Unless we build quality in, we will not be able to make Flow effective Which pillar of SAFe House of Lean talks about Go See or Gemba? Innovation talks about Go See/ Gemba - which represents going to the place where production happens or work is getting produced. Intent isto be familiar with the entire development process, and then think of improvements During any technological revolution, what isthe correctsequence of the three stages of transformation? Any tech revolution seesthree key stages of Installation period where new technology and entrants disrupts the market, Turning Point - where incumbents either change their business model and master technology or cease to exist, and Deployment Period - where new tech giants emerge and become dominant players Without the IP iteration, there is a high risk of growing uncontrollably Technical debt can grow if there is no IP iteration to focus on improvements A decision that can have a significant economies ofscale impact, can be a good candidate for decentralized decision making’ False. Thisis an example of centralized decision making asthis will have huge impact across organization Architecture Runway is built by enablers and consumed by features TRUE Thisis correct, Arch Runway is built by tech enablers and they are consumed by features Built-in Quality practicesthat can be adopted by hardware teams can be (select 2) MBSE and Set-based design practices can be adopted by teams working on hardware development In a Generative culture, In a Generative culture which is performance oriented, failure leadsto improvements as learnings are discussed and action plan to incorporate those are created and executed Incremental delivery approach has benefit of that increasesthe value over period of time, compared to a Waterfall model where the solution comestogether towardsthe end Fast feedback loop when done with an incremental approach invalidates many incorrect assumptions early on in the cycle, thus reducing the development effort, improving quality and reducing time to market In SAFe CALMR Approach for DevOps, a key enabler islarge batch sizesto enable Lean flow Small batch sizes are enablersfor DevOps In the context of Agile Principles, Who must work together with developers daily throughout the project to deliver value Businessstakeholders must work very closely with developersthroughout the projectsto deliver value. In SAFe Implementation Roadmap, what happens after training Executives, Managers and Leaders? Identification of Value Streams and ARTs happen once Executive, Managers and Leaders are trained There is a very high focus on Customer Centricity in model Network model - most organizations start as a flexible, adaptive network of passionate individuals focused solely on the needs of their customers Cone of uncertainty is a journey of knowing little initially towards converging on the actual solution using (choose 2) Flexible specifications and design sets are the two dimensions that converge on cone of uncertainty Five key roles on an Agile Release Train (ART) are RTE, Product Manager, System Arch, and (select 2) Business Owners and System team are ART roles Agile teamsresponsibility in PI planning are the following (select 3) Agile teams are responsible for Defining userstories and planning them into the iteration. They are also responsible to workout interdependencies with other teams ContinuousIntegration includes deploying the integrated solution on a Staging environment True - CI takesthe integrated code until the staging environment In Portfolio Kanban, an Epic is marked as Done when LPM governance is no longer required Once an Epic continues as business-as-usual in implementation stage and LPM governance is not required, its marked as Done in the Portfolio Kanban In Portfolio investmentstrategy, the type of applications appearing in Horizon 3 are Horizon 3 ideas are under - getting evaluated state Enabler stories can include functional scenario implementation, infrastructure, architecture work Enabler stories are tech oriented and will have infra, architecture work and not functional scenarios Teams can execute an iteration using Scrum or Kanban Agile teams can adopt Scrum or Kanban depending on nature of their work and whatever works best for their context There are core competencies of Business Agility There are seven core competencies of Business Agility in the SAFe Framework As part of Inspect & Adapt Problem Solving Workshop, at which step does the team apply 5 Whys? Teamapplies 5-Whys when they apply root-cause analysis using fishbone technique Reducing transaction costsreducestotal cost and lowers batch size Transaction cost reduction reduces total cost and also lowers the batch size, ex: automation and infra improvements reduce testing and deployment cost forsmall batch SWOT and TOWS are used to analyse the