COMPREHSNIVE EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
SURE A+
✔✔SAFe Program Consultants (SPC) - ✔✔Change agents who combine their technical
knowledge of SAFe with an intrinsic motivation to improve their company's software and
systems development processes. They play a critical role in successfully implementing
SAFe, and are now represented as part of the SAFe Foundation. They compe from
numerous internal or external roles, including business and technology leaders,
portfolio/program/project managers, process leads, architects, analysts, and
consultants.
✔✔Scrum Master - ✔✔Servant leaders and coaches for an Agile Team. They help
educate the team in Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), Kanban, and SAFe, ensuring
that the agreed Agile process is being followed. They also help remove impediments
and foster and environment for high-performing team dynamics, continuous flow, and
relentless improvement.
✔✔ScrumXP - ✔✔A lightweight process for cross-functional, self-organized teams to
deliver value within the context of SAFe. Combines the power of Scrum project
management practices with extreme programming technical practices.
✔✔Set-Based Design - ✔✔A practice that keeps requirements and design options
flexible for as long as possible during the development process. Instead of teams
choosing a single point solution upfront, set-based design identifies and simultaneously
explores multiple options and eliminate poorer choices over time. It enhances flexibility
in the design process, commits to technical solutions only after validating assumptions,
and produces better economic outcomes.
, ✔✔Shared Services - ✔✔Represents the specialty roles, people, and services that are
necessary for the success of an Agile Release Train (ART) or Solution Train but that
cannot be dedicated full-time.
✔✔Solution - ✔✔Each Value Stream produces one or more Solutions, which are
products, services, or systems delivered to the Customer, whether internal or external to
the enterprise.
✔✔Solution Architect/Engineer - ✔✔The role that represents an individual or small team
that defines a common technical and architectural vision for the Solution under
development. They participate in defining the system, subsystems, and interfaces;
validate technology assumptions; and evaluate alternatives. They help align the
Solution Train and the Agile Release Train (ART) to a common technological and
architectural vision.
✔✔Solution Backlog - ✔✔The holding area for upcoming Capabilities and solution
Enablers, each of which can span multiple ARTs and is intended to advance the
Solution and Build its architectural runway.
✔✔Solution Context - ✔✔Identifies critical aspects of the operational environment for a
Solution. It provides an essential understating of requirements, usage, installation,
operation, and support of the solution itself. Also heavily influences opportunities and
constraints for Release on Demand.
✔✔Solution Demo - ✔✔Where the results of development efforts from the Solution
Train (e.g. multiple Agile Release Trains (ARTs) and the contributions from Suppliers)
are integrated, evaluated, and made visible to customers and other stakeholders.
✔✔Solution Kanban - ✔✔Method used to visualize and manage the flow of value from
ideation to analysis, implementation, and release. Supports the flow of features and
capabilities through the full Continuous Delivery Pipeline of Continuous Exploration,
Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment, and Release on Demand.
✔✔Solution Management - ✔✔The role that has content authority for the Solution
Backlog. They work with Customers to understand their needs, create the Solution
vision and Roadmap, define requirements, and guide work through the Solution
Kanban.
✔✔Solution Train - ✔✔The SAFe organizational construct used to build large and
complex Solutions that require the coordination of multiple Agile Release Trains (ARTs),
as well as the contributions of Suppliers. Aligns ARTs to a shared business and
technology mission using a common Solution Vision, Backlog and Roadmap, and an
aligned Program Increment (PI) cadence.
