The only way to be succesful with this type of things is to take into account that anything you use into your organization will impact the organization as a whole. Then you have to start all this with a "needs analysis" or "architecture analysis" to understand the impacts. I wrote an article that was published by the PMI. Hope it helps as a guide at least: https://www.projectmanagement.com/blog-pos...-right-solution Saving Changes...
When it comes to scaling agile frameworks, SAFe has the largest services, support and marketing engine and is quite comprehensive, but it is also fairly complicated and prescriptive even in its Essential configuration. Given that, it takes a high level of organizational discipline to adopt it successfully. Also, it requires that the organization has already achieved a level of repeatability with success using Scrum at an individual small team level.
I prefer the use of Disciplined Agile given that it is a process-decision making framework which can fit different contexts more flexibly than SAFe, LeSS, Nexus or other Scrum-based agile scaling variants. Within DA, you can then utilize the best elements of some of these other frameworks.
