SAFE Essentials is a subset of the agile SAFe Framework (Scaled Agile Framework).
SAFe is a framework for agile software development and product management designed for large organizations and enterprises. It combines practices from agile software development with lean methods and offers a structured approach for scaling agile methods at company level.
It comprises a series of roles, processes and practices aimed at improving collaboration and communication between the various teams and departments to enable faster and more efficient product management. Key practices include Agile Release Trains (ARTs), Continuous Delivery Pipelines and DevOps culture.
The framework consists of three levels: the team level, the program level and the portfolio level. Each level has specific roles and responsibilities aimed at improving collaboration and common understanding.
SAFe is widely used today and is used by many companies as a framework for their agile development methods. However, it is not suitable for all companies and requires careful adaptation to individual requirements and objectives.
