Process for SW DevelopmentAnother process can be defined

SAFe – Scaled Agile FrameworkFor the whole Company

“Agility comes in different forms,

but basically it’s the ability to

quickly adapt to or even anticipate

and lead change. Agility in the

broadest form affects strategic

thinking, operations, technology

innovation and the ability to

innovate in products, processes

and business models.”
