This statement is one of the four values of the Agile Manifesto, which is a foundational document for the Agile movement and the SAFe framework. The value emphasizes the importance of working closely with the customers and stakeholders to deliver value and meet their needs, rather than relying on rigid and formal contracts that may not reflect the changing requirements and expectations. References: Agile Manifesto, The 4 Values and 12 Principles of the Agile Manifesto, Exam Study Guide: SP (6.0) - SAFe® Practitioner
Question # 5
Which implementation step follows Coach ART Execution on the SAFe Implementation Roadmap?
According to the SAFe Implementation Roadmap1, the step that follows Coach ART Execution is Launch more ARTs and Value Streams. This step involves identifying and launching additional ARTs and Value Streams that are needed to deliver the full solution value. It also involves synchronizing the dependencies and alignment across the ARTs and Value Streams, and establishing Solution Trains to coordinate them. This step is essential to scale up the benefits of SAFe and achieve business agility. References: SAFe Implementation Roadmap, Launch More ARTs and Value Streams, Exam Study Guide: SP (6.0) - SAFe Practitioner
Question # 6
What is an example of a modified Fibonacci sequence?
A modified Fibonacci sequence is a relative estimating number sequence that reflects the inherent uncertainty of the job being estimated. It is based on the original Fibonacci sequence, which is a mathematical series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, starting from 0 and 1. The modified Fibonacci sequence, however, rounds up the larger numbers to avoid questions about why something is 21 instead of 20 or 34 instead of 40. The modified Fibonacci sequence is commonly used in Agile estimation techniques, such as Planning Poker, to assign story points to user stories or other backlog items. The sequence is: 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 20, 40, 100. References: Modified Fibonacci Sequence - Scaled Agile Framework, Fibonacci Agile Estimation: What Is It and Why Does it Work? - Parabol
Question # 7
What are two ways to describe a cross-functional Agile Team?
A.
They can define, build, & test an increment of value.
B.
They are optimized for communication & delivery of value.
C.
They are made up of members, each of whom can define, develop, test, & deploy the system.
D.
They deliver value every six weeks.
E.
They release customer products to production continuously.
 A cross-functional Agile Team is a team that has all the skills and competencies needed to define, build, and test an increment of value in an Iteration. A cross-functional Agile Team is composed of team members who have different roles and expertise, such as developers, testers, analysts, designers, etc. A cross-functional Agile Team is also optimized for communication and delivery of value, as it minimizes the handoffs, dependencies, and delays that may occur when working with other teams or functions. A cross-functional Agile Team is able to collaborate effectively, deliver value frequently, and respond to changing customer needs and feedback. References: Exam Study Guide: SP (6.0) - SAFe® Practitioner, Agile Team
Question # 8
What is critical to successfully implementing quality in a Lean-Agile environment?
 = Making quality everyone’s responsibility is critical to successfully implementing quality in a Lean-Agile environment. This means that all the people involved in creating and delivering value to the customer, from business functions to software applications, share the same quality standards and practices. Quality is not something that can be delegated or outsourced to a separate team or department. It is embedded in the culture, mindset, and behavior of every individual and team. Making quality everyone’s responsibility enables faster feedback, continuous improvement, and higher customer satisfaction12. References: = 1: Built-In Quality - Scaled Agile Framework2; 2: How to Implement Quality in a Lean-Agile Environment Successfully1
