Our Process

4 Steps That Guide Our Success with SAFe

Step 1: Goal Setting

The strategy group develops and organizes company-wide goals. These strategic goals generally cover a period of 3 to 5 years. Strategic objectives are prepared in the form of OKRs (Objectives and Key Results), and documentation takes place in Confluence so that everyone in the company can access them.

Step 2: PI Planning

Each quarter, we have a PI planning session, which the entire company is welcomed to join. Each of the company goals are shared, and teams break down work into epics and features order to accomplish them. This way, individual tasks always ultimately roll up into epics that satisfy company-wide goals set by our strategy circle team.

Step 3: Committing Features

We use Jira to track the strategy epics and actual features being committed. A designated owner is assigned to each epic and feature, usually the lead of the team that will be executing on the task. After work is planned and committed, it’s up to each team to complete the work they’ve set out for themselves.

Step 4: Retrospective

If any features were not able to be completed before the next PI planning session, teams note and plan for including remaining work in the next sprint. We also make time for sharing feedback, and encourage teams to commit to manageable, realistic workloads.
