An empirical analysis of success factors in the adaption of the scaled agile framework -- first outcomes from an empirical study

Abstract: Agile methodologies are used for improving productivity and quality of development originally created for small teams. However , now they are expanding to larger organizations, for which "scaled up" approaches have been proposed. This study presents the preliminary outcomes from a survey on the effects of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), which is considered the most used of such approaches. The apparent advantages and limitations are discussed along with the lines for future research.
