Skyguide: Applying SAFe for cyber physical systems in a highly regulated environment
With about 1500 employees, Skyguide is the solution provider and operator of air traffic control services in Central Europe. In Switzerland, Skyguide also coordinates all military aircraft.
Skyguide has been using the Scaled Agile Framework for 5 years and now had to prove that the development processes are compliant with all regulations stated by the EU and Switzerland. Until 2020, all processes were documented in SOPs. After evaluation, it was decided to describe the SAFe Processes based on Applied SAFe as an implementation of SAFe in Stages and to adapt/extend it to the needs of Skyguide.
We present our ‘hands-on’ experiences, lessons learned, some details of the actual implementation, pros and cons of the status quo, and our conclusion so far.
