Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project. Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done. The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face- to-face conversation. Working software is the primary measure of progress. Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely. Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility. Simplicity - the art of maximizing the amount of work not done - is essential The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams. At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly. Q12.

Agile teams are cross-functional and self-organizing group of 5 to 11 people, that can define, build, test, and where applicable, deploy increments of value in short time boxes of two weeks called Iterations. Team contains two specialty roles:- Scrum Master - coaches the team in self-management; helps the team focus on creating increments of value; removes impediments; ensures that all team events take place, are productive and kept within the timebox Product Owner - contributes to the Vision and Roadmap; acts as the Customer for team questions; creates, clearly communicates and accepts stories;prioritizes the backlog Team responsibilities are:- Create and refine Stories and acceptance criteria Develop and commit to team PI Objectives and Iteration Goals Team execute Iterations with Scrum.

What is Agile Release Train (ART)? ART is a cross functional, virtual organization of 5-12 teams (50-125+ individuals), synchronized on common cadence, a Program Increment (PI), aligned to a common mission via a single program backlog, ART Events are:- Pre and Post PI Planning PI Planning ART Sync (Weekly or more frequently, 30-60 minutes) - consist of Scrum of scrums and PO Sync ‘System Demo (Occurs at the end of each Iteration in Pl) Solution Demo (Occurs at the end of each Pl) - presents the combined development effort of multiple ARTs and Suppliers Inspect & Adapt (Occurs at the end of each Pl) ART are organized for flow:- Stream-aligned team - organized around the flow of work and has the ability to deliver value directly to the Customer or end user. Complicated subsystem team - organized around specific subsystems that require deep specialty skills and expertise.

Product Management owns, defines, and prioritizes the Program Backlog. System Architect/Engineering provides architectural guidance and technical enablement to the teams on the train. The System Team provides processes and tools to integrate and evaluate assets early and often. Business Owners are key stakeholders on the Agile Release Train. Lesson 4: Building Solutions with Agile Product Delivery Q16. What is Design Thinking? Design Thinking is a clear and continuous understanding of the target market, Customers, the problems they are facing, and the jobs to be done. Understand the problem - Use Personas and Empathy Maps to understand customers Design the right solution (Desirable, Viable, Feasible, Sustainable) - Use Journey Maps to design end-to-end customer experience and Story Maps to capture workflows Q17.

Features are prioritized using WSJF and top 10 features are presented to the team during P! planning Typically Product Management creates business features and System Architect creates enabler features Q19. What is Capability? Capabilities are maintained in Solution Backlog Capabilities are sized to fit in a Program Increment (PI) and delivered by multiple Agile Release Trains (ARTs) Capabilities includes a Phrase, a benefit hypothesis and Acceptance criteria Q20.

Usually Sth Iteration is in a PI is called Innovation and Planning (IP) Iteration. Events are:- PI Planning - facilitated by Release Train Engineer (RTE) for 2 days every typical 10 weeks, Product management provides vision and backlog, System architect provides architectural guidance, Teams of agile team plan the work and visualize on Program board. Outcome is Team/Program Pl Objectives and Program board. Business Owner assign business value to Pl Objectives on a scale of 1 to 10. System Demo - ART demo integrated solution after each Iteration Inspect & Adapt - Retrospect at the end of Pl, product management understand customer's problem and find desirable, viable, feasible, and sustainable solution 22. What is PI Uncommitted Objectives? Uncommitted objectives are used to identify work that can be variable within the scope of a P|. The work is planned, but the outcome is simply not certain, Teams can apply uncommitted objectives whenever there is low confidence in meeting the objective. This can be due to many circumstances: Dependencies with another team or supplier that cannot be guaranteed The team has little to no experience with functionality Af thie hina _In thic aca tha taame maw nlan ‘Cnilac! hitpsdcodingneoncepts.comiagleleading-safe! 11638726122, 10:56 AM Leading SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) Exam Notes - Coding N Concepts 23.

Management Q26. What is SAFe Portfolio? SAFe Portfolio is a collection of Value Streams for a specific business domain in an Enterprise. An Enterprise may have a single portfolio or multiple portfolios Each value stream can have multiple Solution trains and Agile release trains. The portfolio canvas is a template for identifying a specific SAFe portfolio. One of the primary uses of the canvas is to record the current state of the portfolio Q27. What is Portfolio Epic? Epics are defined at portfolio level, they are typically cross- cutting and spanning multiple Value Streams and Pls. There are two types: Business Epics directly deliver business value Enabler Epics support the Architectural Runway and future business functionality Epics need a Lean business case, the definition of a minimum viable product (MVP), an Epic Owner, and approval by LPM. Epics are described with four major fields: Value statement hitpsdcodingneoncepts.comiagleleading-safe! 1910312812, 1056 AM Leading SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) Exam Notes - Coding N Concepts Strategic themes provide a mechanism to align the business objectives of an enterprise to SAFe portfolio. They influence portfolio strategy and provide business context for portfolio decision-making. Strategic themes are direct inputs to the portfolio vision Strategic themes can be defined by a phrase or by using the Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) template. Q29. What is Lean Budget? Funding Value Streams, not projects. Expenses across a Pl are fixed and easy to forecast Q30. What is Participatory Budgeting? Participatory Budgeting (PB) is the process that Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) uses to allocate the total portfolio budget to its value streams. The Enterprise provides a portion of its total budget to each portfolio. In turn, Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) allocates the portfolio Budget to individual Value Streams. The value streams fund the people and resources needed to. achieve the current Portfolio Vision and Roadmap Empowered Agile Release Trains (ART) advance Solutions and implement Epics approved by LPM.
