Scaled Agile Framework / SAFe Scrum
Master Certification Prep (SSM)
1. job sequencing: the key to economic outcomes
2. WSJF: weighted shortest job first
3. How do you calculate WSJF?: WSJF = CoD (estimated value) /
Duration (time to ship or Job Size)
4. RR: risk reduction
5. OE: opportunity enablement
6. How to calculate CoD?: CoD = User-business value + Time criticality
+ RR & OE value / Job Size or "Duration"
7. PI: program increment
8. NFR: non functional requirement
9. 3 Pillars of Scrum: transparency, inspection, adaptation
10.Scrum values make these things transparent:: process, workflow,
progress
11.The 5 SAFe Scrum Values are...: courage, focus, openness,
commitment, respect
12.SAFe Iteration length: 2-4 weeks
13. Team composition does not change during an Iteration, otherwise the
, is invalid.: velocity
14.product owner: owns, prioritizes and manages the TEAM backlog
15.team increment: a thin vertical slice of functionality
16.Three roles in Agile teams: scrum master, product owner,
development team
17.Typical development team size in Scrum: 3-9 excluding the scrum
master and product owner
18.The promise of SAFe: Synchronizes alignment, collaboration, and
delivery for large numbers of teams
19.4 core values of SAFe: built-in quality, program execution,
alignment, trans- parency
20.9 SAFe Lean-Agile principles: 1. take an economic view
2. apply systems thinking
3. assume variability; preserve options
4. build incrementally with fast, integrated learning cycles
5. base milestones on objective evaluation of working systems
6. visualize and limit WIP, reduce batch sizes, and manage queue
lengths
7. apply cadence, synchronize with cross domain planning
, 8. unlock the intrinsic motivation of knowledge workers
9. decentralize decision making
21.Agile Release Train: a virtual organization of 5-12 teams (50-125+)
that plans, commits, and executes together
22.program increment duration: a fixed timebox with a default of 10
weeks.
23.RTE role: acts as chief scrum master for the train
24.product manager: owns, defines, and prioritizes the PROGRAM
backlog
25.system architect/engineer: provides architectural guidance and
technical en- ablement to the teams on the train
26.business owners: key stakeholders on the agile release train
27.4 program events: PI
planning ART sync
System Demo
Inspect and Adapt event
28.PI planning timebox: 2 days
29.art sync timebox: 1 hour
30.system demo timebox: 2 hours
31.inspect and adapt event: the train reviews and improves its process
before the next PI
32.pdca: plan, do, check, act
