Michael, I think a couple points of SAFe are relevant and consistent with your arguments. - You come up with requirements and build to those requirements but unless you are doing something that has been done countless times before, the requirements are not completely known and unchanging. Lean/agile assumes change will happen and you should accommodate. The challenge is to recognize and respond as soon as possible rather than heading down the wrong path assuming certainty that doesn’t exist. - XP argues for creating the minimum. I’m not convinced that the minimum is always the most efficient. If you know how to design in flexibility you are likely to need, that seems like a good investment to me. - In the SAFe context, there is a lot of emphasis on getting stakeholders together to express and understand needs and be on the same page as to what we agree is high priority. The waste avoided is people working at cross purposes. It also looks at the processes and where there is significant delay in moving forward. Delay is waste. And, as noted above, recognizing the need for change early avoids the waste of blithely heading down the wrong path and building the wrong thing. - SAFe also appreciates that architecture work is needed and there needs to be planning and resources made available for enablers. It doesn’t specify how to do architecture, but it appreciates architecture doesn’t emerge by magic. Ken ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
