SAFe Lean-Agile Principles - 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
10. Organize around value
Take an economic view - SAFe Lean-Agile principle #1. Base your decisions on economics. The goal is to
optimize the time from concept to cash.
Apply systems thinking - SAFe Lean-Agile Principle #2. Everyone must understand the larger aim of the
system to improve development.
Assume variability; preserve options - SAFe Lean-Agile Principle #3. Maintain multiple requirements and
design options for a longer period in the development cycle and then use empirical data to narrow the
focus
Build incrementally with fast, integrated learning cycles - SAFe Lean-Agile Principle #4. Develop solutions
incrementally in a series of short iterations to allow for faster customer feedback and mitigate risks.
Base milestones on objective evaluation of working systems - SAFe Lean-Agile Principle #5. Integration
points provide objective milestones at which to evaluate the solution throughout the development life
cycle
, Visualize and limit WIP, reduce batch sizes, and manage queue lengths - SAFe Lean-Agile Principle #6.
Increases throughout and limits demand to actual capacity, facilitated fast and more reliable flow, and
reduces wait times for new functionality
Apply cadence, synchronize with cross-domain planning - SAFe Lean-Agile Principle #7. Creates
predictability and provides a rhythm for development and causes multiple perspectives to be
understood, resolved, and integrated at the same time
Unlock the intrinsic motivation of knowledge workers - SAFe Lean-Agile Principle #8. Provide autonomy
and purpose, minimize constraints, create an environment of mutual influence, and better understand
the role of compensation instead of individual incentives are keys to higher levels of employee
engagement
Decentralize decision making - SAFe Lean-Agile Principle #9. Reduces delays, improves product
development flow, enables faster feedback and creates more innovative solutions designed by those
closest to the local knowledge, except for decisions that are strategic, global, infrequent, long-lasting,
and have economies of scale that justify centralized decision making
Organize around value - SAFe Lean-Agile Principle #10. Organize around value to deliver more quickly,
and when market and customer demands change, the enterprise must quickly and seamlessly
reorganize around that new value flow
Epic - Container for a significant solution development initiative that captures the more substantial
investments that occur within a portfolio. Require the definition of a minimum viable product and
approval by lean portfolio management before implementation
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.
Agile Manifesto - Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
