Are there plans to support Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)?

[Frank Schophuizen]

I have read an article about a way to map the JIRA Agile concepts to SAFe. It is a workaround, not a real support for SAFe. Are there plans to support SAFe in the near future?

For example:

• Epics on Portfolio level, Features on Program level and Stories on Team level
• Releases and release trains on program level
• Business backlog, Program backlog and Team backlog on the respective levels

SoftwarePlant (the authors of BigPicture) were certified in SAFe and will release a fully SAFe-compliant version in 2016. First is the roadmap (with ARTs, program increments, cadences and so on) in Q1.

Sander Brienen has given a presentation in 2013: http://blogs.atlassian.com/2013/12/scaling-agile-enterprise-safe-jira-agile/

The documentation of the Agile plugin contains some descriptions: https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=432801266

I have written an blog entry about it: https://fschop.wordpress.com/2015/08/13/implementing-safe-with-jira-part-1/

So, I hate "necroposts", where people comment on something that's really really out of date.

So, my first - have a look at "Jira Align".  It implements SAFe

Looks like the necromancer post has gone leaving you looking like the zombie poster @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- . I'll vouch for seeing a comment on this thread that wasn't yours in the last 24 hours.

Thank you.

The blog post referenced is from 3 years ago.  Are there any updated info or plans around SAFE?  Is there a vendor this has farmed this out to perhaps?

I suspect that's the direction the "Portfolio" addon will take as it gets integrated into JIRA + Agile.
