Combine Agile, Lean, Quality Management, and Operational Excellence, and you get the Stable Framework(TM), a lightweight quality framework for IT. Focusing on continuous-improvement, kaizen, and certificate-based workflows, the Stable Framework(TM) can be applied to traditional project management, Hybrid projects, Scrum, SAFe, Disciplined Agile, or it can work standalone in a DevOps, Operations, Implementation, or a Development environment. Applying the Stable Framework(TM) reclaims momentum lost to the Hidden Factory in IT caused by errors, problems, bottlenecks, and confusion. The Stable Framework(TM) is the next natural evolution in the development, deployment, and servicing of Information Technology solutions. 1.29
