How Well Can You Define Following Core Values of SAFe Flashcards

How well can you define the following core values of SAFe? Even if you have no idea what this is, these flashcards can help. SAFe is based on three main bodies of knowledge: agile development, lean product development, and systems thinking, and this makes SAFe entirely scalable. At its heart, SAFe places the highest value on four things: configuration, quality, simplicity, and program execution. Read and study these flashcards to learn more.

What are components of agile economics?
  • Deliver early and often
  • Delivery value incrementally with fast feedback loops.
  • Understand tradeoff parameters: Cycle Time, Product Cost, Value, Development Expense, Risk
    • Sequence jobs for maximum benefit
    • Do not consider money already spent
    • Make economic choices continuously
    • Empower local decision making
    • If you only quantify one thing, quantify the cost of delay
Describe the differences between waterfall and incremental delivery.
Waterfall delivery doesn’t deliver value until the end. Incremental delivery provides value early and builds upon it over time, with opportunity for feedback and course correction throughout.
Describe the concept of "a system that builds things"
“A system must be managed. It will not manage itself. Left to themselves, components become selfish, independent profit centers and thus destroy the system. The secret is cooperation between components toward the aim of the organization.” —W. Edwards Deming
Identify elements of systems thinking
  • The solution itself is a system
  • The enterprise building the system is a system
  • Optimize the full value stream
Why is it important to optimize for the system and not the team?
  • Optimizing a component does not optimize the system
  • For the system to behave well as a system, a higher-level understanding of behavior and architecture is required
  • The value of a system passes through its interconnections
  • A system can evolve no faster than its slowest integration point
What is the best way to optimize the full value stream?
  • Focus on delays
    • Most problems with your process will surface as delays
    • Most of the time spent getting to market is a result of these delays
    • Reducing delays is the fasted way to reduce time to market