currentstate of Portfolio FALSE - SWOT and TOWS are used to analyse the currentstate and also to devise actionsto get to future state Which part of SAFe House of Lean covers Customer Delight? Value - the roof in the SAFe House of Lean is all about adding value to the customer, to go beyond meeting requirements and think of delighting the customer In economic trade-off framework, choosing a higher Value might lead to an increased and a reduced Increased development expense as we need to deliver faster which will need more team and reduced lead time as we release sooner Synchronization converts unpredictable events into predictable occurrences and lowers cost FALSE - Cadence and not Synchronization converts unpredictable events into predictable ones SAFe(R) Core Competency at the foundation of SAFe(R) Full Configuration is Lean-Agile Leadership Competency features as the foundation in the core competency model of SAFe(R) framework Product owners have content authority to make decisions at a userstory level (True or False) Product Owners are content authority at a story level System Demo is a Program level eventy System demo happens for all teams in a program with integrated code being showcased on an environment thatresembles Production, so it is a Program Event Story pointsrepresent estimatesin context of Volume, Complexity, and (select 2) Story pointsrepresent estimatesin context of Volume, Complexity, Knowledge and Uncertainty In John Kotter view of how to lead change effectively, empowering employees happens before creating a powerful guiding coalition Per Kotter, a powerful guiding coalition hasto be created and then employees need to be empowered amongst other steps to leading change SAFe supports a dual operating system that balances and Kottersuggests we need a dual operating system thatleveragesthe power of both Hierarchy and Network model Which pillar of SAFe House of Lean mentionsthat you need to optimize the whole to get desired benefits? RelentlessImprovement talks about optimizing the whole to get the desired benefits and not just localized improvements What all doesthe Solution Architect not describe in their address to the ART at the start of the PI Planning (select 3) Product Vision Overall Budgets Product Feature Listing Solution Architect istasked to ensure all the teams on the ART follow common frameworks and tooling to ensure minimal disruptions occur when the teamsintegrate As utilization increases, Cycle time increases for high batch sizes Increased utilization leadsto higher cycle time for completion of work when batch sizes are large Celebrate high quality and predictably delivered Program Increments are demonstrated as part of SAFe Core Value of Program Execution core value encourages people to celebrate high quality and delivery successes A decision with High cost of delay should be Itshould be de-centralized to let local teamsmake the decision asthey are closer to situation Organizational Agility Competency hasthe following dimensions(choose 3) Organizational Agility Competency has 3 dimensions: Lean -thinking People and Agile Teams, Lean Business Operations and Strategy Agility In SAFe CALMR Approach for DevOps, the letter R standsfor R represents Recovery approach and strategiesin CALMR approach Competenciesin Essential SAFe Configuration are (choose 3) Essential SAFe configuration has Agile Product Delivery, Team and Technical Agility and Lean-agile Leadership as the three competencies Complete the statement from the Agile Manifesto - "Individuals and interactions over " Individuals and Interactions over Processes and tools- thisreflectsthe basic premise of how the team should pivot while working to deliver value incrementally In SAFe DevOps approach, for Continuous Delivery Pipeline a key enabler isthe decoupling of and (choose 2) Deployment and Release are decoupled. While deploymentis ongoing as part of Continuous Deployment, Release is on-demand as prioritized by business stakeholders With reference to program risks, what does ROAM stand for? Resolved - Has been addressed. No longer a concern. Owned - Someone has taken responsibility. Accepted - Nothing more can be done. If risk occurs,release may be compromised. Mitigated - Team has plan to adjust as necessary. If a team haslow confidence in meeting a Pl Objective or hastoo many unknowns, whatshould they do during the PI Planning? The uncommitted objectives are a way forthe teamsto ensure they remain predictable with their commitmentsto business owners. Forsome reason if a specific team objective has open risks or other ambiguities and the team is not confident that they at this point in time are unwilling to commit to it, they can mark it under the uncommitted objectives. These are notsomething that will be done just in case there is time, Uncommitted objectives do count in velocity/capacity.

