SAFE AGILE UPDATED EXAM STUDY GUIDE QUESTIONS
AND SOLUTIONS GUARANTEE A+
✔✔Iteration Planning - ✔✔an event where all team members determine how much of
the Team Backlog they can commit to delivering during an upcoming Iteration. The
team summarizes the work as a set of committed Iteration Goals.
✔✔Iteration Retrospective - ✔✔a regular event where Agile Team members discuss the
results of the Iteration, review their practices, and identify ways to improve.
✔✔Iteration Review - ✔✔a cadence-based event, where each team inspects the
increment at the end of every Iteration to assess progress, and then adjusts its backlog
for the next iteration.
✔✔Large Solution SAFe - ✔✔describes additional roles, practices, and guidance to
build and evolve the world's largest applications, networks, and cyber-physical systems.
✔✔Lean Budget Guardrails - ✔✔describe the policies and practices for budgeting,
spending, and governance for a specific portfolio. Apply investment horizons,
Continuous Business Owner engagement, Approve Epic initiatives, Utilize capacity
allocation
✔✔Lean Budgets - ✔✔provide effective financial governance over investments, with far
less overhead and friction, and supports a much higher throughput of development
work.
✔✔Lean Portfolio Management - ✔✔competency that aligns strategy and execution by
applying Lean and systems thinking approaches to strategy and investment funding,
Agile portfolio operations, and governance.
✔✔Lean User Experience (Lean UX) design - ✔✔a mindset, culture, and a process that
embraces Lean-Agile methods. It implements functionality in minimum viable
increments and determines success by measuring results against a benefit hypothesis.
✔✔Lean-Agile Leadership - ✔✔competency that describes how to drive and sustain
organizational change and operational excellence by empowering individuals and teams
to reach their highest potential.
✔✔Lean-Agile Mindset - ✔✔the combination of beliefs, assumptions, attitudes, and
actions of SAFe leaders and practitioners who embrace the concepts of the Agile
Manifesto and Lean thinking. It's the personal, intellectual, and leadership foundation for
adopting and applying SAFe principles and practices.
, ✔✔Lean-Agile Principles - ✔✔SAFe is based on ten immutable, underlying principles.
These tenets and economic concepts inspire and inform the roles and practices of
SAFe.
✔✔Measure and Grow - ✔✔the way portfolios evaluate their progress towards business
agility and determine their next improvement steps.
✔✔Metrics - ✔✔agreed-upon measures used to evaluate how well the organization is
progressing toward the portfolio, large solution, program, and team's business and
technical objectives.
✔✔Milestones - ✔✔used to track progress toward a specific goal or event. There are
three types in SAFe: Program Increment (PI), fixed-date, and learning.
✔✔Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) - ✔✔the practice of developing a set of
related system models that help define, design, analyze, document and learn about the
system under development. These models provide an efficient way to virtually
prototype, explore, and communicate system aspects, while significantly reducing or
eliminating dependence on traditional documents.
✔✔Nonfunctional Requirements (NFRs) - ✔✔define system attributes such as security,
reliability, performance, maintainability, scalability, and usability. They serve as
constraints or restrictions on the design of the system across the different backlogs.
✔✔Organizational Agility - ✔✔competency that describes how Lean-thinking people
and Agile teams optimize their business processes, evolve strategy with clear and
decisive new commitments, and quickly adapt the organization as needed to capitalize
on new opportunities.
✔✔PI Objectives - ✔✔a summary of the business and technical goals that an Agile
Team or train intends to achieve in the upcoming Program Increment.
✔✔Portfolio Backlog - ✔✔the highest-level backlog in SAFe. It provides a holding area
for upcoming business and enabler Epics intended to create and evolve a
comprehensive set of Solutions.
✔✔Portfolio Kanban - ✔✔a method to visualize and manage the flow of portfolio Epics,
from ideation through analysis, implementation, and completion.
✔✔Portfolio SAFe - ✔✔aligns strategy with execution and organizes solution
development around the flow of value through one or more value streams.
✔✔Portfolio Vision - ✔✔a description of the future state of a portfolio's Value Streams
and Solutions and describes how they will cooperate to achieve the portfolio's objectives
and the broader aim of the Enterprise.
