Abstract

To meet the ever-changing market demands, more efficient strategies are required due to the complexity of today's software development. Because it can combine Agile concepts with organizational structures to manage large-scale projects involving multiple teams and departments, the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) has been widely adopted. This research investigates how Flow Metrics from the SAFe framework can be used as a tool to improve productivity, efficiency and alignment of the software development process. This research examines how measurements such as flow velocity, flow efficiency, flow time, and flow load can be used to pinpoint bottlenecks, streamline processes, and improve the value delivered to clients. This research uses a qualitative methodology to examine the use of Flow Metrics in two interdependent Program Increments (PIs) by combining interviews with Agile practitioners and a literature survey. The analysis highlights how the Continuous Delivery (CD) Pipeline, backlog synchronization, and program increment planning—three critical components of SAFe—interact with each other. By highlighting the importance of metrics-based performance evaluation, collaborative planning, and continuous improvement, the findings of this research are intended to offer a useful foundation for businesses looking to implement SAFe for large-scale software development. This research advances a more comprehensive understanding of how SAFe and Flow Metrics can facilitate increasingly complex software development while guaranteeing adaptability to changing business needs.
