However, implementing SAFe with all its features such as providing reports, visualizing dependencies and automated documentation is not always easy in reality. Many companies spend a lot of time and money searching for the right…N/A

    //SEIBERT/MEDIA
    Agile Hive is used for our value train
    within a SAFe setup. Every quarter we organize a so-called Product Increment
    (PI) Planning, where we plan all Features and Enablers in Agile Hive.
    Based on the priority of the Product Manager all teams plan their Features and
    Enablers accordingly to the sprints that are determined by the Release Train
    Engineer and set up in Agile Hive. The teams then create User Stories and
    estimate them and based on their sprint velocity (defined in Agile Hive)
    Product Owners can see how many Features and Enablers are realistic in one
    quarter (Product Increment). Further, dependencies across teams can be defined
    and made visible in Agile Hive, so that the plan is feasible. Without Agile
    Hive it would be hard or impossible to plan across several teams within a value
    train and to manage all dependencies. Additionally, with Agile Hive the plan is
    more realistic, so what can be achieved within one quarter in product
    development.

    GitLab is good if you work a lot with code and do complex repository actions. It gives you a very good overview of what were the states of your branches and the files in them at different stages in time. It's also way easier and more efficient to write pipelines for CI\CD. It's easier to read and it's easier to write them. It takes fewer clicks to achieve the same things with GitLab than it does for competitor products.

    • Showing dependencies within teams and across teams and over time horizon.
    • Create transparency throughout the product organization and teams about what is planned.

    Cons
    //SEIBERT/MEDIA
    • I believe the training and support could be more hands on and easier.
    • The Agile Hive - SAFe in Jira product can be a bit robust to understand.
    • Having Knowledge transfer videos can help more than documentations.

    • CI variables management is sometimes hard to use, for example, with File type variables. The scope of each variable is also hard to guess.
    • Access Token: there are too many types (Personal, Project, global..), and it is hard to identify the scope and where it comes from once created.
    • Runners: auto-scaled runners are for the moment hard to put in place, and monitoring is not easy.

    I really feel the platform has matured quite faster than others, and it is always at the top of its game compared to the different vendors like GitHub, Azure pipelines, CircleCI, Travis, Jenkins. Since it provides, agents, CI/CD, repository hosting, Secrets management, user management, and Single Sign on; among other features

    Usability
    //SEIBERT/MEDIA
    It has in general a good usability, but there are some downsides, the big picture view of the entire product increment is too static, so there is no zoom in or zoom out. Mostly throughout planning it is necessary to zoom in to a sprint level and manage the user stories there. Also, the pig picture view has some limitations, because you cannot read the entire user story name (boxes are too small).

    I find it easy to use, I haven't had to do the integration work, so that's why it is a 9/10, cause I can't speak to how easy that part was or the initial set up, but day to day use is great!

    I've never had experienced outages from GItlab itself, but regarding the code I have deployed to Gitlab, the history helps a lot to trace the cause of the issue or performing a rollback to go back to a working version

    At this point, I do not have much experience with Gitlab support as I have never had to engage them. They have documentation that is helpful, not quite as extensive as other documentation, but helpful nonetheless. They also seem to be relatively responsive on social media platforms (twitter) and really thrived when GitHub was acquired by Microsoft

    Alternatives Considered
    //SEIBERT/MEDIA
    With Jira Software alone it is also possible to plan a SAFe product increment planning, but it would be nearly impossible to see the overall big picture of all product teams involved in a release train. So, the planning on sprint level for one team would be more efficient, but the planning for a whole quarter with all dependencies across teams would be not feasible to present. Therefore, Agile SAFe enables value trains an efficient way to plan a product increment.

    Gitlab seems more cutting-edge than GitHub; however, its AI tools are not yet as mature as those of CoPilot. It feels like the next-generation product, so as we selected a tool for our startup, we decided to invest in the disruptor in the space. While there are fewer out-of-the-box templates for Gitlab, we have never discovered a lack of feature parity.
