Can the Next Experience of Demand Management be working with SAFe?

[VanyaChakarova]

Dear all,

Could you please advise whether we can proceed with the activation of the SPM Workspace and subsequently enable Demand Management and Playbooks, while continuing to operate fully in accordance with the SAFe methodology?

In addition, we would appreciate your guidance on whether the activation of Demand Management requires the Enterprise Agile Planning (EAP) module to be enabled as a mandatory dependency, or whether Demand Management can be implemented and utilized independently without activating EAP.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

Hi @VanyaChakarova 

Activating the Strategic Planning Workspace (SPW) does not impact your existing SAFe artifacts (such as Epics, Capabilities, Features, or Stories).

Hi @Tanushree Maiti, 

Does the activation of Demand Management require the Enterprise Agile Planning (EAP) module to be enabled as a mandatory dependency, or whether Demand Management can be implemented and utilized independently without activating EAP?
