27
Q

What is the 10th SAFe Lean-Agile Principle?

A

slide 61

28
Q

what is PDCA?

A

The iterative learning cycle

Plan Do Check Act

slide 78

29
Q

What is the iterative learning cycle?

A

PDCA - Plan Do Check Act

slide 78

30
Q

What is the problem of phase-gate milestones?

A

they force design decisions too early, which encourages false-positive feasibility

they assume a point solution exists and can be built correctly the first time

they create huge batches and long queue, and they centralize requirements and design is program management

slide 82

31
Q

With regards to solution economic trade-offs, if you only quantify one thing, what should it be?

A

the cost of delay

slide 68

32
Q

What are the trade-off parameters for the solution economic trade-offs?

A

lead time
production cost
value
development expense

and risk

slide 68

33
Q

What should you focus on when optimizing the full value stream?

A

the delays

slide 72

34
Q

In order to preserve options, what approach should you use?

A

Set based approach

slide 78

35
Q

Explain Program Increment (PI) System Demos

A

are orchestrated to deliver objective progress, product, and process metrics

slide 84

36
Q

What do objective milestones facilitate?

A

learning and allow for continuous, cost-effective adjustments towards an optimum Solution

slide 85

37
Q

List some of the reasons it is important to use small batch sizes.

A

Large batch sizes increase variability
High utilization increase variability
severe project slippage is the most likely result
small batches go through the system faster with lower variability
the most important batch is the handoff batch

slide 93

38
Q

How do you find the optimal batch size?

A

determine the lowest point of the u-curve for holding costs and transaction cost

slide 94

39
Q

What does reducing batch size do?

A

increases predictability
accelerates feedback
reduces rework
lowers cost

slide 95

40
Q

What is the formula for little’s law?

A

Average wait time = average queue length / average processing rate

slide 98

41
Q

What does Little’s law state?

A

faster processing time decreases wait
shorter queue lengths decrease wait

slide 98

42
Q

Describe cadence

A

converts unpredictable events into predictable occurrences and lowers cost

slide 100

43
Q

Describe synchronization

A

causes multiple events to happen simultaneously

slide 100

44
Q

Can you have cadence without synchronization?

A

no

slide 101

45
Q

How can you limit variability to a single interval?

A

cadence-based planning

slide 103

46
Q

Who is the most qualified to make decision about how workers perform their work?

A

the workers

slide 106

47
Q

What is autonomy?

A

the desire to be self-directing and have control over what we work on, how we do our work, and who we work with

slide 107

48
Q

What is mastery?

A

the urge to get better at what we do and improve our personal and team skills

slide 107

49
Q

What is purpose?

A

the desire to do something that matters and has meaning

slide 107

50
Q

What is a value stream?

A

the sequence of steps used to deliver value to the Customer
