Delaying planning activities, such as PI Planning, will negatively impact the ability of businesses to recover and maintain their competitive positioning.Ĭompanies must be realistic. Moving forward with virtual planning events is vitally important because companies prepared for the steep recovery will be best positioned to lead markets long into the future. Practitioners who embrace the “show must go on” mentality are creating new rhythms and skills to enable teams to test, adapt and operationalize Remote SAFe.
Companies that amplify the creativity and skills of their teams and leaders will survive and ultimately thrive. This shift presents unprecedented pressure to create and iterate on successful strategies. Normal in-person planning events are quickly migrating to fully virtual interactions for the foreseeable future. The response to COVID-19 is forcing organizations using the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) to change rapidly.
