Scaled Agile, Inc.

What Scaled Agile, Inc. does

Scaled Agile, Inc., headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, is the developer and licensor of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), the most widely adopted enterprise-scale Agile methodology globally. Founded in 2011 and privately held with growth equity backing from Leeds Equity Partners (2019), the company has trained more than 2 million professionals across 20,000+ organizations in 60 countries, including 70 of the Fortune 100 and 500+ government agencies.

SAFe is a configurable knowledge base of integrated principles, practices, and competencies for Lean, Agile, and DevOps at enterprise scale, spanning team, program, and portfolio layers. The core product is supported by the SAFe Studio digital learning and certification platform, role-based training variants (Scrum Master, Product Owner/Product Manager, Release Train Engineer, Leading SAFe, Implementing SAFe), and specialized tracks for government, hardware, and AI-Native contexts. The 2026 launch of AI-Native SAFe — with new roles (AI Value Architect), defined human-AI handoffs, and AI governance features — represents a deliberate repositioning of the framework for the enterprise AI era.

Scaled Agile generates revenue principally through instructor-led training delivered by a global network of certified Training and Transformation Partners, with elite-tier Global Transformation Partners including Accenture, NTT Data, CGI, and Booz Allen Hamilton. Direct revenue streams include certification/curriculum licensing, subscription-style access through SAFe Studio, and quote-based enterprise advisory services for ROI modeling and large-scale transformation consulting. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; contracts are typically multi-year and partner-mediated. Go-to-market is channel- and event-driven, anchored by the annual SAFe Summit and a multi-language thought-leadership content engine spanning blog, podcast, and webinar channels.
