eXAM Q&A 2026 100% CORReCT.
⫸ Lean Goal. Answer: Speed, quality, value. sustainably shorted lead
time, best quality and value to people and society, most customer
delight, lowest cost, high morale, safety
⫸ Respect for People. Answer: Lean principle, your customer is
whoever consumes your work. Develop individuals and teams,
empower teams, build partnerships based on trust and mutual respect
⫸ Kaizen. Answer: Lean principle,. We can do better.Reflection,
continuous improvement as an enterprise value
⫸ Leadership. Answer: Lean foundation, management is trained, take
responsibility, develop people
⫸ Product development flow. Answer: Lean principle. 1. Take an
economic view. 2. Actively manage queues. 3. Understand and exploit
variability. 4. Reduce batch sizes. 5. Apply WIP constraints. 6.
Control flow under uncertainty; cadence and synchronization. 7. Get
feedback as fast as possible. 8. Decentralized control
⫸ Take an economic view. Answer: Lean principle of product
development flow. #1. Base your decisions on economics. The goal is
to optimize the time from concept to cash
,⫸ Actively manage queues. Answer: Lean principle of product
development flow. #2. Understand Little's Law. Control wait times by
controlling queue lengths
⫸ Understand and exploit variability. Answer: Lean principle of
product development flow. #3. Risk taking is central to value creation
⫸ Reduce Batch Size. Answer: Lean principle of product
development flow. #4. Smaller batches go through the system faster,
with lower variability and risk. Large batch sizes and high utilization
increase variability, causing project slippage. Co-location and good
infrastructure enable small batches
⫸ Apply WIP constraints. Answer: Lean principle of product
development flow. #5. WIP constraints force capacity matching,
increases flow. Time box, purge lower value projects when WIP is too
high, constrain local WIP pools, make WIP continuously visible. High
WIP and utilization cause reduction throughput
⫸ Control flow under uncertainty. Answer: Lean principle of product
development flow. #6. Cadence + Synchronization. Cadence
transforms unpredictable events into predictable events, requires
scope or capacity margin, makes waiting times predictable, helps
manage load by limiting available time. Regular systemwide
integration provides higher fidelity tests and objective solution
assessment
,⫸ Get fast feedback. Answer: Lean principle of product development
flow. #7. Product development is the process of converting
uncertainty to knowledge. Fast feedback accelerates knowledge
⫸ Decentralized control. Answer: Lean principle of product
development flow. #8. Centralize control for decisions that are
infrequent and can be applied globally, have significant economies of
scale or high-risk. Decentralized control for time critical, local
decisions
⫸ Planning is for alignment. Answer: Lean principle of product
development flow. #9. There is more value created with overall
alignment than with local excellence. Agile aims to change the plan
when something changes
⫸ Agile values: Individuals and interactions. Answer: Over processes
and tools
⫸ Agile values: working software. Answer: Over comprehensive
documentation
⫸ Agile values: customer collaboration. Answer: Over contract
negotiation
⫸ Agile values: responding to change. Answer: Over following a plan
, ⫸ Agile drivers in the triangle.. Answer: Value and quality driven, the
vision creates feature estimates, fix the dates and float the scope
⫸ Agile benefits. Answer: Early value delivery drives first to market,
fast feedback, profitability, makes money faster, reduces risk, delivers
better fit for purpose
⫸ SAFe core values. Answer: Alignment, Code quality,
Transparency, program execution
⫸ Four SAFe business results. Answer: Increased employee
engagement, 20-50% increase in productivity, 30-70% faster time to
market, 50% defect reduction
⫸ Describe an Agile team. Answer: Empowered, self organizing, self
managing, cross functional, deliver fully tested code every two weeks
⫸ How does an Agile team deliver value?. Answer: In user stories
⫸ Describe a SAFe team that is scaled to program level. Answer: Self
organizing, self managing team of Agile teams, continuous value
delivery, aligned to a common mission via a single program backlog
⫸ How do program level safe teams deliver value?. Answer: In
