SAFe Principles Flashcards
(34 cards)
What are the SAFe Principles
T A A B B M A U D O
Safe principles will guide teams on the path to the goal of the lean, which is
Shortest sustainable lead time, with best quality and value to people and society
Economics should inform and drive decisions at …… Levels
All
Portfolio to Agile teams
….. inform the oversight and governance that Guide on going spending decisions to support these higher level budgets
Budget Guardrails
four key components of SAFe’s economic framework:
Operating within lean budgets and guardrails
Understanding solution economic trade-offs
Leveraging suppliers
Sequencing jobs for the maximum benefit
,…… Define the boundaries within which solution train and art leaders make decisions on the definition, scope and sequence of epics capabilities and features
Budgets and guardrails
………. is the mechanism for gaining faster feedback and controlling the variability of solution development
The plan-do-check-adjust (PDCA) cycle
the iterative learning cycle
The plan-do-check-adjust (PDCA) cycle is also called
The iterative learning cycle
………….. reduce the cost of risk-taking by truncating unsuccessful paths quickly
Shorter PDCA Cycles
Integrations points benefits
Accelerate learning
Control Product Development
demonstrates evidence of the feasibility of the solution under development
Reduce Risk
Any lack of integration points creates ………..
a false sense of security.
………. occurs when there is a smooth, linear, and fast movement of work product from step to step in a relevant value stream
Flow
Each integration point delivers its value by converting ………. into knowledge:
uncertainty
Which Flow accelerator can address confusion in priorities, frequent context switching, and increase in overhead.
WIP Limit
What are the 2 WIP corrective actions
Make the current WIP visible to all stakeholders
Balance the amount of WIP against the available development capacity
Which flow inhibitor limits the effective throughput of value
Bottlenecks
What causes the value stream to operate slowly and uneconomically, far below its potential capacity
Bottlenecks
Activities like value stream mapping, retros, and the I&A problem-solving workshop can help identify the root causes and potential solutions for which flow inhibitor?
Handoffs and Dependencies
The best solution to overcome …………. is to create teams and ARTs with all the knowledge, resources, skills, and decision-making authority to create an end-to-end flow of value
handoffs and dependencies
2 types pf feedback collected by PDCA cycle
Feedback about building the right thing
Feedback about building it right
The cost for delayed feedback, inventory decay, delayed value delivery
Holding cost
the cost of preparing and implementing the batch
Transaction cost
The economically optimal batch size depends on the …….. and ……. cost
Holding cost and Transactional cost
a leadership and technical discipline that enables the maximum flow of business value through the end-to-end solution delivery life cycle.
Value stream management
