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. View the slides deck from our presentation and [contact us ](https://blogs.incyclesoftware.com/2013/11/scaling-agile-enterprise-level-safe-tfs/info@incyclesoftware.com)for more information about scaling Agile with SAFe using TFS. InCycle is a Microsoft Gold ALM partner and a [SAFe Bronze partner ](https://blogs.incyclesoftware.com/?page_id=4950&news=incycle-software-becomes-scaled-agile-framework-safe-certified-partner)that provides Agile and Application Lifecycle Management training and consulting services.
