value stream map experiment
Experiment: value stream map
Problem: Companies invest in agile and other accelerators, but they don't really know where their bottlenecks are or how they change. Accelerating a non bottleneck step will actually make the flow of value worse.
Hypothesis: Visualizing the flow of value will expose the real bottlenecks, lead us to high impact improvement experiments, and avoid investing in non bottleneck improvement initiatives.
Time Frame: 8 hours, ask pivot or persevere after two hours
Typical Outcomes: Increase increase flow KPIs, increase quality of the relentless improvement backlog
Skill Growth Criteria: You have mapped a value stream in the context of a business goal, identified bottlenecks, crafted improvement experiments, executed the experiments and used product and flow KPIs to measure the impact of those experiments.

Portfolio Kanban Experiment
zhlédnutí 97Před měsícem
Experiment: portfolio kanban Problem: We invest too much money in large initiatives that then fail to deliver value in excess of their cost Hypothesis: By creating well formed epics, we will be able to reduce the risks of large investments by flowing continous value to create an mvp Time Frame: 9 months, ask pivot or persevere every three months Typical Outcomes: decrease spend before pivoting ...
epic estimation experiment
zhlédnutí 52Před měsícem
Experiment: epic/initiative estimation Problem: We need to be able to estimate large initiatives quickly and accurately even when there are a lot of unknowns Hypothesis: We can use relative estimation to get a very fast yet accurate initial estimate, then refine that estimate incrementally using both roll up estimation and early actuals. Time Frame: 9 months, ask pivot or persevere every three ...
Epic Writing Experiment
zhlédnutí 57Před měsícem
Experiment: epic/initiative writing Problem: We adopted SAFe but our Epics often have no descriptions or have multi page descriptions. Hypothesis: By writing epics using the lightweight style recommended by SAFe, all epics will have descriptions and more people will read those descriptions increasing solution quality. Time Frame: 3 months, ask pivot or persevere after one month Typical Outcomes...
If your goal is agile you've already failed!
zhlédnutí 79Před měsícem
Organizations have been using agile for agile's sake, adopting it because that is what everyone else is doing. Instead, they need to adopt agile as a strategy to achieve their most challenging business goals.
Why I'm Not Afraid of AI
zhlédnutí 35Před měsícem
Many friends and peers have expressed surprise that I am not afraid of what AI means for our future. After explaining my thoughts, a few had said I should make a video with my thoughts. So here it is! Enjoy! :)
Strategy Generation and Execution Experiment
zhlédnutí 48Před 2 měsíci
Experiment: strategy generation and execution Problem: Our tactics and strategies may be disconnected from our business goals, or we don’t have a good process for generating a collectively owned strategy, or we execute our strategies too slowly. Hypothesis: Having a framework for strategic thinking will improve our goals and strategies, and ensure our tactics are tied to business value and ensu...
Defect Prevention Experiment
zhlédnutí 76Před 5 měsíci
Experiment: defect prevention Problem: When we test our code, it is always a small subset of all of the possible paths. Therefore for every bug test finds, there is a corresponding number of bugs we never find! If we test 10% of our paths and find 10 defects, we can assume that the other 90% of the paths we didn't test contains 90 defects! This means they could be found in production! Hypothesi...
Sprint Retrospective Experiment
zhlédnutí 70Před 6 měsíci
Experiment: Sprint Retrospective Problem: High performing teams know that our team is not perfect. Therefore our team could always use improvement. Things don't always go well, and that is an opportunity to get stronger as a team! Hypothesis: If we take time every sprint to hear each other in a safe space, we will find lots of opportunities to improve as a team. Time Frame: 6 weeks, ask pivot o...
Product Modeling Experiment
zhlédnutí 60Před 7 měsíci
Experiment: product modeling (solution intent) Problem: We are told not to put details into user stories, but we need details to build the system! How do we stay agile with our stories yet communicate our details? Hypothesis: A product model or the SAFe solution intent can be built that shows the current state of our solution, plus what we are building next as well, allowing us to write stories...
end of iteration metrics
zhlédnutí 81Před 7 měsíci
Experiment: end of iteration metrics Problem: A team can run lots of VDA experiments, but may not know if they are working, which to continue and which to abandon. Hypothesis: If teams commit to a set of metrics, they can validate the results of their VDA experiments Time Frame: 3 months, pivot or persevere after 3 sprints Typical Outcomes: increase team KPIs Skill Growth Criteria: You have sel...
