Answer: Lean-Agile Prin. *Value doesn't follow silos. * Organize
around flow of value (Value Stream). *Value at scale is distributed -
often flows across org boundaries. *Find the kidney - value stream
within which to build 1+ ARTs.
◉ Value Stream
,Answer: Sequence of steps used to deliver a continuous value to
Customer. Includes whole sequence to value delivery, Contains
people, systems, flow of info & materials.
◉ ART
Answer: Agile Release Train. Long-lived team of Agile Teams. Virtual
org of 5-12 Teams (50-125+ indivds). Syncd on common cadence, PI.
Aligned to common mission vis single PROGRAM backlog. CE, CI, CD,
ROD. Create x-fcnl ARTs.

Answer: Higher-level solution behavior that typically spans multiple
ARTs. Capabilities are sized and split into multiple features to
facilitate their implementation in a single PI.
◉ CoPs
, Answer: Communities of Practice are organized groups of people
who have a common interest in a specific technical or business
domain. They collaborate regularly to share information, improve
their skills, and actively work on advancing the general knowledge of
the domain.
