SAFE AGILE 4.0 FOR TEAMS
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
Architectural Runway ANSW✅✅Consists of the existing code, components and technical
infrastructure necessary to support implementation of high priority, near-term features, without
excessive delay and redesign.
Budgets ANSW✅✅A set of practices that fund and empower value streams, while maintaining
financial and fitness-for-use governance through objective evaluations of working systems, and
dynamic budget adjustments.
Built-In Quality ANSW✅✅Practices ensure that each solution element, at every increment, meets
appropriate quality standards throughout development.
Business Owners ANSW✅✅A small group of stakeholders who have the primary technical, fitness
for use, governance and Return on Investment (ROI) responsibility for a solution developed by an
Agile Release Train (ART). They are key stakeholders on the ART and actively participate in certain
events.
Agile Architecture ANSW✅✅A set of values and practices that advances the design and
architecture of a system while implementing new business functions
Agile Release Train ANSW✅✅A long-lived team-of-Agile-teams, which along with other
stakeholders, develops and delivers solutions incrementally, using a series of fixed iterations within a
program increment timebox. Aligns teams to a common business and technology mission.
Agile Team ANSW✅✅A group of three to nine dedicated individual contributors, covering all the
roles necessary to define, build and test a quality increment of value in an iteration.
Capability ANSW✅✅A high-level solution behavior that typically spans multiple Agile Release
Trains (ARTs). They are sized and split as necessary to fit within a single program increment.
CapEx and OpEx ANSW✅✅Describe Lean-Agile financial practices for tracking capital expenses
(CapEx), and operating expenses (OpEx) in a value stream budget. In some cases, CapEx may include
, capitalized labor associated with development of intangible assets such as software, intellectual
property and patents.
Communities of Practice ANSW✅✅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 performance and advance the general knowledge of domain.
Continuous Integration ANSW✅✅A built-in quality practice, where team members constantly
integrate and verify their work, using automated build-and-test environment that quickly identify
problems and defects.
Coordination ANSW✅✅Provides guidance for managing dependencies across value streams in a
portfolio.
Core Values ANSW✅✅Define the ideals and beliefs that are key to SAFe's effectiveness. They are:
alignment, built-in quality, transparency and program execution.
Customer ANSW✅✅Anyone who consumes the work of a value stream. They are an integral part
of the agile development process and value stream.
Develop on Cadence ANSW✅✅A strategy for managing the inherent variability in solution
development, by making sure important events and activities on a regular, predictable schedule.
DevOps ANSW✅✅A mindset, culture, and set of technical practices that foster communication,
collaboration, and close cooperation among all the professionals needed to develop, test, deploy,
and maintain a solution.
Economic Framework ANSW✅✅A set of decision rules aligning everyone to the financial
objectives of the mission, defines economic tradeoff parameters, and assures operation within the
budget provided by program portfolio management.
Enablers ANSW✅✅Further the exploration, infrastructure, and architecture development
activities needed to support future business functionality. Arise from the backlog and occur at all
levels of the framework where they are described as enabler portfolio epics, enabler capabilities,
enabler features, or enabler stories.
