SAFe Construction Planning Workshop

Monday 2 Oct 2017, 09:00 → 17:00 UTC

Steve Rawlings room (SKA Organisation)

It has now been agreed to adopt the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe^®) for SKA Software Construction. This is a one day workshop for the construction consortia facilitated by a leading SAFe^® consultant to help form a common vision as how elements of SAFe^® should be incorporated into the SKA element construction proposals. Note that this will not be a general SAFe course for developers, it will just focus on helping us understand how SAFe may impact the construction proposals.

The workshop will be lead by Ian Spence of Ivar Jacobson International. A short biography of Ian can be found here.

The workshop is open to remote attendees. Please see the the box below for more information.
