Don't Fucking Do SAFe

Don’t Fucking Do SAFe is a blunt, unapologetic critique of what happens when organizations mistake structure for progress and control for agility. This is not a polite introduction to frameworks, and it is definitely not the answer. It won’t give you a step-by-step replacement or a shiny new model to follow. What it does give you is something far more useful: a reason to think again. Through a relentless stream of observations, examples, and uncomfortable truths, this book offers a large number of reasons why SAFe often does more harm than good. It exposes the patterns, the excuses, and the thinking traps that keep organizations stuck in complexity while pretending to be agile. Take this book with a light heart. It’s not a grand epic or a carefully polished theory. It’s sharp, direct, and sometimes a bit uncomfortable. If you care about autonomy, ownership, and actually getting things done, it will challenge you to question what you thought you knew.
