After the 2025 SAFe Summit in Sorrento, Italy, Renaud Granier, an SPCT candidate and SAFe expert for Accenture, discusses with Henrik Gruber the organization form called network of ARTs. Renaud points out how, as companies grow to achieve economies of scale, dependencies levy a heavy tax on those efficiencies. This dilemma is marked by exponential communication complexity and conflicting priorities between agile teams. For Renaud, strategies such as value stream identification, lean portfolio management and using enterprise-grade work management tooling can help mitigate the dilemma and manage the complexity.
