Scrum vs SAFe: How are they different?

18. Context of
Implementation
www.edureka.co
Scrum is a framework for Agile projects and works best when used
by companies with a simple organizational structure.
SAFe
SCRUM
SAFe is generally applied when large companies already working
under Agile are willing to expand the “agile way of working” beyond
the teams

19. www.edureka.co
SAFeSCRUM
Scrum is to the Agile Team SAFe is to the Agile Enterprise

20. Team
Structure &
Roles
www.edureka.co
Scrum Team usually has 7-11 persons with the following
main roles:
• Product Owner
• Scrum Master
• Development Team
SAFe
SCRUM
SAFe has different roles at four different levels. Some key roles include:
• Releaser Train Engineer
• Program Management
• Value Stream Engineer
• Solution Architect
• Epic Owners, etc

21. Team
Dependencies
www.edureka.co
In Scrum the level of dependencies between teams tends to be
lower than within SAFe. Development Teams are given the
freedom to organize themselves and manage their own work.
SAFe
SCRUM
Safe requires a high level of coordination and alignment
across teams and management levels which increase work
dependency.

22. Ceremonies &
Time Frames
www.edureka.co
Within Scrum, projects are conducted during a sprint, a specific
timebox where various ceremonies occur. A cycle last from 1 to 4
weeks.
SAFe
SCRUM
Safe follows more or less the same structure. A cycle lasts for
about 2 weeks (Iteration in Team level). During this, they follow a
plan-do-check-adjust method.
