A change agent is invited to help an ART where management requires the teams to make big, up-front, and detailed scope commitments for every release. These commitments are not mandated by the external environment. What can the change agent do to best coach the decision makers?
SAFe Principle #3, ''Assume variability; preserve options,'' addresses this scenario directly. The change agent should coach decision makers on the value of maintaining flexibility in scope and design, rather than committing up-front to detailed plans. This principle helps reduce risk and ensures better outcomes as new information emerges.
