Increment (PI) timebox. Aligns teams to a common business and technology mission.
5. SAFe Core Values: - Alignment
- Transparency
- Built-in Quality
- Program Execution

Pipeline represents the flow of value from concept to delivery
7. SAFe Lean-Agile Principles (9 total): 1 - Take an economic view
2 - Apply Systems Thinking
3 - Assume variability; preserve options
4 - Build incrementally with fast, integrated learning cycles
5 - Base milestones on objective evaluation of working systems
6 - Visualize and limit WIP, reduce batch sizes, and manage queue lengths
7 - Apply cadence, synchronize with cross-domain planning
8 - Unlock the intrinsic motivation of knowledge workers
9 - Decentralize decision-making
8. Without a shared understanding of priciples: - There is no systematic way to adapt practices
to local context
- Business outcomes do not significantly improve
- Practices and measures that were once beneficial become problematic
