SAFE AGILE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT APM
COMPREHENSIVE COURSE REVIEW
◉ Lean Goal.
Answer: Speed, quality, value. sustainably shorted lead time, best
quality and value to people and society, most customer delight,
lowest cost, high morale, safety
◉ Respect for People.
Answer: Lean principle, your customer is whoever consumes your
work. Develop individuals and teams, empower teams, build
partnerships based on trust and mutual respect
◉ Kaizen.
Answer: Lean principle,. We can do better.Reflection, continuous
improvement as an enterprise value
◉ Leadership.
Answer: Lean foundation, management is trained, take
responsibility, develop people
◉ Product development flow.
,Answer: Lean principle. 1. Take an economic view. 2. Actively
manage queues. 3. Understand and exploit variability. 4. Reduce
batch sizes. 5. Apply WIP constraints. 6. Control flow under
uncertainty; cadence and synchronization. 7. Get feedback as fast as
possible. 8. Decentralized control
◉ Take an economic view.
Answer: Lean principle of product development flow. #1. Base your
decisions on economics. The goal is to optimize the time from
concept to cash
◉ Actively manage queues.
Answer: Lean principle of product development flow. #2.
Understand Little's Law. Control wait times by controlling queue
lengths
◉ Understand and exploit variability.
Answer: Lean principle of product development flow. #3. Risk taking
is central to value creation
◉ Reduce Batch Size.
Answer: Lean principle of product development flow. #4. Smaller
batches go through the system faster, with lower variability and risk.
Large batch sizes and high utilization increase variability, causing
,project slippage. Co-location and good infrastructure enable small
batches
◉ Apply WIP constraints.
Answer: Lean principle of product development flow. #5. WIP
constraints force capacity matching, increases flow. Time box, purge
lower value projects when WIP is too high, constrain local WIP
pools, make WIP continuously visible. High WIP and utilization
cause reduction throughput
◉ Control flow under uncertainty.
Answer: Lean principle of product development flow. #6. Cadence +
Synchronization. Cadence transforms unpredictable events into
predictable events, requires scope or capacity margin, makes
waiting times predictable, helps manage load by limiting available
time. Regular systemwide integration provides higher fidelity tests
and objective solution assessment
◉ Get fast feedback.
Answer: Lean principle of product development flow. #7. Product
development is the process of converting uncertainty to knowledge.
Fast feedback accelerates knowledge
◉ Decentralized control.
, Answer: Lean principle of product development flow. #8. Centralize
control for decisions that are infrequent and can be applied globally,
have significant economies of scale or high-risk. Decentralized
control for time critical, local decisions
◉ Planning is for alignment.
Answer: Lean principle of product development flow. #9. There is
more value created with overall alignment than with local
excellence. Agile aims to change the plan when something changes
◉ Agile values: Individuals and interactions.
Answer: Over processes and tools
◉ Agile values: working software.
Answer: Over comprehensive documentation
◉ Agile values: customer collaboration.
Answer: Over contract negotiation
◉ Agile values: responding to change.
Answer: Over following a plan
◉ Agile drivers in the triangle..
