A development value stream typically consists of one or more ARTs and Solution Trains that build and deliver solutions. A SAFe portfolio aligns and governs one or more development value streams that share a common business mission, vision, strategy, and funding. A SAFe portfolio helps enterprises achieve Lean Portfolio Management, which is one of the core competencies of business agility in SAFe. References: SAFe Portfolio, Development Value Streams

NEW QUESTION # 19
Which SAFe Lean-Agile Principle includes an emphasis on "deliver early and often"?
- A. Build incrementally with fast, integrated learning cycles
- B. Make value flow without interruptions
- C. Organize around value
- D. Take an economic view
Answer: D
Explanation:
According to the SAFe Agilist 6.0 domain of Apply SAFe Principles, this principle is the first Lean-Agile Principle and it describes how to make decisions based on economics1. One of the practices essential to achieving optimum economic outcomes is to deliver early and often, which means moving new system features through the development value stream as quickly as possible1. This practice has a direct economic benefit, as it enables faster feedback, higher value, and lower risk1. You can read more about this principle and practice in this article, under the section "Deliver early and often".

NEW QUESTION # 21
Whattype of thinking allows the Customer to pull value from the producer?
- A. Customer-centric
- B. Systems
- C. Design
- D. Lean
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
Lean thinking is the type of thinking that allows the customer to pull value from the producer. Lean thinking is a philosophy and a set of principles and practices that aim to eliminate waste and optimize value delivery. Pull is a concept that means that nothing is built or delivered until there is a demand for it from the customer or the next process. Pull helps reduce overproduction, inventory, and waiting, and ensures that only valuable work is done. References: Thriving in the Digital Age, SAFe Principle #1
NEW QUESTION # 22
The analyzing step of the Portfolio Kanban system has a new Epic with a completed Lean business case.
What best describes the next step for the Epic?
- A. It will be implemented if it has the highest weighted shortest job first (WSJF) ranking
- B. It will be implemented once the Epic Owner approves the Lean business case
- C. It will remain in the analyzing step until one or more Agile Release Trains have the capacity to implement it
- D. It will be moved to the ready state in the Portfolio Kanban if it receives a 'go' decision from Lean Portfolio Management
Answer: D
Explanation:
The next step for an epic with a completed Lean business case in the analyzing step of the Portfolio Kanban is to move it to the ready state if it receives a 'go' decision from Lean Portfolio Management. The analyzing step is where the epic hypothesis statement and the Lean business case are developed and validated. The Lean business case provides the economic justification, assumptions, risks, and potential benefits of the epic. The Lean Portfolio Management is the authority that reviews and approves the Lean business case and decides whether to fund and implement the epic or not. If the epic receives a 'go' decision, it moves to the ready state, where it waits for implementation capacity. If the epic receives a 'no go' decision, it is either deferred or cancelled. References: Portfolio Kanban, Lean Portfolio Management

NEW QUESTION # 25
Which SAFe Lean-Agile Principle includes the critical part of "delaying decisions to the last responsible moment"?
- A. Build incrementally with fast, integrated learning cycles
- B. Make value flow without interruptions
- C. Base milestones on objective evaluation of working systems
- D. Assume variability; preserve options
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
The SAFe Lean-Agile Principle that includes the critical part of "delaying decisions to the last responsible moment" is "Assume variability; preserve options". This principle is based on the concept of set-based design, which is a way of managing uncertainty and complexity in product development. Set-based design means exploring multiple possible solutions in parallel, eliminating inferior options over time, and converging on the best solution as more information becomes available. Delaying decisions to the last responsible moment means keeping multiple options open until enough data and feedback are gathered to make an informed decision, which reduces risk and waste. References: SAFe Lean-Agile Principles, SAFe Principle #4
NEW QUESTION # 26
Which statement is true about batch size?
- A. Large batch sizes increase variability
- B. When Stories are broken into tasks, it means there are small batch sizes
- C. The handoff batch should be made as large as possible
- D. Large batch sizes ensure time for built-in quality
Answer: A
Explanation:
This statement is true about batch size. Batch size is the amount of work that moves as a unit through a process or system. Large batch sizes increase variability by creating more uncertainty, complexity, dependencies, and unpredictability in the workflow. Large batch sizes also increase waste by causing delays, queues, handoffs, rework, overproduction, and inventory accumulation. Reducing batch size is one of the key ways to optimize value delivery and improve flow efficiency. References: SAFe Lean-Agile Principles, SAFe Principle #5
NEW QUESTION # 27
Deploy, verify, monitor, and respond are all activities of what?
- A. Release on Demand
- B. Continuous Deployment
- C. Continuous Integration
- D. Continuous Exploration
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
Deploy, verify, monitor, and respond are all activities of Continuous Deployment. Continuous Deployment is one of the elements of the Continuous Delivery Pipeline, which is a key enabler of Agile Product Delivery.
Continuous Deployment means automatically releasing every update to a production environment or a staging environment that is identical to production. Continuous Deployment involves four activities: deploy (releasing the solution to the target environment); verify (ensuring that the solution meets the quality standards and acceptance criteria); monitor (collecting feedback and data on the solution performance and usage); and respond (taking actions to improve or fix the solution based on the feedback and data).

NEW QUESTION # 33
What is the focus of Lean Thinking?
- A. Moving to an iterative development process
- B. Reducing delays
- C. Implementing objective measures of progress
- D. Ensuring respect for people and culture
Answer: B
Explanation:
Reducing delays is the focus of Lean thinking. Lean thinking is a philosophy and a set of principles and practices that aim to eliminate waste and optimize value delivery. Waste is anything that does not directly contribute to customer value or that causes delays in delivering value. Delays are the primary cause of waste, as they increase inventory, risk, variability, overhead, and dissatisfaction. Reducing delays means minimizing the time between customer need and value delivery, which improves quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

NEW QUESTION # 34
Why is it important to decouple deployment from release?
- A. To make deploying of assets a business decision
- B. To remove the need to respond quickly to production issues
- C. To allow inspection of Agile maturity based on different cycle times
- D. To enable releasing functionality on demand to meet business needs
Answer: D
Explanation:
SAFe emphasizes:
"Separate deploy to production from release... This enables testing in production before exposing new functionality and makes thetiming of the release a business decision." This approach supports business agility by decoupling technical readiness from market timing.
