Within Migros ( especially in the Migros-Genossenschafts- Bund ), we use Scaled Agile Framework ( SAFe ) and have already established 8 agile release trains ( ARTs ), in which more than 1000 people work together in an agile way . The agile transformation and the digital transformation go hand in hand at Migros and is the prerequisite in order to react to new business needs with the necessary flexibility and speed ,” explains Baschnagel .

Thereby we analyse business needs provide orientation , strive to ensure maximum value , ensure lean governance , and build out the technology base , all with a key focus in mind : transparency .” technologymagazine . com 39
