Our colleague and SPC, Mark Richards from Australia has just concluded his case study of SAFe adoption at a large IT shop down under, now with Part 5: Conclusion. (for more on this and other case studies, check out Case Studies on SAFe).
In Part 5, Mark summarizes some key findings, and most importantly publishes some quantitative results. After all, in the end, that’s all we really care about. In order not to keep you in suspense, here’s the high level summary of business benefits:
- Average delivery cycle time down from 12 months to 3 months
- Frequency of delivery increased from quarterly to fortnightly
- Cost to deliver down 50%
- 100% of projects delivered on time and on budget
- Happy project sponsors (NPS 29)
- Happy teams (Team NPS 43)
Wow! And those are great Net Promoter scores.
Yeah, implementing SAFe is hard, but it’s always good to be reminded of why we do it. Thanks Mark!
