Where can I get a SAFe plugin?

[Andre Gaytan]

We are currently running JIRA software and I am looking to evaluation a SAFe Plugin.

How may I get started?

[Peter Körner]

My Team at  //SEIBERT/MEDIA developed Agile Hive, a full SAFe® Solution as a JIRA-Plugin: https://agile-hive.com/ – available for Jira Server and Jira DataCenter in the Atlassian Marketplace: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218976/agile-hive-safe-with-atlassian-tools

It supports SAFe® on all Levels within your Jira Instance.

[Matthew Jagiello]

Currently the only plugin that supports the Program level of SAFe for JIRA is BigPicture: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/eu.softwareplant.bigpicture/server/overview

Soon they will hold a public webinar showing the SAFe-oriented capabilities, the link to registration is in the latest Scaled Agile Insider.

Following Matthew's post, here are white papers on how to configure BigPicture for SAFe and how to run PI planning sessions: https://softwareplant.com/safe/

(Alternatively, see this guide on how to do PI planning.)

BigPicture 8, new in 2020, brings "summary lines" for the executives, at program, ART, PI, iteration levels, please see the screenshot.

Hi Andre, there is not directly a "SAFe plugin", but there are several plugins that help with planning and reporting across multiple teams (i.e., managing agile at scale). Portfolio for JIRA is one of them, and provided directly by Atlassian: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.radiantminds.roadmaps-jira/server/overview - I'd suggest to start a free trial, and check out the new "live plans" (you'll see them in the product as you create a new portfolio plan). There's also a dedicated LinkedIn group around Portfolio, and specifically the latest capabilities, which might be interesting for you! https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7018171 

Cheers,
