Delivery
2. Agile Product Delivery
3. Team & Technical Agility
4. Lean Portfolio Mgmt.
5. Organizational Agility
6. Continuous Learning Culture
7. Lean-Agile Leadership
What is Enterprise Solution Delivery? ---ANSWER--- - One of the Core Competencies of
Business Agility
- How to apply Lean-Agile principles & practices to specification, development,
deployment, operation and evolution of the world's largest & most sophisticated systems
- Coordinate & align the full supply chain
- Continue to enhance value after release
Dimensions of Enterprise Solution Delivery ---ANSWER--- 1. Lean Systems and
Solution Engineering: applies Lean-Agile practices to align and coordinate all the
activities necessary to specify, architect, design, implement, test, deploy, evolve, and
ultimately decommission these systems
2. Coordinating Trains and Suppliers: coordinates and aligns the extended, and often
complex, set of value streams to a shared business and technology mission. It uses the
coordinated Vision, Backlogs, and Roadmaps with common Program Increments (PI)
and synchronization points
3. Continually Evolve Live Systems: ensures large systems and their development
pipeline support continuous delivery

Built-in Quality ---ANSWER--- Built-In Quality practices ensure that each Solution
element, at every increment, meets appropriate quality standards throughout
development.
Agile Manifesto ---ANSWER--- * Individuals & Interactions OVER Processes & Tools; *
Working Software OVER comprehensive documentation; * Customer Collaboration
OVER contract negotiation; Responding to Change OVER following a plan.
Continuous Delivery Pipeline (CDP) ---ANSWER--- Continuous Exploration ->
Continuous Integration -> Continuous Deployment -> Release on Demand. CE -> CI ->
CD -> RoD.
Measure & Grow ---ANSWER--- The way portfolios evaluate their progress towards Biz
Agility and determine their next steps.
SAFe Core Values ---ANSWER--- Alignment, Built-in Quality, Transparency, Program
Execution. The four Core Values represent the fundamental beliefs that are key to
SAFe's effectiveness. These guiding principles help dictate behavior and action for
everyone who participates in a SAFe portfolio.
Alignment ---ANSWER--- Constant communication, constantly check for understanding.
, Built-In Quality ---ANSWER--- Ensures that each Solution element, at every increment,
meets appropriate quality standards throughout development.
Transparency ---ANSWER--- visualize relevant work, admits mistakes, support others.
SAFe House of Lean ---ANSWER--- Illustrates the goal of delivering VALUE through the
pillars of Respect for people and culture, Flow, Innovation, and Relentless improvement.
LEADERSHIP provides the foundation on which everything else stands.

Lean-Agile Principles ---ANSWER--- SAFe is based on ten immutable, underlying Lean-
Agile principles which inspire and inform the roles and practices of SAFe: *Take an
economic view; *Apply systems thinking; *Assume variability; *Build incrementally with
fast, integrated learning cycles; *Base milestones on objective evaluation of working
systems; *Visualize & limit WIP, reduce batch sizes, manage Q lengths; *Apply
cadence, sync with x-domain planning; *Unlock intrinsic motivation of knowledge
workers; * Decentralize decision-making; *Organize around value.
Take an Economic view ---ANSWER--- Lean-Agile Prin. * Deliver Value early & often. &
incrementally; Solution economic trade-offs.: * Sequence jobs for maximum benefit; *
