Comparison to other Agile Frameworks

  • Flight levels is neither vague nor overly prescriptive.
  • Unlike many Agile frameworks, Flight levels can be used by the entire company—it is non-IT specific.
  • Flight Levels happily co-exists with Scrum and/or Kanban, as well as LeSS or Nexus.
  • Flight Levels is relatively simple to learn.
  • Flight Levels do not require specialized tools. Physical whiteboards, digital whiteboards, or Agile lifecycle management tools work well.
  • Flight Levels can be used as an effective and accelerated way to introduce the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe).

Flight Levels Thinking Model

The Flight levels thinking model is a way of thinking and a way of understanding the organization that enables us to understand where in the organization we need to do what in order to achieve the results we are looking for. We want to understand how that change is going to map to some sort of substantive improvement and try to find the smallest possible thing to change in order to have the effect we are looking for. We do this by using five activities across three levels.
  • Visualize your Situation: What hinders and enables flow across your teams?
  • Create focus: Figure out what to focus on first, and how to decide for the future.
  • Establish agile interactions: Connect the appropriate people to the right topics, at the right time.
  • Measure the progress: Decide and Define how you will gauge improvement.
  • Operate and Collaboration Improve: Put what you are learning into action and use it to continuously improve.

  • Leadership
