DA FLEX is an agnostic approach based on looking at an organization’s context and applying practices indicated by the theories of Flow, Lean and Theory of Constraints guided by theories of organizational development and systems thinking. The DA FLEX Playbook for SAFe describes how SAFe adoptions can be improved by taking advantage of what’s been done and learned. It accomplishes this by viewing SAFe from a value stream perspective (Lean’s definition, not SAFe’s redefinition) while adding key concepts that are missing in SAFe.
