Agile Architecture - ANSAgile architecture is a set of values and practices
that support the active evolution of the design and
architecture of a system, concurrent with the implementation of new
business functionality. With this
approach, the architecture of a system, even a large one, evolves over time
while simultaneously
supporting the needs of current users. This avoids Big Up-Front Design
(BUFD) and the starting and
stopping of stage-gated methods.

Agile Release Train - ANSThe Agile Release Train is a long-lived team of
Agile Teams, typically consisting of 50 - 125 individuals.
The ART aligns teams to a common mission and provides for a regular
cadence for planning,
development, and retrospective. Trains provide continuous product
development flow and each train
has the dedicated resources necessary to continuously define, build, and
test valuable and evaluateable
capabilities every two weeks.
Agile Release Train size? - ANS50-125 members
Agile Team size? - ANS5-9 people
Agile Teams - ANSThe Agile Team is a cross-functional group of five to
nine individuals who have the ability and
authority to define, build, and test solution value—all in a short-iteration
timebox. The team includes
the individuals necessary to successfully deliver this value, supported by
specialists where applicable.

Architectural Runway - ANSArchitectural runway provides one of the
means by which SAFe implements the concepts of Agile
architecture. This runway provides the necessary technical basis for
developing business initiatives
and implementing new features and capabilities. An architectural runway
exists when the enterprise's
platforms have sufficient existing technological infrastructure to support the
implementation of the
highest-priority, near-term features without excessive, delay-inducing
redesign.

, Budgets - ANSSAFe provides strategies for Lean-Agile budgeting that
funds value streams instead of projects. This
empowers value streams with their own dedicated budget for rapid
decision-making and flexible
value delivery, while Program Portfolio Management (PPM) retains control
of total spending, which is
adjusted over time.
Built-in Quality - ANSBuilt-in quality is one of the four core values of SAFe.
The enterprise's ability to deliver new
functionality with the fastest sustainable lead time, along with the ability to
be able to react to rapidly
changing business conditions, is dependent on built-in quality.
Business Owners - ANSBusiness Owners are a small group of
stakeholders (typically three to five) who have the ultimate
fiduciary, governance, efficacy, and ROI responsibility for the value
delivered by a specific release
train. Business Owners typically have management responsibility for
Customer relationships,
development, solution quality, deployment, operations, Product
Management, and architecture.
