The execution-related competencies are shown on the left, while the competencies that support strategy development are on the right. The Lean-Agile Leadership competency which is the foundation is in the bottom middle. The customer is prominently featured at the center as the focal point for all the competencies. Measure and Grow at the top right is a reminder of the importance of periodic self-assessments to track the organization’s progress towards the principles and practices that enable business agility.
SAFe® Principles and Core Values
SAFe Principles
The SAFe Principles poster lists ten immutable, underlying Lean and Agile principles upon which SAFe is based. These are the fundamental tenets, basic truths, and economic underpinnings that drive the roles and practices that make SAFe effective.
Agile Manifesto
Agile development is the heart of SAFe. While there is no one perfect definition, the Agile Manifesto is the foundational document. It’s four values and twelve principles have withstood the test of time and continue to be the touchstone by which true agility can be judged and recognized.
SAFe Core Values
The four Core Values of alignment, transparency, respect for people, and relentless improvement represent the foundational beliefs that are key to SAFe’s effectiveness. These tenets help guide the behaviors and actions of everyone participating in a SAFe portfolio. Those in positions of authority can help the rest of the organization embrace these ideals by exemplifying these values in their words and actions.
SAFe Flow Accelerators
Each flow property is subject to optimizations, and often many steps encounter unnecessary delays, bottlenecks, and other impediments to flow. Making value flow without interruptions can best be achieved by adopting the eight flow accelerators
described in this article. These powerful accelerators of value are relevant to all Framework levels, but the challenges differ for each.
