SAFe Is Like A Huge Production Play

SAFe, The Nutcracker

In SAFe, just like a huge production play like 'The Nutcracker', each participant must know his/her role, know what he/she must do... and to do it well. The cast of 'The Nutcracker' know their role, they know what to do, and they do it very well... over and over again during their scheduled multiple performances over the Christmas holidays.
