The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is an organizational framework for coordinating agile product development across multiple teams and levels.
Dean Leffingwell and Drew Jemilo published SAFe as a documented scaling framework from 2011 onward. It combines ideas from Scrum, Extreme Programming, Lean, and product development into a shared operating model.
Multiple teams work to a shared cadence on a product increment. Backlogs, roles, planning, and feedback connect team, program, and portfolio levels so local work contributes to common goals.
Teams align their work with shared product and business goals.
Regular planning and delivery cycles synchronize dependencies.
Investment and strategic themes connect to delivery.
SAFe gives large organizations shared terms and cadences; its value depends on fit with the product, autonomy, and context.
