@LeanExplorer
Implementing SAFe with Kanban is a journey of Dream to Delight.
Dream to Delight is the concept to cash value stream practiced with
proven success across 5 industries: Utilities, Media, Banking, Insurance
and Mortgage. It is a set of 7 Highly Effective Ds: Dream, Discover,
Design, Develop, Deliver, Deploy & Delight.
This is not a presentation on
benefits of Kanban Method or
the SAFe Framework
This assumes we the participants know the Kanban Method & the SAFe Framework
This presents how the Kanban Method & the SAFe Framework
complement each other in leading enterprise to agility and
prosperity
@LeanExplorer
3 reasons why these are
The 7 Highly Effective Ds of
Feed -> Act -> Inspect -> Learn
cycle
#1 7Ds Ensure the work isn’t initiated until there is agreement to
delight the end consumer
#2 7Ds Enable people responsible to deliver to maintain focus
when overwhelmed with conflicting priorities
#3 7Ds Enforce people responsible for solution support to have an
influence through the product life cycle not just build & delivery
Lets Set the
Context

leadership at all

Program Epic Kanban
Some initiatives are too big to be completed in a single Program Increment. These are Program Epics, identified and managed in a separate Kanban system, Program Epic Kanban.
The goal is to analyze and approve program epics, splitting them into features that will be further explored and implemented in the Program Kanban. This Kanban system is used depending on how frequently program epics occur in the local context of the ART,

Solution Kanban & Solution Epic Kanban
For Large Solutions, the
Solution Kanban follows
the Program Kanban
pattern. It operates with
Capabilities instead of
Features, and is
managed by Solution
Management and
Solution Architects.
@LeanExplorer
Portfolio Kanban
The Portfolio Kanban
enables visualization,
analysis, management and
decision making for the
prioritization and flow of
portfolio epics from Dream
to Delight for Portfolio SAFe
and Full SAFe
configurations.
@LeanExplorer
Portfolio Kanban
It makes the largest business initiatives visible.
The system brings structure to analysis and decision-
making.
Work in Process (WIP) limits ensure that the teams analyze
epics responsibly.
It prevents unrealistic expectations.
Kanban System drives collaboration among the key
stakeholders.
They provide a transparent and quantitative basis for
economic decision-making.

@LeanExplorer
What are Conditions of Success for the “New Tips”?
✓ Align organizational initiatives to strategic themes through vision statements progressively elaborated to address customer needs or pains
✓ Apply explicit objective prioritization across work (width & depth) portfolio avoiding constant churn (stop | start syndrome)
✓ Minimize interruptions in flow due to late discoveries of risk, issues, impediments of people, process, tools, dependencies, resource and more
✓ Implement small F A I L cycles to enable active collaboration sessions and fast feedback loops
