world but is relatively new to SAFe. Simon was specifically invited to the retreat for a special purpose, all of which is revealed in the cast.

As a keen observer of IT industry trends and also an influential trend setter, Simon has some really insightful advice on the role of SAFe in the enterprise and where it might grow.

Dean Leffingwell

To kick things off, our first interview is with the founder of Scaled Agile Inc. and foremost thought leader in the development and implementation of SAFe.

With SAFe 4.5 about to be released at the time of the interview we thought it would be good idea to get a preview and explore some of the key differences from the previous version. This interview also gives some great insight into how HR can go agile and what the future of SAFe looks like.
