SNEI is experiencing growing pains. As the organization has expanded, they have recently adopted a framework known as SAFe (Scaled Agile). This has helped to facilitate collaboration between teams; however, it has come at a substantial cost. Many engineering teams have been forced to designate dual role responsibilities for developers and QA engineers to fill the SAFe roles (Scrum Master and Product Owner). This sort of work would ideally be done by Program or Product Managers and is not optimal for someone that wants to focus on engineering duties.

Take a hard look at the impact SAFE is having on engineering teams. Consider hiring more PMs to fill the roles of SM or PO for multiple engineering teams, letting the engineers focus on what they are good at.
