Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) integrated within the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) represents a powerful enabler for achieving the strategic objectives of Saudi Vision 2030. This article examines how AI enhances SAFe practices by fostering innovation, automating repetitive processes, and enhancing decision-making across complex, large-scale initiatives. By leveraging AI’s capabilities, organizations can improve sprint planning, risk management, and backlog prioritization, while enabling data-driven insights to guide strategic choices. The discussion highlights practical applications in key areas of Vision 2030, such as smart city development, healthcare transformation, educational reform, and financial innovation. By combining SAFe’s collaborative and iterative approach with AI-driven solutions, this integration accelerates progress toward Vision 2030’s goals, positioning Saudi Arabia as a global leader in innovation, sustainability, and technology-enabled decision-making.
