2022 SAFe® Summit Presentation | Epic Owners: The Key to Strategic Unification

Epic Owners are generally thought of as the shepherds of Portfolio Kanban Epics but that is only the tip of the iceberg. As Epics are some of the most significant enterprise investments, Epic Owners play a key role in coordinating parts of the organizational hierarchy so they have a conjoined understanding of the strategic intent of an Epic. But how do we ensure we are unlocking the benefits of this role and avoiding anti-patterns?
In this presentation from SAFe Fellow, SPCT, and ICON Coach Charlene Cuenca, you will learn more about applying Epic Ownership based on pragmatic experience.

Key Objectives:
The role of the Epic Owner – who they are, what they enable, and where they come from
How Epic Owners unify strategic intent by coordinating throughout the organizational hierarchy
How Epic Owners enable end-to-end Portfolio Kanban flow using the Lean Startup cycle
How to spot and avoid Epic Owner anti-patterns

Presented at the 2022 In-Person SAFe® Summit on Aug. 24th, 2022.
