Quick Definition:
Scaling Agile Frameworks are sets of principles and practices designed to help large organizations apply Agile methodologies across multiple teams and departments.
SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework)
SAFe is the most popular scaling framework. It provides a highly structured approach with multiple levels (Team, Program, Large Solution, Portfolio) and specific roles and ceremonies for each level.
LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum)
LeSS is a more minimalist approach. It aims to apply the principles of Scrum to large-scale development with as little extra overhead as possible. It emphasizes simplicity and organizational redesign.
| Feature | SAFe | LeSS |
|---|---|---|
| Complexity | High (Prescriptive) | Low (Descriptive) |
| Focus | Enterprise Alignment | Scrum at Scale |
| Flexibility | Moderate | High |
