We are excited to announce the release of SwiftEASe in the recently concluded SAFe Summit in Texas, held from 2 – 6 October 2017. With this Digité launches a new, tightly integrated tool for planning and managing the entire software delivery process based on the SAFe framework.

I hoped to understand the concepts that made the Kanban approach so universally popular. The masterclass started by introducing what essentially is Kanban and the very important concepts around ‘Flow’ and ‘Visualization’.
