The thesis Managing s successful SAFe transformation addresses issues and phases of a Scaled Agile Framework transformation. The need for the research arose from the lack of equivalent studies of such contemporary subject. The objective of the thesis is to clarify and study the factors behind a successful SAFe transformation through a case study of two cases. The thesis’ theory is based on previous research on change management and large-scale agile transformations. The qualitative research, carried out through interviews, was conducted by a four-member research team. The thesis and the research were composed during a quarter. It was found, that enhanced prioritising was the most desired outcome of the change, and improving the communication of the change could have a positive impact on the success of the transformation.
