Over the past few years I have published a deep-dive on every single activity in the SAFe DevOps Health Radar. This post is the round-the-radar tour: a single page that walks you through all four aspects and all sixteen stages, with the original video for each and a link to the full article. Use it as a map — to find your starting point, to share with your team, or to assess where you are today and where you want to go next.
In this article, I explain what Continuous Exploration is within the SAFe DevOps Health Radar and why it is essential for building the right thing in the right way. Please note that everything discussed here is under the license of Scaled Agile, and that the Scaled Agile Framework is a framework to be used as a toolbox. Take out of this toolbox what fits your needs and what solves your problems.
In this video, I explain what Synthesize is and how it works within the SAFe DevOps Health Radar. Synthesize is the fourth and final step of Continuous Exploration, where we combine the outputs of Hypothesize, Collaborate and Research, and Architect into a prioritized backlog with a clear vision and roadmap.
Collaborate & Research is the second step in the SAFe DevOps Health Radar. In this video, I explain how teams collaborate internally and conduct market research to define a minimal feature set that validates the hypothesis from the previous step.
