To that aim, Scaled Agile will continue to update old articles and add new ones to reflect the latest understanding of best practises in Lean Agile at scale from the SAFe community and practitioners.

When a significantly updated version of the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®) is issued, it is referred to as an upgrade. This is usually indicated by an increase in the major version number (e.g. 4 to 5).

 

Updates are minor updates to an existing version of the Framework that do not necessitate an upgrade. If you already hold the most up-to-date certification available, you won’t need to retest, and you won’t need to upgrade.

 

The change from SAFe 5 to 5.1 is an update, not an upgrade.
