The linchpin in a large-scale transformation is architecture. Success requires changes to architecture, technology, and tools. Yesterday’s organizational structure, development strategies and mental models will not (and cannot create) modern technology.  While others are focused on being an agent of change, you must become an architect of change. 

We will briefly explore today’s leading transformation framework SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework), then reinforce the critical role of Architects in the transformation. We will introduce you to some clever tricks, practical techniques and useful strategies you need to be successful. 

Join our workshop and discover some of the basic elements of success, which extend far beyond the process. We will demonstrate how a unique approach to capability modeling can become the key to your success. Then we will reveal the four critical Tech Practices you MUST include in your transformation approach.
