About these flashcards

Diese Lernkarten vermitteln Grundlagen und Praktiken für die Rollen des Product Owners (PO) und Product Managers (PM) im SAFe-Framework. Sie decken zentrale Aspekte wie die Zusammenarbeit mit Agile Teams, die Priorisierung von Features und Backlog-Inhalten sowie die Planung von Program Increments (PI) ab. Zudem werden Methoden wie WSJF, INVEST und die kontinuierliche Lieferkette (Continuous Delivery Pipeline) thematisiert. Besonders relevant ist dies für PO/PM sowie Agile Teams, die in skalierten Umgebungen arbeiten und durch strukturierte Prozesse Wertschöpfung und Ausrichtung auf die Vision sicherstellen wollen.

How do SAFe Continuous Delivery Pipeline activities map to the teams' work each Iteration within the Program Pincrement (PI)?

Features are explored in one PI, given to the teams in later PIs for integrating and deploying, and then released in a future PI

Each Iteration in the PI, teams are exploring, integrating, deploying, and potentially releasing new value

Each Iteration in the PI, teams are exploring, integrating, deploying, but releasing only occurs at the end of the PI

Early Iterations focus on exploring, the later Iterations focus on integrating and deploying and releasing