Sprint Review Experiment
zhlédnutí 43Před 8 měsíci
Experiment: sprint review Problem: We frequently deliver solutions that do not meet the needs of our customers and users. Also, when we fail to show progress, people assume none is being made and assume the worst. Hypothesis: If we demo our progress on cadence, we increase the odds of building the right thing, can pivot early, and can build trust that progress is being made. We also get buy in ...
Biggest Failure Award - Agile Fail Fast Philosophy
zhlédnutí 98Před 8 měsíci
You probably have heard agilists say "fail fast" but this can be easier said than done. Does your culture allow you to fail fast? Does it provide psychological safety? Did you rebrand Fail Fast to Learn Fast instead? How do you change your culture? How about with a biggest failure award! Bad idea? Watch the video and let me know!
Rewarding Metrics is Lazy Management
zhlédnutí 198Před 9 měsíci
This one is a little longer, but I hope worth every minute! Most people know that punishing metrics is bad, but rewarding them is just as harmful. Check out this video to understand why, and what to do instead!

Very insightful. I love the approach man. Thanks a lot
Very clear and concise! Thank you.
Thanks for watching! And for leaving me a comment! :)
SAFe is shit
Great way to unravel the caos!
Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful! :)
Hi, I am new SM, could I icheck please, this cards is the potential improvements? so in retrospective some suggested this and we are trying it? am I understanding correctly?
I'm not sure I'm following your question. This video is about using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to understand the health of your products. We do like looking at the KPIs during a retrospective to brainstorm on how to improve our products even more.
Excellent! Thank you so much, you are very very good coach! and a lovely person!
Wow, thank you, Alexandra! You are very kind!!
Exellent breakdown and brought a lot of the course I've completed together before portfolio exam\! Thx
Great to hear! Good luck on the exam!!
Anthony, this is the first time I’ve listened to you in a lecture since I was a new hire a Motorola. Your delivery and knowledge still continues to amaze me. I’m so glad to find this site as you put words to my test & engineering philosophy. Thanks!
You are way too kind TJ. Thank you for the comment Andy checking out my videos!
No: 1 & Best explanation sir❤
Thank you manoj! I appreciate your commenting!
Very good overview, thank you !!
Thank you bart, and thank you for taking the time to show your appreciation!!
Wao!! Gold standard explanation!
Thank you so much 😀! You are kind to leave a comment and let me know!
Crystal clear overview of the configurations. Thanks for creating & sharing.
I'm glad you found it helpful brentvandewrjdeven5746! You may want to check out my newer ones: "Intro to the SAFe Big Picture 6.0" or "What changed from safe 5.1 to 6.0 in the Big Picture? - step by step"
Great insights sir! Thank you putting a great and extremely practical walkthrough of this issue.
So glad you like it @MatiasNino! I was really excited to create this one. Next step is to get leaders to act on it!
I think SAFe is a needless over-complication of fundamental Agile devised for the express purpose of making money for its copyright owners. That said, I needed to know the terminology for job interviews and you have done a brilliant job with summarizing it - kudos and thanks! Very helpful indeed.
@Soulshine77: LOL! Glad it helped you with your interview!! A lot of people agree with you. I actually love the model and consider myself an extreme agilist (check out my rewarding metrics is lazy management video for an example). I would love to chat about it sometime! :) Maybe even make it a video too?
it's great thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching it! I was really excited to make this one. First time I overlaid one safe big picture over the previous! It was fun to do!
Thanks alot for creating this informative video.
I'm so glad you liked it! It was an experiment to see if the overlay approach of one model over the other would help. :)
Good stuff Anthony, I like the idea of Agile on a Global level.
Thank you! The stories I've been hearing at this scale are really inspiring!
One of the best videos with very lucid explanation of SAFe framework. Thank you very much!!!
Glad it was helpful! And thank you for the kind comment! Two new videos coming in the next two weeks! :)
also categorizing various values
Awesome!
that matching charts is really helpful
That's great to hear! Thanks for letting me know! :)
this is probably the best explaining video i've ever seen regarding SAFe. Well done and thank you! (Instant subscription). Taking the topic "dual operating system", that's the first time I understood the concept :) Thanks again!
Wow, thank you!! And thank you for subscribing. I plan to get back to one video a week from now on!
Completed
Nice!
Thank you for your amazing presentation. I loved the way you presented this
Glad you enjoyed it! More to come!
Excellent detailed summary, never thought 24 minutes would fly by so quickly!
That is awesome to hear! Thank you! Time flies when you are having fun? :)
Thank you very much for the introduction. It is compact, most essential while learning and leaning towards becoming SAFe Agilist!. Amazing overview of the big picture and zooming down. This really helps.
Thank you for dropping a note of praise! It means a lot!
