Agil8 becomes scaled agile framework's (SAFe) gold certified partner

LONDON, ENGLAND: Agil8 Ltd has joined the Scaled Agile Partner program at the Gold Partner level.

"We're excited to have agil8 on board," said Dean Leffingwell, chief methodologist and creator of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). "Our partners are companies that believe in agility at scale and the power of the Scaled Agile Framework to successfully transform organizations."

As a prestigious Gold partner, agil8 has demonstrated significant expertise in delivering Scaled Agile services and is well positioned to support organisations with large or complex enterprise agile transformations.

David Hicks, agil8 CEO said: "Dean and I first discussed scaled agile in China in 2008 when we were working together on a global enterprise agile rollout, with over 150 Scrum teams all working on the same software product. The approach we were using in 2008 has evolved into the Scaled Agile Framework and has very quickly become the leading method for large scale agile programmes using Scrum and XP. We are delighted to become a Scaled Agile Gold Partner and look forward to helping individuals and companies learn how to apply SAFe to deliver significant benefits in productivity, quality and time to market."

The Scaled Agile Framework is a proven, publicly accessible knowledge base for implementing agile practices at enterprise scale, consisting of approximately 300 pages of guidance. Its primary interface is the "Big Picture" graphic which highlights the individual roles, teams, activities and artefacts necessary to scale agile from the team, to teams of teams, to the enterprise level. It has been successfully applied in programs ranging from only 50-100 people, to enterprises employing thousands of software developers.
