How SAFe Can Be Applied to Technology Migration & Greenfield Initiatives

In this webinar, Em Campbell-Pretty and Adrienne Wilson explore challenges and strategies for migrating off legacy platforms while continuing to deliver value. The session examines the complexities of outdated technology infrastructures and the political and financial debates surrounding them.

Contrasting the dangers of a ‘lift and shift’ approach, they will offer practical insights into how to utilise SAFe practices and incremental, value-driven migration strategies to balance technical debt reduction with delivering business outcomes. Join us to learn how to navigate this intricate process and achieve a sustainable technology transformation.

Learning Outcomes
