They help to prevent bottlenecks, reduce waste, improve flow, and increase quality and predictability. WIP limits are applied at every level of the SAFe framework, from the portfolio to the team, to optimize the value delivery123

I vaguely remember something about managing non-functional requirements, but it feels like that’s not the main use of Kanban boards. So, I’m leaning towards A.

I think managing PI Objectives is important, but I don't recall Kanban boards being specifically for that. Maybe D is a distraction?

I'm a little confused on this one. Is it about using Kanban boards to manage individual performance, or for the overall program? I'll have to review my notes on how Kanban integrates with the SAFe model.

Okay, I've got it! Kanban boards in SAFe are used to manage the work in progress (WIP) across the different teams and value streams. That helps keep the flow of work moving efficiently. I'm confident that's the right answer.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know Kanban boards are used in Agile, but I'm not certain how they fit into the SAFe framework specifically. I'll have to think this through a bit more.

Hold up, is this a trick question? I bet the answer is 'D) All of the above' because SAFe loves to make everything as complex as possible.
