How SAFe 6.0 proposes the integration of OKR – and optimally complements OKR SAFe
How SAFe incorporates OKR: the following is a brief description of how SAFe proposes to integrate the OKR method into the SAFe framework in the current version 6.0: Translation of the strategy: the Strategic Themes are translated into corporate, organizational or top-level OKR sets and thus broken down into an OKR cycle (typically a quarter). By creating and communicating the OKR sets, the strategic topics are made understandable or more comprehensible for all levels and it is ensured that they are implemented through clear, results-oriented objectives. Alignment of the portfolio with the top-level OKR objectives: the SAFe portfolio backlog is prioritized based on the top-level OKR objectives. They also support SAFe portfolio management in selecting the relevant epics. Alignment of the solutions: the definition of MVPs for the solution backlog and their prioritization is supported by OKR targets – the OKR targets also serve to measure the success of the solutions and to measure progress. Support for the Agile Release Train or Agile Release Trains (ARTs): the OKR objectives offer the ARTs support and guidance in defining their PI objectives – also bottom-up. Conclusion: The combination of OKR and SAFe, i.e. the integration of OKR into the SAFe framework, creates a clear link to the strategy, to the strategic topics and thus to the overarching corporate goals. This promotes greater alignment and orientation of work and products to the company’s strategic priorities – sett focuses more strongly on business value – and supports continuous improvement and thus the company’s success.
Value Stream KPIs – from strategic themes and OKR targets to epics, business outcome and alignment
Value Stream KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) are quantifiable measures used to evaluate the performance of a value stream against its business objectives. Development Value Stream KPIs help to close the feedback loop – from the strategic themes through the lean budgeting process, to the epics i.e. the portfolio initiatives defined in the portfolio Kanban – to the business outcomes created by portfolio investments in the Development Value Stream. Each portfolio has numerous strategic themes that link the company’s strategy with the portfolio vision. They reflect the intended business results of the strategy, investments and portfolio vision. The objectives of the strategic topics are made much easier to understand with OKR, especially with the objectives, and are provided with clear, measurable key results through the key results. The general business intention of the portfolio is represented by the entirety of the OKR sets. The value stream KPIs can be key results of the OKR sets, or indicators that are related to the key results or other accompanying key performance indicators (KPIs). Both agile frameworks – the SAFe framework and the OKR framework or OKR process – realize the agile principles in perfect co-existence.
