SAFE APM CH. 7 exam review 2024
Kanban summarized - ► Visual tool for monitoring and managing workflow
► Columns represent steps in the work process
► Work items (Features, Enablers, Stories) are 'pulled' across the board as
capacity allows
► Explicit process policies define how and when a work item moves across the
board
► Work in process (WIP) promotes flow and the continuous delivery of value
4 Kanban Systems in SAFE - Portfolio Kanban (Epic/Enabler)
Solution Kanban (Epic/Enabler and Capacity/Enabler)
Program Kanban (Epic/Enabler and Feature/Enabler)
Team Kanban (Story/Enabler and Story)
Program Kanban components - Facilitates flow through pipeline:
funnel
analyzing
backlog
implementing
validating
deploying to production

done
Prioritizing Program Kanban - WSJF (weighted shortest job first) first step to
leverage is Backlog
Steps to estimating (EPIC) - 1. Features are estimated in Story Points (by PM and
System Architect))
2. Aggregated back to Epic for lightweight business case
4 Phases of Portfolio Kanban - continuous exploration
continuous integration
continuous deployment
Release on demand
How do facilitate economically driven prioritizaton - WSJF requires estimates and
forecasts of work
How to Estimate collection of features (level 1) - Need System architect, PM, RTE
