Synchronized Project Management

• Coordinated management of parallel digital initiatives
• Particularly valuable for multiple KHZG or similar digital transformation projects
• Timeboxed approach with Program Increments and Sprints
• Joint planning to identify dependencies early

Dependency Management

• Cross-team dependencies identified during PI Planning
• Program Board provides visibility into relationships between teams
• Regular synchronization points (ART Sync, System Demo)
• Proactive management of bottlenecks

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• IT teams, medical technology, and clinical departments plan together
• Shared understanding of priorities and constraints
• Joint ownership of outcomes across traditional silos
• Example: All stakeholders coordinate work for a "Digital Patient Service" in a single PI Planning

Predictable Delivery

• Regular cadence creates rhythm and predictability
• Shorter feedback cycles identify issues earlier
• Smaller batches reduce risk and improve flow
• Increased transparency shows real progress

"SAFe enables hospitals to coordinate multiple digital initiatives simultaneously without losing control or creating dependency gridlock."
