Sometimes, a framework does not provide all of the answers needed to apply concepts in the real world. This is to be expected as a framework is a framework!

That said, a Tech Lead or Lead Engineer is a construct we have found to be a valuable addition to a technical agile team (e.g. software, firmware or hardware-centric team). We see this as the logical extension of the SAFe System Architect, in the same way that Product Owners are the team-level representation of Product Management. The benefits of including this role are two-fold: it provides a career path for developers and ensures technic ..read more