Flow focuses on understanding the end-to-end work and delays, visualizing work items and bringing in effective WIP limits to reduce batch sizes Uncommitted business objective value for a team do not get added up into the total of expected business value numbers for that PI Thisis correct, Uncommitted business objective value for a team do not get added up into the total of expected business value numbers for that PI Competenciesin Large Solution SAFe Configuration are (choose 4) Large Solution configuration hasfollowing competencies: Agile Product Delivery, Team and Technical Agility, Enterprise Solution Delivery and Lean-Agile Leadership Who coachesthe Agile team and facilitatesteam meetings Scrum Master coachesthe team and facilitatesthe meetings Selectsome of the DevOps practice domainsrecommended in SAFe (Select 3) Continuous Security emphasizes practices such as security by design, threat modeling, security-ascode, as well as automation in the areas of vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and intrusion detection. The Configuration Management practice domain represents an - everything as code approach to defining solutions, their runtime environments, and the systems that usher them through the continuous delivery pipeline. Infrastructure Management is a domain that focuses on the - care and feeding of production systems, many of which may be defined as code. Whereas configuration management is a set of design-time practices, infrastructure management is a set of runtime practices. Teams on the ART are organized around flow (True or False) TRUE - The whole purpose of bringing a cross functional ART together isto enable the flow Selectthe team topologiesthat are recommended in SAFe (Select 2) Stream aligned team - organized around the flow of work and has the ability to deliver value directly to the customer. Platform team - organized around the development and support of platforms that provide services to other teams Selectsome of the DevOps practice domainsrecommended in SAFe (Select 3) Value stream management is a business practice that focuses on increasing the flow of business value from customer request to customer delivery, ContinuousQuality is a domain that ensures that quality is built in early in the pipeline and continually managed throughout a solutions life cycle. e.g. TDD, BDD, AB testing, Version Control stresses minimizing the amount and duration of open branches and ensuring that the code base alwaysremains in a deployable state. Can new features be released on demand anytime within a PI? (True or False) TRUE - Release on demand does not necessarily have to be done at PI boundaries. The essence of decoupling the release and deployment of new features as part of the CDP cycle enables this ability to release on demand How SAFe portfolio reconciles a set of possible investments and allocatesthe budgetsto development value streams for the next budgeting period? Participatory Budgeting isthe processthat Lean Portfolio Management usesto allocate the total portfolio budget to its value streams. Selectthe team topologiesthat are recommended in SAFe (Select 2) Complicated sub system team - organized around specific subsystems that require deep specialty skills and expertise. Enabling Teams - organized to assist other teams with specialized capabilities and help them become proficient in new technologies Selectsome of the DevOps practice domainsrecommended in SAFe (Select 3) The Agile Planning and Design domain assuresthat a CALMR approach to DevOps isfollowed from the onset of the delivery life cycle. This domain includes practices such as Lean UX, Agile architecture, backlog management, and emergent design. Continuous Monitoring involves capturing, logging, surfacing, and analyzing production events. These events describe both system behavior and end user behavior and directly support the Measurement and Recovery elements of CALMR. Value metrics are precisely tuned to how customers derive value from deployed solutions. They are outcome-oriented measurements that provide objective evidence that solutions are performing or not performing well in the market. This practice domain containstechniques such as innovation accounting, objectives and key results, key performance indicators, and service level agreements. What are the different types of Operational value streams? (Select 4) Fulfillment value streams represent the steps necessary to process a customer request, deliver a digitally-enabled product or service, and receive remuneration. Examples include providing a consumer with an insurance product or fulfilling an eCommerce sales order. Manufacturing value streams convert raw materials into the products customers purchase. Examples include consumer products, medical devices, and complex cyber-physical systems. Software product value streams offer and supportsoftware products. Examplesinclude ERP systems, SaaS, and desktop and mobile applications. Supporting value streams include end-to-end workflows for various supporting activities. Examples include the lifecycle for employee hiring and retention, supplier contracting, executing the annual budget process, and completing a full enterprise sales cycle.
