  1. What are the four core values of SAFe?

    Answer: Alignment, Built-in Quality, Transparency, Program Execution

    SAFe's four Core Values are Alignment, Built-in Quality, Transparency, and Program Execution, forming the backbone of the framework.

  2. In SAFe, 'Built-in Quality' means:

    Answer: Defining and applying quality standards at every step of development

    Built-in Quality means every team member is responsible for quality at every stage, preventing defects rather than detecting them later.

  3. Which of the following is NOT one of the SAFe Lean-Agile Principles?

    Answer: Measure velocity as the primary metric

    SAFe does not list 'Measure velocity as the primary metric' as a principle; SAFe focuses on business outcomes, flow metrics, and value delivery.

  4. What does the SAFe principle 'Apply cadence, synchronize with cross-domain planning' help organizations achieve?

    Answer: Predictability and coordination across multiple teams and domains

    Cadence and synchronization create a predictable rhythm that enables multiple teams across domains to plan, integrate, and deliver together.

  5. SAFe's 'Lean Portfolio Management' is primarily concerned with:

    Answer: Aligning strategy to execution through portfolio-level governance and funding

    Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) connects business strategy to execution by governing the flow of value through the portfolio with Lean budgets.

  6. The term 'guardrails' in SAFe's Lean Portfolio Management refers to:

    Answer: Policies that guide decentralized decision-making within boundaries

    Guardrails are lightweight governance policies that allow decentralized decisions while keeping spending and strategy aligned with portfolio intent.
