We accompany your (digital) transformation
e.g. through the introduction / optimisation of SAFe© in your company
Our approach:
personal advice, individual concept, extensive practical experience
We advise on various
methods of work and project organisation, from agile to hybrid to "classic". As a training and consulting company, we help our clients to achieve better work results – and with more satisfied employees. Our thematic focus is on agile and hybrid approaches (Scrum, Kanban ... but also PMI) and in large/scaled environments on the SAFe© framework.
Typical activities of our consultants and trainers in agile/hybrid SAFe transformations
Accompany the introduction of SAFe
- Analysis of the current state
- Joint development of a hybrid SAFe approach and vision that fits the company, the specific context and the previous approach
- Joint development of the transformation components and activities along the "SAFe Implementation Roadmap" that fit the company, the context and the vision
- Help the client to fill the first roles/committees (e.g. change agents, business owners, LACE, guiding coalition) and to train and coach them
- Set up and implement accompanying change management project
- Conduct all necessary SAFe training internally or externally: Not many have the necessary training competencies and certifications, coupled with a lot of practical experience, as comprehensively as we do. Here is a selection of the SAFe trainings (DE and EN) we have successfully conducted: SPC, RTE, APM, LPM, SSM, SASM, POPM, SP, SDP, ARCH
Analyse, accompany, improve existing SAFe implementations
Specific consulting on different SAFe methods/levels:
- Values Stream Identification and ART definition: workshops and consulting
- Introduce/support Lean Portfolio Management (LPM); incl. development of the appropriate LPM roadmap

Scagilize: Capacity development
The focus of Scagilize founder Gerd Wessling – due to his more than 25 years of experience as a trainer and consultant in Agile/Hybrid/"Classic" project management – is on complete transformations and at the portfolio level. He himself and the Scagilize team hold the trainings (remotely or on site), plan and accompany the implementation of these transformations – if necessary temporarily also e.g. as RTEs, Agile Coaches, STEs, SPCs and Scrum Masters. On request, we provide our own (senior) Agile Coaches, who know the respective roles very well and are certified accordingly.
Our claim at Scagilize is:
Helping companies to help themselves.
➙ We want to advise and enable companies to learn methodically and in implementation what is necessary – and to apply this themselves permanently as quickly as possible.
Whether Agile, Scrum, Kanban, OKR, Hybrid, "Classic" (PMI/Prince2/IPMA) and/or scaled agile/lean-agile approaches such as LeSS, Scrum@Scale and SAFe:
For us, the problem determines the possible solution, not the other way around.
Your advantage with Scagilize: credible and clear advice
We advise authentically and credibly; in our consultations and trainings we are clear and accessible. This has proven to be a very good mix:
Our clients really enjoy working with us and recommend us to others, because they really appreciate the way we work.
You can rely on us. Promised.
For which companies is SAFe the right framework?
"I have been involved in agile, 'traditional' and hybrid project management for more than 25 years. In large and medium-sized companies, I have often observed how the transformation from very 'traditional' project management (e.g. PMI etc.) to more agile/hybrid approaches was difficult. In my search for a better solution, I came across SAFe, among other things, got involved with it and found it very coherent, interesting and logical right from the start – but also pleasantly complex :).
Each framework can be exactly the right one – for the respective client or the respective set-up. Due to the market dynamics and solution expertise with many of my current clients, I currently focus on SAFe (if a scaled, lean/agile approach makes sense in the specific case). Since I also know many other frameworks and am certified in them, I can always recognise early enough if SAFe, for example, does not fit - and then suggest other approaches."
