SAFe by Day, Spreadsheet by Night, Dead Sprint Radio, Ep. 2.13

Agile is not broken. We are. SAFe courses will teach you the framework. But nobody — and I mean nobody — will teach you what to do when your org is running SAFe, Kanban, Lean Six Sigma, three DevOps pipelines, and something someone built in a spreadsheet in 2019. Welcome to the hybrid reality. And it's where most of us actually live. In this episode Hoz gets real about the messy, complicated, spreadsheet-held-together world that most SAFe practitioners are actually operating in — and what to do about it. 🔑 TOPICS COVERED Why 3 out of 4 organizations run a hybrid or homegrown version of SAFe — not the clean textbook install The Jira rejection story — how blaming the tool almost ended an early transformation The Dual Operating System — what it actually means and why most orgs misunderstand it completely Functional roles vs. hierarchical roles — why the org chart and the delivery chart are two different things Value stream mapping with a taco truck — the simplest way to find where your delivery is breaking Load-bearing vs. decorative — how to know which SAFe practices you actually need right now Why DevOps and SAFe are not competing — and why the connection between them has to be intentional One move: map your current tools and practices against SAFe, find three gaps, pick one ⚡ GET CERTIFIED WITH HOZ Leading SAFe® — June 21st | Henderson, NV | Seats still available 👉 https://endearing-parfait-f09a2f.netl... 📬 WORK WITH HOZ The NEXU — Hybrid Operating Model Consulting, Operational Agility, SAFe® Coaching 📧 [email protected] 💼   / hosny-r-73400a6   📅 Book a call: https://calendly.com/hoz-howzainc/30min 🌐 https://endearing-parfait-f09a2f.netl... ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 — Intro 0:10 — Cold Open: Nobody Teaches You This Part 0:45 — The Hybrid Reality: Most Orgs Don't Run SAFe Clean 3:00 — The Jira Story: Blaming the Tool 7:00 — The Dual Operating System 12:00 — Value Stream Mapping: The Taco Truck 17:00 — Load Bearing vs. Decorative 20:00 — One Move: Map Your Gaps 22:00 — The Close: Operational Agility 💬 Are you running SAFe by day and spreadsheets by night?
