Is SafeDevOps a SAFe implementation platform?

Yes. SafeDevOps is a SAFe® implementation platform that helps you plan PIs, manage ARTs, track epics/features/stories, and coordinate SAFe events and roles in one place.

Does SafeDevOps replace CI/CD tools like Jenkins or GitLab?

No. SafeDevOps coordinates the SAFe process and connects strategy to delivery. Your CI/CD tools still run builds and deployments; SafeDevOps provides planning, tracking, and visibility.

How do I start implementing SAFe with SafeDevOps?

Create your organization, set up Agile Release Trains (ARTs), plan your first Program Increment (PI), and begin tracking epics, features, and stories. The documentation guides you step‑by‑step.

Getting Started with Safedevops.app

Welcome! This guide provides a clear path for new users to get up and running on the Safedevops.app platform. Follow these essential first steps to create your account and set up your first organization.

Platform Purpose: Safedevops is a SAFe methodology management platform that coordinates teams, tracks work items, and manages the conceptual CI/CD pipeline flow. It integrates with external CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps) for actual technical implementation while providing SAFe process coordination and visibility.

Your First Steps on the Platform

To begin using Safedevops.app, you'll need to complete two primary actions. Each step has a detailed guide to walk you through the process.

Step 1: Register Your User Account
The first and most important step is to create your personal user account. This account will serve as your identity across all organizations you join or create on the platform.

For a detailed walkthrough, please see the registration guide:
→ How to Register for the Safedevops App

Step 2: Create Your First Organization
Once your user account is registered and verified, you are ready to create an organization. An organization is the collaborative workspace where your teams will manage Agile Release Trains (ARTs), track work items, and execute your SAFe® pipeline.

Follow the step-by-step instructions in the organization creation guide:

Step 3: Set Up Your First Agile Release Train (ART)
The Agile Release Train is the backbone of value delivery in SAFe®. Once your organization is created, the next logical step is to define your first ART.
