Scaled Agile Framework(SAFe) Application To R&D Management In Company N

Given the rapidly innovative technology change,the market environment of enterprises is becoming subverted and the survival and development of enterprises is becoming challenged.The key to success of enterprises ‘market is to embrace technological change.With the development of Internet technology,software has changed from technology to product,and then to solution and service.Also,the scale of software industry is growing.The enterprises are becoming more and more diversified via mergers and acquisitions,distributed multinational development,offshore outsourcing.With the further development of information technology,new application requirements such as 5G,Internet of Things,cloud computing and big data have brought new challenges to software enterprises.The new challenges are more and more unclear demand for products,more and more specialization of the industry led by fierce commercial competition and more and more stringent users ‘requirements for products.Only with the ability to respond quickly to changes in demand and create value for customers,can the enterprises win in the rapidly updated market environment and the field of full competition.With the rapid updating of software requirements,traditional software development management methods are becoming more and more difficult to adapt,so some lightweight agile methods have been produced.Enterprises have achieved the target to make projects with the highest business priority continuously work towards such goals.Meeting customer needs,accelerating product launch time,and reducing enterprise turnover time are expected through employment of AGILE development methodology like Scrum.While the size of software project team expands to tens or even hundreds of thousands of people,great project management challenges are coming.It still cannot promote the agile development and delivery of the overall project coupled with the increasing uncertainty of product demand.Scaled AGILE is a method that focuses on multi-team cooperation in product development.It can help reduce management complexity and enhance collaboration between teams.Meanwhile,the agility of software teams is maintained by making them move forward faster,learn faster,and align the team's results with the vision and strategy of the enterprise.Company N is taken as the research object in this article and aimed to show the problems of product delivery schedule and quality in its software development.The continuous software version delivery data is counted in half a year from department A,which is important node in the process of product delivery on a certain business line,and then the reasons for its failure to deliver software on time are analyzed and summarized.Based on the comparison of different software development management methods and the actual situation of department A,the large-scale agile method,called Scaled Agile Framework(SAFe)is introduced as a solution.Finally,Department A improves software quality and improves software continuous delivery capability through such action,introducing route design for SAFe,development process management and taking corresponding technical practices.To maximize the user and business value created by products,enterprises still need to tailor and optimize process operation and management methods according to the characteristics of organizations,even SAFe provides a framework for enterprises to follow rules when conducting.Agile thinking emphasizes the importance of people.When small team agile mode is extended to complex organizational with hundreds or even thousands of people's development teams,enterprises should define the implementation and promotion of agile from the organizational point of view.Scaled agility requires both management practice and technical practice,so can efficient software delivery be realized,and market value created continuously.At the same time,it can continue to innovate in its own technological capabilities and realize the agility of the organization.
