The transformation of an organization towards full business agility requires the change leadership acumen to create persistent people practices and the mindset needed to support the change. And, of course, the culture must evolve as well. They must identify their Portfolio(s), Value Streams, and Agile Release Trains (ARTs), implement their Lean-Agile Portfolio(s), build quality in, and establish the mechanisms for continuous flow of value delivery and DevOps. Before realizing SAFe’s rewards, organizations must embrace a Lean-Agile Mindset and understand and apply Lean-Agile principles.
