Scaling agile development in complex environments requires more than just methodology—it demands an integration of culture, tools, processes, and people to deliver secure, resilient, and impactful solutions. At Synergy, we have spent over five years embedding Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) and DevSecOps practices across our portfolio to meet the evolving needs of federal agencies and their critical missions.
Successfully implementing DevSecOps within scaled agile environments requires a cultural shift in how development services are managed and delivered. Synergy has fostered this shift by prioritizing collaboration, transparency, and iterative feedback loops between development teams and stakeholders. This ensures alignment between evolving technical capabilities and business objectives.
Synergy’s proprietary Nautilus CI/CD pipeline framework is designed to streamline development and enable continuous integration and delivery from the outset of each project. Nautilus provides built-in guardrails for infrastructure security, code quality, functional validation, and performance monitoring. These features allow us to consistently deliver secure, tested, and ready-to-use software.
Scaled agile development is more than completing sprints and user stories; it’s about delivering secure, functional, and validated software at every stage. By integrating DevSecOps tools and practices, Synergy ensures that our teams produce outcomes that meet stakeholder needs and withstand rigorous independent testing.
Agile success hinges on effective collaboration between development teams, architects, and stakeholders. At Synergy, we bridge bottoms-up requirements management with top-down architectural planning. Through iterative cycles and continuous engagement, we align technical decisions with strategic business goals, empowering teams to adapt to changing priorities while maintaining focus on mission-critical objectives.
Synergy’s expertise in SAFe and DevSecOps practices has driven impactful outcomes across numerous federal programs. At the U.S. Army, we introduced scaled agile development and achieved a successful go-live within the first seven months of engagement. This rapid execution capability exemplifies how our tailored frameworks and experienced teams deliver transformative results.
A cornerstone of agile methodologies is the focus on working software over documentation. At Synergy, we take this a step further by delivering working, tested, and secure software. Our approach not only accelerates time to mission but also ensures scalability, resilience, and performance in dynamic environments.
