Introduce the platform around value — not around features.
An enterprise platform does not need to be deployed everywhere on day one. The roadmap defines how Applied SAFe® Platform expands through the organization based on use cases that create value.
Sequence the rollout so each wave creates usable value.
One organization needs process customization first. Another needs compliance mapping, internal-assessment automation, a single ART, or an Agentic Engineering pilot. The right sequence depends on what the organization is trying to achieve.
Create a practical adoption path from the first use case to broader organizational use.
What the roadmap can consider.
- First user groups
- Operating-model scope
- Process migration
- Standards and regulatory content
- Tailoring
- Assessments
- Evidence sources
- Integrations
- Training
- Administrator capability
- Governance
- Agentic Engineering
- Rollout across ARTs, products, or units
Five steps from objectives to a measurable roadmap.
Define adoption objectives
Agree what the platform needs to achieve and for whom.
Identify use cases
Prioritize concrete business and operating-model use cases.
Identify dependencies
Determine what content, integration, enablement, data, governance, or process work each use case requires.
Sequence the rollout
Build an adoption roadmap that creates usable value incrementally.
Define ownership and success measures
Assign responsibilities and determine how adoption progress will be evaluated.
- Prioritized use cases
- Rollout waves
- Dependency map
- Enablement plan
- Integration sequence
- Ownership model
- Adoption measures
- Implementation roadmap
- Expand around value rather than around the feature list.
- Know what each wave depends on before committing to it.
- Give every wave an owner.
- Measure adoption against something agreed in advance.
