At Edensoft Labs, we specialize in optimizing your SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) implementation to help organizations that have been disappointed with their results achieve true business agility. If your current SAFe practices are not delivering the expected improvements in agility, efficiency, and value delivery, our consulting services are designed to help you get back on track. Through expert guidance and tailored solutions, we address misalignments, skill gaps, and inefficiencies that are hindering your success. Our goal is to optimize your SAFe practices, empower your teams, and ensure that your SAFe implementation drives measurable outcomes that support your broader organizational goals.

 

Our Approach

 

We tailor our consulting services to address the unique needs of each organization or SAFe program. Through bi-weekly or monthly meetings, we dynamically assess and adjust the scope of each consulting activity to ensure it aligns with your evolving goals. A distinct advantage of working with Edensoft Labs is our ability to provide expert consulting across the full range of SAFe-related topics. This includes consulting on SAFe Optimization, Requirements Discovery, Product Management, Design, Code-Level Support, Technical Debt, Architecture, Quality Assurance, and Software Development Lifecycle processes. Our comprehensive approach ensures that all areas of your SAFe implementation are aligned and optimized for maximum impact, leading to measurable improvements in business agility, team autonomy, and value delivery.

 

Consulting Services

 

1. Consulting for SAFe Optimization
   
   We evaluate your current SAFe implementation through structured interviews with key personnel, including PMO staff, RTEs, Product Managers, Solution Architects, and other critical stakeholders. Our focus is on enhancing team autonomy by improving awareness of engineering work, enabling teams to resolve many of their dependencies directly. We also assess your Jira Align implementation and provide guidance on optimizing its use to better support your needs and reduce data entry overhead, improving alignment across teams and initiatives.
    

2. Requirements Discovery and Communication
   
   We assess your requirements discovery practices, documentation processes, and knowledge-sharing methods to identify gaps and improve alignment between organizational goals, user needs, and technical execution. Our consulting equips your teams to leverage Zero Code Prototyping—creating high-fidelity, interactive mockups to accelerate feedback, refine requirements, and minimize rework. We also ensure that requirements knowledge is effectively communicated to development teams, helping them understand the what and why behind each feature for better outcomes.
    

3. Product Management Consulting
   
   We train Product Managers to align product features with organizational goals and effectively communicate the product vision to all stakeholders, especially development teams. Our goal is to help Product Managers clearly articulate strategies, priorities, and the rationale behind features, ensuring that teams understand not just the how, but also the what and why. We also help Product Managers maintain a broader perspective of the entire software system being developed, promoting alignment across teams and efficient value delivery.
    

4. Design Consulting
   
   Our UX consultants provide tailored guidance to design teams, focusing on Zero Code Prototyping to create high-fidelity, interactive mockups that allow for early feedback and requirements validation. This approach ensures designs meet user needs and reduces waste before development begins. We train designers to collaborate effectively within the SAFe framework, integrating design seamlessly into product development, and enhancing overall product success through optimized design processes.
    

5. Code-Level Consulting
   
   We provide targeted support to resolve technical challenges while mentoring your teams in coding standards, modern practices, and software design best practices. By focusing on simplicity and maintainability, we reduce complexity, enabling faster, more reliable feature delivery. A key goal is to reduce future maintenance costs by ensuring solutions are easy to maintain, scalable, and sustainable. We also mentor key technical performers in writing highly maintainable code, encouraging continuous improvement and knowledge sharing across teams.
    

6. Technical Debt Consulting
   
   We assess your technical debt management practices at both the source code and architectural levels, identifying inefficiencies and gaps. We train teams to document technical debt transparently, improving collaboration between Product Management and Engineering teams. Our focus is on strategically addressing technical debt to improve code maintainability, minimize long-term costs, and ensure the viability of your codebase.
    

7. Architectural Consulting
   
   We help teams document and communicate the desired mix of quality attributes (non-functional requirements), such as performance, scalability, security, and maintainability. We assess whether your current architecture supports these attributes and identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and risks. Additionally, we evaluate how organizational structure may influence architecture and provide recommendations on realigning both architecture and structure to improve efficiency and scalability.
    

8. Quality Assurance and Testing Consulting
   
   We assess your testing practices across all levels—unit, integration, and end-to-end—and provide actionable recommendations to improve coverage, reduce risk, and ensure faster feedback. Our services focus on shifting QA left in the lifecycle, implementing automation frameworks, and integrating testing into CI/CD pipelines. We help establish continuous improvement processes to drive meaningful quality improvements over time, ensuring superior product quality and reduced rework.
    

9. Software Development Lifecycle Process Consulting
   
   We evaluate your SDLC practices, including CI/CD pipelines and metrics, identifying inefficiencies and recommending improvements. We help streamline workflows, improve automation, and enhance team coordination while reducing dependency escalation. By optimizing CI/CD practices and refining measurement systems, we ensure your development efforts are aligned with organizational goals, leading to faster delivery, greater efficiency, and improved outcomes.
