As per SAFe framework, “Continuous delivery pipelines result from applying DevOps effectively to value streams.”(1)
Even after years of implementing the SAFe framework, organisations still fall short in managing the entire application development pipeline at scale. Agile planning is still disconnected from the DevOps practices causing bottlenecks in releasing and deploying applications continuously.
Planning your Agile Release Trains (ARTs) and Program Increment (PI) goes beyond application development. It requires planning the entire application delivery and its dependencies, including release and deployment strategy.

When planning your PI, teams need the right combination of insights and automation to ensure alignment on what and how to deliver applications to customers successfully.
Join us in this session to get three critical insights into how to apply DevOps effectively to value streams.

• Assessing your current application pipeline and identifying bottlenecks
• Connecting the dots between DevOps and value streams
• Delivering value instead of features
