Our Approach
Our Apolinar’s SAFe® coaches will help lead your organisation and its teams down the path of continuous improvement. We provide support for those in key roles as necessary, in starting up and recovering Agile Release Trains (ARTs), facilitating PI planning, change management, and bringing forth ideas to advance the transformation. If required, we can focus on improving certain areas such as solution architecture, Human Experience (HX), multi-vendor environments and DevOps capability.
01
Assess & Review
Where is your organisation at, in your Agile implementation?
Apolinar will assess and review your projects and if applicable, Agile Release Trains in flight, as well as a review of your people and processes. If further training is required, Apolinar can provide your team with training to achieve the knowledge and certifications required.

Boards, Executives and Leadership Teams Introduction
Scaling agile must be adopted from the top down. For Leadership Teams, we offer a one-day Scaling Agile SAFe Introduction that can be done in conjunction with Apolinar’s one-day Strategy and Alignment workshop.
This allows leaders to define their vision and outcomes from an enterprise agile capability transformation and provides an overview of the key scaling patterns and organisational aspects of the SAFe framework.

Decide
Now that we understand where your organisation is at, and have support from the Leadership Teams, we will help your team understand the Agile portfolio management patterns. Agile architecture principles, patterns, and roles, including Agile DevOps, alongside how to scale agile organisation-wide, including non-technical business areas.
