Scaled Agile Study guide 100% ACCURATE GRADE A+ GURANTEED

What are the four parts of the Agile Manifesto * individuals and iterations over tools and processes * customer collaboration over contract negotiation * responding to change over following a plan * working software over comprehensive documentation What are the six parts to the house of lean * Top: The goal: value * Respect People and cultures * flow * innovation * relentless improvement * Foundation: Lean-agile Leadership Tell me more about the Goal: value * Sustainable Shortest lead time * Best Quality and value to people and society * High morale, safety and customer delight Tell me about five elements of respect for culture and people 1) People do all the work 2) Your customer is whomever consumes your work: a) don't overload them, b) don't make them wait c) don't make them do wishfull thinking , d) don't force them to do wasteful work 3) Build long-term relationships built on trust 4) Culture change comes last not first 5) To change the culture, change the organization (wishful thinking when lack of integration and you don't know if thing are really working) What are the five elements of flow 1) Optimize continous and sustainable throughput of value 2) Build in quality, flow depends on it. 3) Avoid start-stop-start delays 4) Understand, exploit and manage variabiltiy 5) use informed decision making via fast feedback 6) 5 rules of innovation 1) Producers innovate, customers validate 2) Get out of the office 3) Provide time and space for creativity 4) Apply innovation accounting (metrics) 5) Pivot without mercy or guilt Relentless Improvement: What are 5 elements 1) a Constant sense of Danger (remember the competition) 2) Optimize the whole 3) Consider facts carefully, then move quickly 4) Apply lean tools to identify and address root causes 5) Reflect at key milestones, identify and address shortcomings What is the foundation of the house of lean. What are it's foundations * Management applies and teaches lean. THey are in charge of charge, they play an active part. what are the 9 SAFe principles ESVIM WC MD 1) Take the economic view 2) Apply system's 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 intrinsice motivation of knowledge workers 9) decentralize decision making. What are two parts of take the economic view 1) Deliver early and often 2) understand economic tradeoff paramaters (Rienertsen) What is Reinertsen's five pieces of understanding economic tradeoffs - also about economic framework 1) Development expense, cycle time (time it takes you to build), risk, value, cost (of materials). This is shown in a graphic where everything in interconnected. What are the four values of safe? Alignment built-in-quality transparency Program execution What are the six pieces of a portfolio Kanban Funnel (capture new ideas) Review (Where we do initial analysis of opportunity, effort, cost of delay) Analysis (Deeper work done here. Light weight business case, and more. We make a Yeah or Nay decision here.) Portfolio backlog (If yeah, then stay here until there is enough room in WIP) Implementation (do it! send it down into either program or value stream Kanban. The three Kanbans provide the decision of what work gets implemented when. ) Done (they are done when they have passed the success criteria) What kinds of enablers are there? Infrastructure, exploratory, Architecture What do epics at the various levels need to have? Portfolio Epic: lightweight business case and go through the Portfolio Kanban Capability and Feature e What is FAB? Features and Benefits Matrix. Unlike stories, features are described not in user story form (preferably) but as features and benefits. As many times features cut across multiple personas. What are two types of features business features and enabler features. Who owns the fiduciary, and strategic decision making at each level? Portfolio - The Program Portfolio management Value Stream - Solution Management Program - Product Management Team - Product Owner What are the various levels of Architects Portfolio - enterprise architect Value stream - Solution architect/engineer Program - System architect/engineer Team - team members (like team lead) What is the solution context and at what level does it apply? Basically, it is the environment in which the app lives within the customer's system. - Value Stream How do you calculate WSJF Weighted SHortest Job first WSJF=Cost of Delay CoD/Duration. Cost of Delay = User Business Value + Time Criticallity + Risk Reduction or Opportunity Enablement. We can use job size as a proxy for duration. TO further calcuate these. We put jobs under consideration in a table together. Then we figure out these values relative to the others. What does alignment mean. What is it's context Value of Safe. You align through all levels. Must be based on enterprise level business objectives. Cadence is aligned. Architecture, UI guides. What does Built in Quality mean? Where do you find it in the schema Value. Quality throughout. TDD, ATDD. Also in hardware. Also at system level integration. Crappy code, hardware , does not scale. What does transparency mean. What part of schema is it? Value. As in being transparent about where you are at, mistakes. As in showing WIP so everyone know where you are at. WHat does program execution mean> where do you find it in safe. Value. This seems to refer generally to the ability of people to execute and deliver value. Talks about different levels. What is Moore's Law Computing would increase in power and decrease in cost. Edward Deming Quote Edward Deming Major contributor to lean thought and Japanese rise after WWII. "It is not enough that management commit themselves to quality and productivity, they must know what it is they must do. Such a responsibility cannot be delegated." Safe Definition statement Safe is a freely revealed knowledge base of integrated, proven patters of enterprise Lean-agile development What do you deliver at each level? team: stories, PI = features (and benefits) Value Stream = capacity, solution portolio= epic What is solution intent? What is required at each level? Epic=Short business case What are the considerations in systems thinking * Complex systems development requires disiplined, systemic systems thinking * optimize the whole - optimizing a component does not optimize the system * value of a system passes through its interconnections * system evolves no faster than its slowest (integration) point * understand and optimize whole value stream A system's view on the value stream * Most inefficiencies and impediments will show up as delays * consider all steps - definition, analysis, delivery, etc * customers and suppliers are part of value stream * establish a culture of continuous improvement of whole value stream Assume variability - preserve options * Cone of uncertainty - Economics too - Preservation of options improves economics and flexibile requirements helps make economic design choices.CONTINUED....
