The ServiceNow®
Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) applications help you to manage strategic and operational work all from one place by using lean and agile principles. Various SAFe applications are planned for deprecation in the Xanadu release.

## Deprecations {#scaled-agile-framework-rn__scaled-agile-framework-rn-deprecations}

The following SAFe-related plugins are planned for deprecation and can no longer be deployed for new activation. However, existing users can continue to use them.

* Essential SAFe (com.snc.sdlc.safe)
* Portfolio SAFe (com.snc.sdlc.portfolio_safe)
* Performance Analytics Content Pack for Essential SAFe (com.sn_safe_dashboards)
* Work Progress Status for SAFe (com.sn_safe_progress)
* Agile - Scaled Agile Framework - Unified Backlog (com.snc.sdlc.safe.multi_task)
* Read-only roles for SAFeFor more information on the deprecation process and its impact, see the [Application/Plugin Deprecation Process \[KB0867184\]](https://support.servicenow.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0867184) article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.

{#scaled-agile-framework-rn__ul_dqz_sxq_lbc}As an alternative, you can use the Enterprise Agile Planning (EAP) capability within the Strategic Planning application, which provides SAFe features with flexible team and work hierarchy configurations. With an interactive workspace experience, EAP helps you to streamline communication and collaboration between your teams.
