Your message is awaiting moderation. Thank you for participating in the discussion.
I'm encouraged to read the book, Lean Enterprise; seems it's with useful content. But I don't understand the need to hit out on SAFe!
Almost everything you mention about SAFe are misunderstood, except for the normalized story point sizing. Even that; you should work in a large organisation to understand that normalized story points are a better option; when the pure agile story points are not reachable.
I would suggest folks who are listening in to this post to check out the following as well.
