Update 2024-2025
DevOps - ANSWER Approach to bridge the gap between development and operations to
deliver faster and more reliably.
- Is in the Value Stream
- Only occurs when end users are operating the solution
- Isn't optional; only question is how effective it is
Release on Demand - ANSWER Section of Continuous Delivery Pipeline whose business
objective = Value and is broken down into the following domains: Release, Stabilize,
Measure, and Learn
The process by which features deployed into production are released incrementally
or immediately to Customers based on market demand.
CALMR approach to DevOps - ANSWER - Culture: Establish and culture of shared responsibility
for development, deployment and operations
- Automation: Automate the Continuous Delivery Pipeline
- Lean flow: Keep batch size small, limit WIP, and provide extreme visibility
- Measurement: Measure the flow through the pipeline. Implement application telemetry
, - Recovery: Architect and enable low-risk releases. Establish fast recovery, fast reversion, and
fast fix-forward.
**IMPLEMENTED IN REVERSE
Benefit Hypothesis - ANSWER Justifies feature implementation cost and provides
business perspective when making scope decisions
Feature - ANSWER Object
- Component of an Epic
- Has a Benefit Hypothesis
- Has Acceptance Criteria
- Reflects functional and non-functional requirements
- Fits in one PI
Job Sequencing - ANSWER Prioritizing based on lean economics using Cost of Delay (CoD) and
cost to implement
Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) - ANSWER A prioritization model used to sequence jobs
(e.g., Features, Capabilities, and Epics) to produce maximum economic benefit. In SAFe, it
is estimated as the cost of delay divided by job size.
Cost of Delay - ANSWER User & Business Value + Time criticality + Risk Reduction &
Opportunity Enablement.
This is the numerator for WSJF
Hypothesize - ANSWER Activity of Continuous Exploration.
