Using Loom for SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework)
Fastest way to communicate complex ideas asynchronously — record screen + camera in seconds with zero setup. When combined with SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework), this makes Loom a strong candidate for teams who want a structured, repeatable workflow without sacrificing flexibility. SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) works best in Loom when you leverage its core workflow features to implement the framework's key practices directly in the tool your team already lives in.
SAFe coordinates multiple Agile teams across a programme increment (PI) — typically 8–12 weeks — with shared objectives, dependencies, and a PI planning ceremony.
How to set up SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) in Loom
Configure portfolio and programme levels
In Loom, simulate the SAFe hierarchy using nested projects or a parent-child relationship: Portfolio (top-level workspace) → Programme (projects) → Team (sub-projects).
Set up the Programme Increment (PI) structure
Create a milestone or version representing the PI boundary. Use a dedicated board or timeline view to map Features to sprints within the PI. Before PI planning, export a draft PI view for the planning ceremony.
Model dependencies and risks
Create a dependency register — a dedicated list in Loom where each item represents a cross-team dependency, including: provider team, consumer team, what's needed, and target sprint. Review this in PI planning.
Set up PI Objectives and tracking
Create a PI Objectives board in Loom with a card per objective. Each card tracks the committed business value (1–10 scale), actual delivered value, and stretch objectives. Review at the System Demo every sprint.
