SAFe vs DAD Montreal Scaled Agile Framework Meetup
September 13th 2016
2. What is DAD?
Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD)
is a set of strategies that support
the full spectrum of delivery
approaches, from waterfall to
iterative, agile, and lean.
It draws upon the full range of
methodologies and practices that
have evolved over the past 40
years.

3. What is SAFe?
The Scaled Agile
Framework® (SAFe®) is a
freely revealed knowledge
base of proven, integrated
patterns for enterprise-scale
Lean-Agile development. It is
scalable and modular,
allowing each organization to
apply it in a way that provides
better business outcomes and
happier, more engaged
employees.

13. "We are often asked about the relationship between DAD and the
Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). SAFe is an instance of a set of
process decisions made for a specific approach to scaling. SAFe is
prescriptive in many ways.
For example it requires the use of multiple teams working in parallel as
release trains with common cadences with regard to when their
iterations start and end. It can in practice be quite difficult for a group of
teams to be able to reliably deliver a given set of features on a common
date.
DAD suggests that the use of common cadences is a process choice,
but does not prescribe it as the only reasonable strategy. And while
multiple teams working in parallel may make sense, we have seen
other patterns such as one large team, or a medium sized core team
with several sub-teams work successfully."

14. "Though (DAD) flexibility may be appreciated by those with a good
understanding of agile, it might not provide enough guidance for those
who are transitioning from traditional models. Marketplace adoption for
DAD is slow compared with SAFe. And though DAD and SAFe are
more complementary than competitive, due to the lack of specific
guidance, experienced coaches and consultants are more likely
needed to successfully implement DAD."

Enterprise Agility challenges
n How to keep team agility in a large
structure?
n Which enterprise agility framework
should we adopt?
n How to change the development
process and framework while
respecting organizational culture?
Scrum relies on self-commitment, self-organization, and
emergence rather than authoritarian measures.
—Ken Schwaber
23. #SAFeDT
Put brutally SAFe seemed to be PRINCE II
camouflaged in Agile language. SCRUM as an
approach was emasculated in a small box to the
bottom right of a hugely overcomplicated linear
model. (…) SAFe is not only a betrayal of the
promise offered by AGILE but is a massive
retrograde step giving the managerial class an
excuse to avoid any significant change.
[A Body of knowledge] is an highly static non-
adaptive approach.
Dave Snowden (Cynefin)

SAFe
I saw a Release Planning session with 20some
teams and almost 200 people, and realized how
SAFe is Scrum, just expanded to the program
level. I became aware that Scrum itself scales
beautifully.
Lyssa Adkins (Coaching Agile Teams)
SAFe gives us some good ideas for how to deal
with [enterprise] complexities where few existed
before. I am using some elements of SAFe with a
client right now but not all since some of the
techniques would not work well, which is consistent
with a “pragmatic agile” approach.
Mark Lines (DAD)
The boys from RUP (Rational Unified Process) are
back. Building on the profound failure of RUP, they are
now pushing the Scaled Agile Framework (e) as a simple,
one-size fits all approach to the agile organization.
Ken Schwaber (Scrum)
