Flexible support for agile frameworks
All proven frameworks can be implemented and extended with Jira Align. But which agile framework is the right one for your company? Here is a brief overview:
- SAFe – Scaled Agile Framework is the most widely used framework and has already helped many global players achieve agile success. It includes four tier levels, and it’s tailored to the complexity and size of your organization. It starts with Essential SAFe, with the basic building blocks, followed by Large Solution SAFe and Portfolio SAFe for larger solutions, all the way to Full SAFe as the most comprehensive version of the framework.
- LeSS (Large Scale Scrum) – Less is more! As the name suggests, this is the principle of LeSS, which is all about minimalist scaling. LeSS applies Scrum to large-scale development with only a few defined rules and roles to make your company structure as lean as possible.
- DA – Disciplined Agile is a learner-centric hybrid Agile approach that puts your people first. Unlike other frameworks, DA is designed for the entire lifecycle of your project. From the inception to deployment and documentation. It is particularly flexible and can be scaled to your individual needs.
- Spotify – The music giant owes its success, among other things, to its agile methods and its own scaling model. The Spotify Framework is an employee-centric, autonomic model with an emphasis on culture and networks. Spotify uses tribes, squads, chapters, and guilds, with the squad forming the base of the model and behaving like a scrum team.
- Scrum@Scale is an extension of the Scrum framework. It’s used especially by companies that are already successfully using Scrum at the team level and now want to implement it in the entire company, as their next step on the agile journey.
- Customized and hybrid frameworks – Does your company require a flexible solution that can be continuously adapted to best practice methods? Conventional waterfall models can also be individually combined with agile methods or scaled-agile methods – tailored to your requirements.
