Process and policy content
Bring process descriptions, policies, procedures, and guidance into the relevant platform workflows.
Tool & Repository Integration
Connect the operating model to the places where content and evidence already live.
Process guidance, policies, engineering documents, requirements, tickets, code, tests, and release evidence are rarely stored in one system. Integration makes them usable where the operating model needs them.
Overview
Start with the platform use case — not with integrating systems for their own sake.
Tool & Repository Integration connects Applied SAFe® Platform to the relevant sources so information can be used in process analysis, assurance, guidance, improvement, and agent workflows.
Objective
Make relevant enterprise content and execution evidence available to the platform through governed integrations.
Integration use cases
Four reasons to connect a source.
Engineering artifacts
Access requirements, design material, tests, reports, release information, and other work products.
Execution evidence
Use tickets, approvals, test results, traces, commits, reviews, and other evidence for assurance or adherence analysis.
Copilot and guidance
Make connected information available in the appropriate governed context.
How the service works
Five steps from information need to validated data.
Define the information need
Start with the platform use case rather than integrating systems for their own sake.
Identify source systems
Determine where the required content or evidence lives.
Define access and scope
Agree what information should be available and what permissions or boundaries apply.
Configure or implement the connection
Use standard connectors where available and customer-specific integration where needed.
Validate the data in context
Confirm that the connected content supports the intended workflow.
Deliverables
- Integration scope
- Source-system mappings
- Configured standard integrations where available
- Access configuration
- Content / evidence validation
- Integration documentation
- Identified gaps requiring custom work
Benefits
- Use the content where it already lives instead of copying it.
- Give assurance and adherence real execution evidence to work from.
- Keep permissions and boundaries explicit.
- Validate the connection against the workflow it exists for.
Where a standard connector is not enough
Customer-Specific Integration
Covers systems and workflows the standard connectors do not reach.
