SAFe case studies

Our explainers tell you what a role or concept is. The case studies show it at work. They follow one team at Hartwell Bank, a fictional bank, on the Agile Release Train that builds its digital lending. Sometimes things go wrong first, the way they do in real teams, and then we replay the same moment with the concept applied.
