Yesterday, Barry Paquet and Martin Rajotte showed a great presentation that demonstrated how to apply the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) with Team Foundation Server at an Enterprise level. Starting with an introduction with SAFe principles and Agile planning, they showed how to customize Team Foundation Server to align the organization and Application Lifecycle Management across Portfolio, Program and Teams.
Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server is the best solution to support SAFe for the following reasons:
- Visibility: enable full backlog management at all levels
- Scalability: Can support as many team and program as required.
- Flexibility: Can be configure according to your specifics at all levels
- Traceability and full end-to-end ALM platform: Full traceability and scenarios supported from investment themes up to the production.
