This has been following me around recently, I can't seem to get away from it.

SAFe is everything that has ever been wrong with the software industry rolled into one terrible thing that is anything but agile.

I can't fully express here quite what I think of it!

I still remember when a PM distributed this diagram as recipe for ultimate happiness. I only could think "are you kidding?". when you look at details nothing makes sense or it's just a bunch of words that sound and look good.

Tech guys like to do the same. One director once showed the "architecture" of the next big thing in our department. It was a bunch off boxes with "authentication", "JSON", "distributed", "NOSQL", "JSON", "Roles", "reliability" and twenty other buzzwords. He asked for estimates how long it would take. after asking what this means and what it's supposed to do I was out of the planning. Two years later there are still two guys developing it but nobody knows what it does.

Message aside, that is a terribly organized diagram. It looks like someone dumped all the things they wanted in it on the screen, moved them around just enough that they weren't overlapping, then simply... stopped, having done no actual organization.

Anywhere that does SAFe is somewhere to avoid.

The other issue that agile conferences don't have developers anymore.
