Based on recent research by Deloitte, governments have made significant strides in adopting Lean-Agile methodologies, with over 80% of U.S. programs incorporating some form of Agile or iterative development. However, the current use of Agile practices predominantly within development teams must address the broader challenges faced at the program and portfolio levels. These challenges encompass strategy alignment, budgeting, project-centric planning, acquisitions, governance, and compliance.

Government agency leaders urgently need comprehensive guidance and tailored courses on SAFe. This need is pressing as it will foster collaboration across programs and practitioners and surmount common obstacles to adopting SAFe and Lean-Agile practices. The time to act is now.

The microsite, designed as a dedicated online platform, is crucial in empowering government agency leaders, contractors, and SAFe practitioners. It provides access to guidance, resources, collateral materials, best practices, events, and case studies relevant to their specific roles in government programs. A single access point to vital information aims to foster collaboration, share knowledge, and assist agency leaders in overcoming the challenges associated with implementing SAFe and Lean-Agile practices at the program and portfolio levels.
