What we will cover today
• An introduction to some of the SAFe® Portfolio
concepts
• An example of how you can setup JIRA Agile to support the SAFe® levels (Portfolio, Program, Team)
• Note: There are multiple ways this can be done, we are
showing one example, but we have a number of other
solutions which we’ve implemented for Clients
• We will spend most of our time in Portfolio & Program
levels
• Given the high-attendance, we have made some basic assumptions that folks are familiar with the basics of SAFe® and JIRA, but we will briefly review those
A Few Logistics
• Large-group, limited interaction and primarily one-way• Other online training, tailored demo’s, and public or private
training options are more personalized and interactive if you want those
• Questions can be addressed to me (Presenter) or our Moderator
• Will try to address themes and patterns of questions where appropriate
• Other feedback collected will be used for future blog posts, updates or input for future iterations of this presentation
• Given the high-attendance, we may not get to your question during the webinar
• We will do our best to answer those questions after the webinar
SAFeTM – The Big Picture
Two Types of SAFe Epics
Business Epics:• Large chunks of scope• Customer-facing initiatives• Realize business benefits• Maintained in the Portfolio Backlog
Architectural Epics:• Large chunks of scope• Technology initiatives• Realize technological change
– performance and scalability– infrastructure obsolescence– integration
• Maintained in the Portfolio Backlog
Business Epic Workflow
Decision Points: • Validation of epic with a lightweight business case• Research & Analysis• Decision to go/no-go
Process:• Kanban
Business Epic Workflow
Funnel: • Identification of Business Epics takes place• Ideas are captured / discussed• No cost or value is assigned• Epics stated in any format
– “Single sign on across all products”
Backlog:• Queue of work that warrants further exploration• WIP Limits pace resources• Epic Owner is assigned to carry the scope through the
system– rough sizing of effort – estimated potential / value
Business Epic Workflow
Analysis: • Research & Analysis prior to implementation• Effort & Economic Impact are further defined
– WSJF Prioritization– Decision Matrix
• Lightweight Business Case Developed– Decision to go/no-go
Implementation:• Business Epic has been approved • Awaits space to schedule to a release train• Epic can be further broken down to decentralize
– Split epics
Let’s Visualize the (BE) Workflow

Epic Implementation Granted
Allocate Epic to Release Train: • Epic passes analysis queue• Ownership transferred to Program Level
– Decentralized planning– Epic decomposed into features
• Program backlog queue of features– WIP limits dictate capacity of the teams
Agile Release Trains
Program Team: • 50-125 people
– Teams of Agile teams
• Dedicated to consistent development flow– Value / Investment theme focus– Release in sync on a fixed cadence
PSI’s: • ~8-12 week increments• Ongoing Frequency & Sequencing
– Define– Build– Test– Deliver
• Scope is variable
Investment Themes
A more holistic view:• Visualize your strategic intent
– Portfolio backlog of initiatives
• Investment themes are a capacity allocation – Budgeting– Resource Planning
