Questions and Answers Already Graded
A
Agile Architecture ✔✔Agile architecture is a set of values and practices that support the active
evolution of the design and
architecture of a system, concurrent with the implementation of new business functionality. With
this
approach, the architecture of a system, even a large one, evolves over time while simultaneously
supporting the needs of current users. This avoids Big Up-Front Design (BUFD) and the starting
and
stopping of stage-gated methods.
Agile Release Train (ART) ✔✔A long-lived and cross-functional team-of-Agile-teams, which
along with other stakeholders, develops and delivers solutions incrementally, using a series of
fixed-length Iterations within a Program Increment (PI) timebox. Aligns teams to a common
business and technology mission.
Agile Team ✔✔A cross-functional group of five to ten people who have the ability and authority
to define, build, and test some element of Solution value—all in a short Iteration timebox.
Specifically, it incorporates the DevTeam, Scrum Master, and Product Owner roles.
Architectural Runway ✔✔existing code, hardware components, etc., that technically enable nearterm business features
Built-in Quality ✔✔Practices that ensure that each Solution element, at every increment, meets
appropriate quality standards throughout development.
Business Owners ✔✔A small group of stakeholders who have the primary business and technical
responsibility for governance, compliance, and Return on Investment for a Solution developed by
an Agile Release Train (ART). They are key stakeholders on the ART who must evaluate fitness
for use and actively participate in certain ART events.
CapEx and OpEx ✔✔Capital Expenses and Operating Expenses describe Lean-Agile financial
accounting practices in a Value Stream budget. In some cases, CapEx may include capitalized
labor associate with the development of intangible assets - such as software, intellectual property,
and patents
Capabilities ✔✔A higher-level solution behavior that typically spans multiple ARTs. Capabilities
are sized and split into multiple features so that they can be implemented in a single PI.
Community of Practice (CoP) ✔✔An organized group of people with common interests 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.
Compliance ✔✔A strategy and set of activities and artifacts that allow teams to apply Lean-Agile
development methods to build systems that have the highest possible possible quality, while
simultaneously assuring they meet any regulatory, industry, or relevant standards.
Continuous Delivery Pipeline ✔✔CD Pipeline (also referred to as 'pipeline') represents the
workflows, activities, and automation needed to provide a continuous release of value to the end
user.
Continuous Deployment (CD) ✔✔The process that takes validated Features from Continuous
Integration and deploys them into the production environment, where they are tested and readied
for release. It is the third element in the four-part Continuous Delivery Pipeline of Continuous
Exploration (CE), Continuous Integration (CI), Continuous Deployment, and Release on Demand.
Continuous Exploration (CE) ✔✔The process of constantly exploring market and user needs, and
defining a Vision, Roadmap, and set of Features that address those needs. It is the first element in
the four-part Continuous Delivery Pipeline, preceding Continuous Integration (CI) Continuous
Deployment (CD), and Release on Demand.
Continuous Integration (CI) ✔✔The process of taking features from the Program Backlog and
developing, testing, integrating, and validating them in a staging environment where they are ready
for deployment and release. It is the second element in the four-part Continuous Delivery Pipeline.
Core Values ✔✔The Four Core Values of alignment, Built-In Quality, transparency, and program
execution represent the fundamental beliefs that are key to SAFE's effectiveness. These guiding
principles represent the fundamental beliefs that are key to SAFe's effectiveness. These guiding
principles help dictate behavior and action for ev
