SOLUTIONS GUARANTEE A+
✔✔the 8 flow accelerators - ✔✔1. visualize and limit work-in-progress (WIP)
2. address bottlenecks
3. minimize handoffs and dependencies
4. get faster feedback
5. work in smaller batches
6. reduce queue length
7. optimize time "in the zone"
8. remediate legacy policies and practices
✔✔principle of lean thinking: let the customer pull value from the producer - ✔✔letting
the customer pulling what they want and need instead of pushing solutions that the
organization assumes the customer wants
✔✔push based value flow - ✔✔big
infrequent
overengineered released
✔✔pull based value flow - ✔✔small
frequent releases or what matters to the customer
✔✔principle of lean thinking: pursue perfection - ✔✔supports the idea of continuous
improvement
✔✔lean agile mindset - ✔✔combination of beliefs, assumptions, attitudes, and actions
of SAFe leaders and professionals who embrace the concepts of lean thinking
✔✔why the 8 flow accelorators? - ✔✔the approaches reduce interruptions and enable
continuous flow
✔✔SAFes four core values - ✔✔1. respect for people
2. relentless improvement
3. built in quality
4. program execution
✔✔SAFe lean-agile prinicples - ✔✔1. take an economic view
2. apply systems thinking
3. assume variability
4. build incrementally with fast, integrated learning cycles
5. base milestones on objective evaluation of working systems
6. make value flow without interruptions
7. apply cadence, synchronize with cross-domain planning
8. unlock the intrinsic motivation of knowledge workers
, 9. decentralize decision-making
10. organize around value
✔✔what is flow? - ✔✔a smooth transition of work, through the entire value stream with
minimal handoffs, delays, and rework
✔✔Team backlog - ✔✔contains all the upcoming work needed to advance the solution
✔✔responsibility wheels - ✔✔visual representation of the key areas of responsibility for
that role
✔✔SAFe practice consultants (SPC) - ✔✔change agents that play a critical role in
successfully implementing SAFe
provide coaching for many of the practices and critical moves described in the SAFe
implementation roadmap
✔✔what are the 5 stages of the SAFe implementation? - ✔✔1. reaching the tipping
point
2. building a guiding coalition
3. designing the implementation
4. launching more ARTs and enhancing the portfolio
5. accelerating towards business agility
✔✔what are the 3 measurement doains? - ✔✔1. competency
2. flow
3. outcomes
✔✔(measurement domains) outcomes - ✔✔do the solutions meet the needs of
customers and the business?

value to the customer?
✔✔(measurement domains) competency - ✔✔how proficient is the organization in the
practices that enable business agility?
✔✔true or false: the 3 measurement domains are applicable at all levels of SAFe -
✔✔true
✔✔what are some outcome metric examples? - ✔✔KPIs
