Accelerating Flow Workshop

Applying Flow Accelerators in Context — a hands-on workshop enabling enterprises and teams implementing SAFe to apply the eight Flow Accelerators within their context and commit to immediate improvement actions.

What You'll Learn

From Flow Theory to Committed Improvement Actions

Instruction + discussion + commitment

This workshop combines instruction with ample time to understand your organization's challenges to flow, discuss ways to improve, and ultimately commit to targeted improvement items — supporting the broad range of participants needed to optimize a whole value stream.

Know your flow tools and coaching

Understand the available flow tools and coaching resources available to you within the SAFe ecosystem.

Align on SAFe Flow Metrics usage

Establish a shared understanding of how SAFe Flow Metrics are currently being used — and where there are gaps.

Apply all eight Flow Accelerators

Understand how each of the SAFe Flow Accelerators applies within your specific organizational context.

Create a flow-based improvement backlog

Align on concrete actions and build a flow-based improvement backlog that the group commits to pursuing.

See the bigger system
