We were transitioning from waterfall to SAFE, and a lot of senior engineers were resistant. They'd been in waterfall for 15 years and SAFE felt chaotic to them. ‘How can we plan if we're committing to a PI every eight weeks?' I heard that concern repeatedly.
Rather than argue about SAFE's superiority, I ran a small pilot with one team that was more open-minded. We did PI Planning, delivered a PI increment, and then I invited the skeptical teams to see the results. They saw that we hit our commitments, quality didn't drop, and the team seemed less stressed because there were fewer surprises.
I also paired skeptical engineers with coaches during their first PI Planning. That personal guidance mattered—when someone explained why dependencies matter during PI Planning, it clicked differently than just reading about it.
Over two months, the resistance softened. Not everyone became a SAFE evangelist, but they accepted it and began to see benefits. We're now consistently hitting PI objectives at about 85% predictability, and people are sleeping better.
