What is the benefit of timeboxing the preparation for the first Program Increment (PI) Planning
event?
• To have a known schedule
• To maximize the quality of the preparation
• To assure people that they will have sustainable pace of work
• To minimize the expansion of work during preparation
Set the launch date of the first PI Planning
A forcing function is a commitment that forces a sequence of actions to happen. Use it to start your
train.
► By scheduling the Pl Planning event, you will create the timebox in which the preparation
must happen.
► This will minimize the expansion of work during preparation. Not everything can (or needs
to) be perfect.
► Assure people that the Inspect and Adapt Workshop creates a closed-loop system so that
impediments can be made visible and addressed as soon as possible.
The importance of the first Pl Planning
► First impression of SAFe
► Generates a short-term win
► Builds the ART as a team
► Teaches teams about assuming responsibility for planning and delivery
► Creates visibility
► Creates confidence in the commitment of Lean-Agile leaders to the transformation
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
When are the teams formed for the Agile Release Train (ART)?
• Before the ART is launched but can be changed or adjusted if needed during the launch
• As soon as the team members are hired
• During the Lean Portfolio Management workshop while identifying portfolio flow
During the Value Stream and ART Identification Workshop
What is Business Agility?
• The ability to compete and thrive in the digital age by quickly responding to market changes
and emerging opportunities with innovative business Solutions.
• A customer-centric approach to defining, building, and releasing a continuous flow of
valuable products and services to customers and users.
• How Lean-thinking people and Agile Teams optimize their business processes, evolve strategy
with clear and decisive new commitments, and quickly adapt the organization as needed to
capitalize on new opportunities.
, • Applying Lean-Agile principles and practices to the specification, development, deployment,
operation, and evolution of the world’s largest and most sophisticated systems.
Why is it important the SAFe Program Consultant (SPC) supports the Release Train Engineer (RTE)
in the first problem-solving workshop?
• To make sure senior management voices are prioritized
• To maximize the items for improvement for the first Program Increment (PI)
• To give the Agile Release Train (ART) the tools it needs to improve its performance To
make sure program-level items are addressed
A problem-solving workshop focuses the Agile Release Train (ART) to take what action?
• To identify the root causes of the problems
• To deliver the Program Increment (PI) System Demo
• To build the Continuous Delivery Pipeline
• To build an Architectural Runway
What is an IP Iteration anti-pattern?
• Identify opportunities for innovation spikes or hackathons
• Identify infrastructure improvements
• Plan work for the PI Iteration during PI Planning
• Allow for cadence-based planning
How can a Scrum Master support a Problem-Solving Workshop?
• By providing facilitation to breakout groups focused on specific problems
• By estimating the work effort required to implement recommended improvements
• By coaching the Release Train Engineer on managing the event
• By acting as a process coach to the teams and providing the right answers
The House of Lean is a classic metaphor describing the mindset essential for Lean thinking. Which
one of the four pillars advocates a 'Go See' mindset?
• Flow
• Relentless improvement
• Innovation
• Respect for people and culture
What is an example of applying cadence-based synchronization in SAFe?
• Teams decide their own Iteration length
• Teams allow batch sizes across multiple intervals
• Teams meet twice every Program Increment (PI) to plan and schedule capacity
• Teams align their Iterations to the same schedule to support communication, coordination,
and system integration
, A new Agile Release Train (ART) is formed and Lee is the new coach. All members of the train are
new to Agile. After three Iterations Lee is hearing that many of the teams are having problems
running their team events. What can she do to assist the teams?
• Attend as many events as possible in the next Program Increment (PI) and attend more in the
following PIs
• Participate in the release management meeting to understand possible problems
• Immediately run another SAFe for Teams training to realign the teams around the SAFe
events
• Attend the Iteration Retrospectives as this will give her the most opportunity to help the
teams
Why does a SAFe Program Consultant (SPC) provide ongoing program consulting and team
coaching?
• To build the program's ability to get more work in process (WIP)
• To enable the teams to release independent of the business
• To build the organization's Lean-Agile capabilities
• To help the teams remove the need for Architectural Runway
Why is the first Program Increment (PI) the most crucial to facilitate?
• Existing team, program, and organizational impediments become highly visible
• The Vision is not in place yet
• Management needs to get used to releasing to production after every PI
• There is no Lean-Agile Center of Excellence (LACE) at this stage
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Why might an organization choose to create a platform Agile Release Train (ART)?
• To reduce dependencies
• To align with existing organizational structure
• To accelerate value delivery
• To support architectural robustness
Splitting Large Value Streams into Multiple ARTs
Large development value streams are very common in large enterprises and often some additional
analysis is required.
In the case where many people are needed to deliver a single solution, it works best when teams
work together while developing features and components that have high degrees of
interdependence. This leads to the relatively common pattern of organizing ARTs around ‘feature
areas’ or subsystems.
• Feature area ARTs are optimized for flow and speed. In this case, individual teams on the
train, and the entire train itself can deliver end-to-end features. The benefit is obvious, and
that’s why they’re preferred. But pay attention to subsystem governance, or else the system
architecture will decay, ultimately reducing velocity. Often, a system architect (one or more
individuals, or even a small team) is dedicated to maintaining architectural integrity.
• Subsystem ARTs applications, components, platforms, and so on, are optimized for
architectural robustness and reuse of subsystems and services. Again, the benefit is obvious,
as this can increase development and reuse efficiencies. However, depending on the
