While the idea of an IT department feels quite modern, the actual idea is pretty old. In the 60s and 70s, these systems were big and complex. Fast-forward 30 years and things are different.
We still talk about “business” and “IT” but that’s no longer really the case. Everything you do in your business relies on IT to happen. IT no longer supports your business. IT is your business.
Leadership had to take the wheel immediately. Working with SAFe Program Consultants (SPCs), a pragmatic curriculum of agile classes were implemented. Over the course of a fiscal quarter, everyone could have productive conversations, plan together and prioritise accordingly to the needs of the enterprise goals and market opportunities. One Product Owner even used her budget to fly dev team members into the PI Planning from across the continent!
Prior to 2020, our business model relied on face-to-face interaction to help align and excite organisations about agility and creating a learning organisation. When COVID hit, the world as we knew it changed in an instant. Like so many others it didn’t take long to see that our business model was no longer sustainable, and our digital strategy had to be accelerated.

We would like to congratulate James Halprin, our Principal Consultant and SAFe Practice Manager, on achieving his SAFe Program Consultant Trainer (SPCT) certification, which is the most advanced certification you can achieve within the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe).
The shift to remote team management can help leaders demonstrate their agility. By remotely aligning their teams and embracing autonomy, agile leaders are able to keep their team on track.
