Scaled Agile

08/05/2026

We are thrilled that Snowbird Agility, Inc. will be joining us in San Diego.

Join members of our team next month at the SAFe and AI Summit!

Most organizations do not fail because they customized SAFe; they fail because they never intentionally designed their operating model. Configuration and customization are not the same thing, and the difference matters. Knowing which one you are doing (and why) is the first competency of a sustainable SAFe implementation.

Still on the fence about San Diego? Let Amsterdam do the talking. 🎙️

Watch this — then share this with a colleague and register for the SAFe+AI Summit San Diego this September. You won't regret it. https://bit.ly/4eJ82Zx

The SAFe framework evolves because of its community. And that community showed up in a big way in Amsterdam. 🙌

Practitioners from around the globe came together to share, learn, and push the future of enterprise agility forward — proof that the human side of transformation is what makes it all work.

The conversation doesn't stop here. San Diego is next, September 2026 — and you won't want to miss it. https://bit.ly/4ex9Epf

Lean thinking has always been about more than efficiency. It's about wisdom.

The principle of eliminating waste isn't just about cutting what doesn't work. It's about understanding your systems well enough to know what actually delivers value — and what just looks like it does.

As enterprises navigate AI adoption, that same wisdom applies.

Not every AI use case delivers value. Not every workflow that can be automated should be. Not every efficiency gain is worth the tradeoff it creates.

The organizations applying systems thinking to their AI adoption — rather than just enthusiasm — are the ones making decisions they won't regret in three years.

That's not a caution against AI. It's a case for approaching it the same way the best enterprise leaders have always approached transformation: with rigor, with principles, and with their people at the center.

Thousands of employees watch the same prompt engineering videos, earn the same certifications — and return to work largely unchanged.

Sound familiar?

In his new Forbes Technology Council article, our Chief Product Officer & Chief Methodologist, Andrew Sales, names the hidden risk in enterprise AI training: it's built to feel productive, not to be transformative.

Certifications are a starting point, not a destination. Tools training produces individuals who can use AI — not teams that can deliver AI value at scale. And if you're tracking course completions instead of behavioral change, you're not measuring what determines success.

The organizations that lead in the AI era will treat AI adoption as a chance to change how the organization works — not as a learning management problem. That thinking has guided us for 15 years. AI just raised the stakes.

Most AI training programs are designed to feel productive rather than to be transformative.

Happy World Environment Day.

Sustainable ecosystems don't thrive by extracting everything as fast as possible. They thrive through balance — input and output, growth and renewal, pace and rest.

Organizations work the same way.

SAFe's sustainable pace principle wasn't written with the environment in mind. But the logic is identical: systems that operate within their natural capacity, that allow for renewal and reflection, outlast and outperform the ones that don't.

As enterprises embed AI into their operating models, that principle becomes even more critical. Automation creates capacity. What you do with that capacity — whether you reinvest it in your people or just compress timelines further — determines whether your transformation holds.

Build sustainable systems. Inside and out. 🌱

Happy Global Running Day. Well, technically it was yesterday, but here we are 😜.

Every elite runner knows: the goal isn't to sprint the whole marathon. It's to find the pace that lets you finish strong.

Enterprise transformation works the same way.

Organizations treating AI adoption like a sprint are burning out their best people, accumulating technical debt, and losing institutional knowledge in the chaos. The ones treating it like a long race — strategic, sustainable, and built on sound principles — are still gaining ground when others are gasping for air.

SAFe's sustainable pace principle isn't a productivity tip. It's a philosophy: the enterprises that build systems for endurance don't just survive disruption. They're stronger because of it.

The enterprises worth building are the ones built to go the distance. 🏃

Five patterns. One goal: architect for a future you can't predict.

At the SAFe+AI Summit in Amsterdam, a central focus emerged around five proven AI value patterns helping organizations move from AI curiosity to AI capability.

One of the most resonant ideas from the event: stop managing individual tasks. Start managing intent.

It's a small shift in language — but a fundamental shift in how teams are structured, how decisions get made, and how AI gets embedded into the way work actually flows.

These aren't theoretical frameworks. They're approaches being applied right now by practitioners in 25+ countries who came together in Amsterdam to share what's working.