You made it so simple, now i'm not afraid of this diagram anymore :)
Yes! That was the goal! I was totally overwhelmed the first time I saw it and it took a while to cure that! If I can accelerate that for others, yay!
Hi Anthony, I am about to give a presentation on an introduction of SAFe, I struggled with this graphic for a while but I get a hang of it because of your vdo. Thank you so much for providing really informative content here.
Glad it helped! Good luck on your session! I'm sure you will rock it!
Thank you for the introduction... it's an amazing overview and good introduction to help us to better understand the different parts.
So glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this wonderful presentation, Anthony!!
My pleasure!
This was excellent. Thank you.
Thank you for saying so Mark!
This is so helpful. Thank you so much.
So glad you found it helpful! Thank you Kiran!
Thank you so much for great explaination about how to understand the SAFe framework for the beginners, It was very much appreciated and great thank you Anthony with out which it was not easy for me to get this much of knowledge in one video , very clear explanation of how each icon and over all this Picture could be interpreted.
So glad it was helpful Dragon!
This is how you explain concept, Thank you great work. Your passion for teaching is awesome ❤
Hi Pawan! Thank you! You are awesome for saying so! I do love teaching! :)
perfect! thanks
Thank you!!
This video cleared my concepts and helped me easily get 98% score in SAFe POPM exam
Wow!! A 98%! That's amazing Smit!!
EXCELLENT overview!
Thank you Crystene!!
Great and useful information on your videos. Thanks so much. Just as a suggestion. You talk about other videos and/or recommend taking a look to other videos. It'll be helpful if you could share the link in the description so it can be found easily.
Thanks for the suggestion, Jose! I am hoping people subscribe to my channel and check out my library. There are multiple libraries to make it easier to find what you most need. Also, I have an app, currently for the iPhone, soon for Android that leverages all of these videos. Ultimately I want people to use the app to find content. The youtube channel will not be my primary vehicle for now.
Great and informative video, thank you! It gave me a solid understanding for my job interview. A small proposal for improvement - use the "laser pointer" functionality in powerpoint, so your mouse turns into a red point which is so much easier to follow than the white pointer. :)
Hi Ssandde! I will see if I can find the laser pointer functionality in powerpoint! I have been looking for better solutions so thank you!!
Awesome video. This video made everything crystal clear.
Thank you Arvind!! I'm glad it helped you!
This is very helpful, to the point and informative. I am happy that I reached your page. Thank you
Thank you for saying so Rashmi! Very kind!
Anthony - thank you for putting the whole concept of SAFe in such a succinct manner. Very well laid out and explained. Thanks again.
Thank you for the kind words Manoj!
Great introduction
Thank you Nodes of Travel!
Gosh, this was so informative. Completes the missing pieces of the certification puzzle! Well done! Thank you!
Thank you Hillary!! You are kind to share your thoughts!
Probably the best SAFe overview i have seen. Thank you for making it so simple to understand. Lot of respect for your teaching style.
Wow, thank you! Your compliment on my style means a lot to me!
Hi Anthony, great video! Is there a study plan for the SA exam which breaks down the topics by days (day 1, day 2, ..). There is a lot of information to cover for the SA exam and it would definitely help to have a study plan that gives learners a roadmap to successfully prepare for the exam. Thanks again for the video!
Hi George! SAI provides a study guide and a practice exam in your portal! I recommend taking the practice right away. The exam doesn't tell you the correct answer for the ones you get wrong, but it does tell you what sections to study to find the answer. Very cool! And you can take the practice as many times as you wish. Note, most people drop about 8 points from the practice exam vs the real one. If your score is in the 90s on the first try on the practice exam, you are likely to pass the real one.
Top class presentation. Really appreciate your work!!
Thanks a lot! Top class!! You are very kind!
Wow, this is so good. I am preparing my first Leading SAFe course as a trainer and I was asking myself how to show the audience the overview without losing their emotional acceptance for the topic. This is so helpful. Thanks for the great video!
My pleasure TheMaxxxpower666! Good luck on your class! I'm sure you will do GREAT! Remember, you don't have to know everything, you just have to know more than your audience and share your understanding! And if you don't know, ask them what they think. There are often amazing gems in the wisdom of the crowd!
This is so great. You do an excellent job of putting the pieces together. Thank you!
You are so welcome A Fleming! Thanks for dropping me a note!
Great!
Thanks!!
Loved loved loved the simple way how Anthony broke down the complex big picture of Safe. This knowledge that I gained in half hour, I didnt get during my 4 day session. I am so greatful to come across this video of Anthony Crain..:)
Thank you Ravinder! That's a big compliment! Are you studying to be an SPC?
