PMO

Factory ”Get going SAFe” = PI0

Processes and way-of-working established Infrastructure and environments defined and set up Tools available, usage agreed Process of build and release management established Physical environments (workplace) set up People/teams with required skills available, ready for onboarding Scope of Factory development agreed Funding of Factory development agreed Code base for Factory development and branching strategy agreed Coding guidelines and QA agreed Contractual situation (Factory vs. eComm coding) resolved Dependencies and relation of eComm to Factory environments

identified, measures to handle appropriately defined

Challenges right now (mid PI1)

Features requires Legacy parts with own Release cycles, run by vendors, having SLAs

Continuous Delivery ”all the way” Dashboards and visibility in real time Code Base and merging strategies Get stable velocity to base forecasting on Truly XFTs co-located with vendors and sourcing Governance and funding = understanding of SAFe

principles ”outside” the ART Find quick decision flow for small & highly
