SAFe Scaled Agile For EnterpriseCertification Exam 2022
House of Lean - Goal: Value Foundation: Leadership, Respect for People and
Culture, Development Flow, Innovation, Relentless Improvement
Lean Goal- ANS - Speed, quality, value. sustainably shorted lead time, best quality
and value to people and society, most customer delight, lowest cost, high morale,
safety
Respect for People- ANS - Lean principle, your customer is whoever consumes your
work. Develop individuals and teams, empower teams, build partnerships based on
trust and mutual respect
Kaizen- ANS - Lean principle,. We can do better.Reflection, continuous improvement
as an enterprise value
Leadership- ANS - Lean foundation, management is trained, take responsibility,
develop people
Product development flow- ANS - Lean principle. 1. Take an economic view. 2.
Actively manage queues. 3. Understand and exploit variability. 4. Reduce batch
sizes. 5. Apply WIP constraints. 6. Control flow under uncertainty; cadence and
synchronization. 7. Get feedback as fast as possible. 8. Decentralized control
Take an economic view- ANS - Lean principle of product development flow. #1. Base
your decisions on economics. The goal is to optimize the time from concept to cash
Actively manage queues- ANS - Lean principle of product development flow. #2.
Understand Little's Law. Control wait times by controlling queue lengths
Understand and exploit variability- ANS - Lean principle of product development flow.
#3. Risk taking is central to value creation
Reduce Batch Size- ANS - Lean principle of product development flow. #4. Smaller
batches go through the system faster, with lower variability and risk. Large batch
sizes and high utilization increase variability, causing project slippage. Co-location
and good infrastructure enable small batches
Apply WIP constraints- ANS - Lean principle of product development flow. #5. WIP
constraints force capacity matching, increases flow. Time box, purge lower value
projects when WIP is too high, constrain local WIP pools, make WIP continuously
visible. High WIP and utilization cause reduction throughput
Control flow under uncertainty- ANS - Lean principle of product development flow.
#6. Cadence + Synchronization. Cadence transforms unpredictable events into
predictable events, requires scope or capacity margin, makes waiting times
,predictable, helps manage load by limiting available time. Regular systemwide
integration provides higher fidelity tests and objective solution assessment
Get fast feedback- ANS - Lean principle of product development flow. #7. Product
development is the process of converting uncertainty to knowledge. Fast feedback
accelerates knowledge
Decentralized control- ANS - Lean principle of product development flow. #8.
Centralize control for decisions that are infrequent and can be applied globally, have
significant economies of scale or high-risk. Decentralized control for time critical,
local decisions
Planning is for alignment- ANS - Lean principle of product development flow. #9.
