Legal Executives New Zealand 12 Spring 2026 “After initially not taking advice, external SAFe expertise proved valuable (skills were brought in to work with the team, not tell the team what to do). This involved considerable effort training and certifying staff in SAFe practices.” The review identified important factors such as including working in small teams; tight and transparent forecasting, planning and reporting systems; and initial wins. LINZ said that the early delivery of Search and Notices products had put runs on the board and built credibility with customers, creating confidence in LINZ's ability to deliver using SAFe. Customer engagement had been important, with a strongly supportive user community being backed by an active engagement team, working groups and survey and legal engagement consultants. “Feedback loops were readily accessible, and customers were able to migrate at their pace.” The paper said that the business case for the project had been finalised after years of preparation, and it provided clear direction throughout the implementation period. Having a stable and worldclass legacy platform that customers trusted provided a fallback position and allowed LINZ to do small rollouts of new functionality, allowing for incremental delivery of the new system. Another factor identified as crucial to the successful completion of the project was locating the Survey and Title Enhancement Programme within the LINZ Digital Delivery Group. This meant that the implementation team had access to the on-site developers responsible for the maintenance and support of the legacy platform. There had been a strong focus on security, and ensuring that test automation paralleled software development had been critical to achieving speedy delivery of software. ...Continued from page 11 Work continues Although the modernising Landonline project has been completed, work continues on a range of other developments.
