SAFE DEVOPS 5.1 STUDY GUIDE 2026
QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◉ Process Time (PT) Answer: Part of Activity Ratio. Time to
complete actual value-added work
◉ Percent Complete and Accurate (%C&A) Answer: Percent of work
that the next station could process as-is
◉ Activity Ratio Answer: Measures activity efficiency (PT/LT)
◉ Rolled Percent Complete & Accurate Answer: Measures efficiency
of entire flow (%C&A 1 * %C&A 2 * %C&A n * 100)
◉ Current State of Delivery Pipeline Answer: Visualized by laying
out: Steps - Roles - Measure Steps - Calculate Total Metrics
◉ Continuous Exploration Answer: Section of Continuous Delivery
Pipeline whose business objective = Alignment and is broken down
into the following domains: Hypothesize, Collaborate & Research,
Architect, Synthesize
, ◉ Hypothesize Answer: Define the hypothesis to be validated
through the Continuous Delivery Pipeline; Skills = Lean Startup,
Innovation Accounting
◉ Lean Startup Answer: Focuses on identifying the viability of ideas
following PDCA; includes using MVP to establish baseline to test
assumptions and gather objective data; if the MVP proves out, the
value stream will continue to develop features. If not, pivot. Uses
Innovation Accounting.
◉ Innovation Accounting Answer: Part of the Lean Startup Cycle.
Validates learning and reduces waste through fast feedback loops. It
has 3 learning milestones: Minimum Viable Product (MVP), Tune the
Engine, and Pivot. Focuses on Leading Indicators and avoids Vanity
Metrics.
◉ Continuous Integration Answer: Section of Continuous Delivery
Pipeline whose business objective = Quality and is broken down into
the following domains: Develop, Build, Test end-to-end, and Stage
Builds quality into the development process by integrating ongoing
work of Agile Teams. All work is version controlled, and new
functionality is built and continuously integrated into a full system
or solution and tested end-to-end before being validated on a
staging environment.
