SAFe Forum Session The saying goes "it's not life or death", for us it's all about life
with Melissa Hay – Principal Consultant & SPCT-Candidate, Pretty Agile
We’re Australian Red Cross Lifeblood, and we’re here to help donors give life — and recipients get it. We work together, across the nation, with donors, communities and health providers. Our purpose? Life-giving donations for life-changing outcomes.
For Lifeblood, it really is about life. This is the story of Lifeblood shifting delivery to the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) using cross functional teams, DevOps and MVPs with a goal of improving the Donor Experience. It’s a three-year journey with tangible value in the form of driving more people to donate and more meaningful work for the people of Lifeblood.
