Thanks for sharing your points Tom, but they don't resonate with me.

Saying that what I described is wrong seems like a misunderstanding of my words. I shared what I indeed experienced with SAFe and observed other teams doing. It's not an abstract bash on SAFe.

The tone of the article is strong but what SAFe does to agile is an insult, I cannot use better words to describe how I despise this framework. I know that doesn't resonate with everyone, and that's fine. We don't have to agree with each other. That's my take and yours different. It's all fine.

SAFe is a reason to fail the moment you chose it because it's a bad tool to help you become agile. It's a fake agile framework. You may not agree with that, but that's what it is.
