ACCURATE!!
Agile Architecture - ANSWER-Agile Architecture is a set of values and practices
that support the active evolution of the design and architecture of a system while
implementing new system capabilities
Agile Release Train (ART) - ANSWER-The Agile Release Train (ART) is a long-lived
team of Agile teams, which, along with other stakeholders, develops and delivers
solutions incrementally, using a series of fixed-length Iterations within a Program
Increment (PI) timebox. The ART aligns teams to a common business and
technology mission.
Agile Team - ANSWER-The SAFe Agile Team is a cross-functional group of 5 to 10
people who have the ability and authority to define, build, and test some element of
Solution value—all in a short Iteration timebox. Specifically, the SAFe Agile Team
incorporates the DevTeam, Scrum Master, and Product Owner roles.
Architectural Runway - ANSWER-The Architectural Runway consists of the existing
code, components, and technical infrastructure needed to implement near-term
features without excessive redesign and delay.
,Built-In Quality - ANSWER-Built-In Quality practices ensure that each Solution
element, at every increment, meets appropriate quality standards throughout
development.
Business Owners - ANSWER-Business Owners are a small group of stakeholders
who have the primary business and technical responsibility for governance,
compliance, and return on investment (ROI) for a Solution developed by an Agile
Release Train (ART). They are key stakeholders on the ART who must evaluate
fitness for use and actively participate in certain ART events.
CapEx and OpEx - ANSWER-Capital Expenses (CapEx) and Operating Expenses
(OpEx) describe Lean-Agile financial accounting practices in a Value Stream
budget. In some cases, CapEx may include capitalized labor associated with the
development of intangible assets—such as software, intellectual property, and
patents.
Capabilities - ANSWER-A Capability is a higher-level solution behavior that typically
spans multiple ARTs. Capabilities are sized and split into multiple features to
facilitate their implementation in a single PI.
Communities of Practice (CoPs) - ANSWER-Communities of Practice (CoPs) are
organized groups of people who have a common interest in a specific technical or
business domain. They collaborate regularly to share information, improve their
skills, and actively work on advancing the general knowledge of the domain.
,Compliance - ANSWER-Compliance refers to a strategy and a set of activities and
artifacts that allow teams to apply Lean-Agile development methods to build
systems that have the highest possible quality, while simultaneously assuring they
meet any regulatory, industry, or other relevant standards.
Continuous Delivery Pipeline - ANSWER-The Continuous Delivery (CD) Pipeline (also
referred to as 'pipeline') represents the workflows, activities, and automation
needed to provide a continuous release of value to the end user.
Continuous Deployment (CD) - ANSWER-Continuous Deployment (CD) is the
process that takes validated Features from Continuous Integration and deploys
them into the production environment, where they are tested and readied for
release. It is is the third element in the four-part Continuous Delivery Pipeline of
Continuous Exploration (CE), Continuous Integration (CI), Continuous Deployment,
and Release on Demand.
Continuous Exploration (CE) - ANSWER-Continuous Exploration (CE) is the process
of continually exploring the market and user needs, and defining a Vision,
Roadmap, and set of Features that address those needs. It's the first element in
the four-part Continuous Delivery Pipeline, preceding Continuous Integration (CI)
Continuous Deployment (CD), and Release on Demand.
Continuous Integration (CI) - ANSWER-Continuous Integration (CI) is the process
of taking features from the Program Backlog and developing, testing, integrating,
, and validating them in a staging environment where they are ready for
deployment and release.
SAFe Lean-Agile Principle #1 - Take an economic view - ANSWER-highlights the key
role of economics in successful solution development. This article describes the
primary aspects of taking an economic view, delivering early and often, and
understanding other economic trade-off restrictions.
Economic framework decision rules - ANSWER-a set of decision rules aligning
everyone to the mission and its financial constraints. That includes budget
considerations driven by the program portfolio, as well as trade-offs that affect a
particular solution. In this context, portfolio fiduciaries can delegate decision
authority to others, knowing that those decisions will align with the agreed-to
economic guidelines.
Three elements of the primary purpose of the economic framework - ANSWER-The
primary purpose of the economic framework is to support effective, fast decision-
making within the bounds of the larger economic picture. In turn, that requires
three things: •An understanding of the rules for decision-making; •The current
local context; •Relevant decision-making authority
Epic Funding and Governance - ANSWER-Empowered funding requires the parallel
responsibility to communicate any investments that are unexpected. This is the
primary purpose of the Portfolio Kanban System. Each epic requires a Lean
