Agile Principles - CORRECT ANSWER
SAFe Lean-Agile Principles - CORRECT ANSWER 1. Take an economic view
2. Apply systems thinking
3. Assume variability; preserve options
4. Build incrementally with fast, integrated learning cycles
5. Base milestones on objective evaluation of working systems
6. Visualize and limit WIP, reduce batch sizes and manage queue lengths
7. Apply cadence, synchronize with cross-domain planning
8. Unlock the intrinsic motivation of knowledge workers
9. Decentralize decision-making
1 Principle- Take an economic view - CORRECT ANSWER Do not consider "Sunk Costs"
If you quantify one thing, quantify the cost of delay
2 Principle- Apply systems thinking - CORRECT ANSWER Optimizing the component does not optimize the system
A system can evolve no faster than its slowest integration point
Focus on the Delays: most problems surface as delays; reducing delays is the fastest way to reduce time to market
3 Principle- Assume variability; preserve options - CORRECT ANSWER requirements must be flexible to make economic design choices
designs must be flexible to support changing requirements
preservation of options improves economic results
4 Build incrementally with fast, integrated learning cycles - CORRECT ANSWER Fast feedback accelerates knowledge
Reduce the cost of risk-taking by truncating unsuccessful paths quickly
5 Base milestones on objective evaluation of working systems - CORRECT ANSWER Program increment (PI) demos are orchestrated to deliver objective progress, product, and process metrics
Objective milestones facilitate learning and allow for continuous, cost-effective adjustments towards an optimum solution
6 Visualize and limit WIP, reduce batch sizes, and manage queue lengths - CORRECT ANSWER reduced batch sizes:
-Increases predictability
-accelerates feedback
-reduces rework
-lowers cost
The most important batch is the handoff batch
Long queues are bad - CORRECT ANSWER Long queues create:
-longer cycle times
-increase risk
-more variability
-lower quality
-less motivation
7 Apply cadence and synchronization - CORRECT ANSWER Cadence-makes waiting times predictable, supports regular planning and cross-functional coordination, limits batch sizes to single interval
Synchronization- facilitates cross-functional tradeoffs, provides routine dependency management
Cadence based planning limits variability to a single interval
Scrum Master - CORRECT ANSWER Coaches the agile team, facilitates team meetings
Removed impediments; protects the team from outside influence
Product Owner - CORRECT ANSWER Defines and accepts stories
Acts as customer for developers
Works with product management to plan PIs
Prioritizes team backlog [Show Less]
