Scrum@Scale and Scaled agile framework (safe) Program

Advocates of the Programs:

1. Create a reference model by Self-Organizing Agile Teams

2. Requires leadership support by building guiding collation

3. Do not scale crappy code- building quality is the must

4. Dual Operating System- Organize around flow of value
