Corporate Responsibility<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of our mantras at Scaled Agile is \u201cDo All the Good You Can.\u201d While this means different things to different people, we express this ethos as a company in several ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pledge 1% <\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Scaled Agile donates 1% of its stock, 1% of its profit, and 1% of its time to humanitarian aid organizations around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day every year is dedicated to a company-wide volunteer event, teams dedicate one day to volunteer time off (VTO) four times a year, and individual employees each get an additional volunteer day to spend as they see fit.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We Value Every Voice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is not a check box at Scaled Agile; it\u2019s built into the very fabric of the SAFe methodology. Every person on a team is heard in the decision-making process, and any individual can pause a meeting or initiative to register a concern that will be heard by the entire group so that the entire group can resolve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is especially true during the PI Planning event, where at the end each member of the Agile Release Train (ART) provides a vote of confidence for the plan. At this point any team member, regardless of location, job description or background, can raise a concern for the entire organization to address before committing to the plan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
