[All SAFe-SPC Questions]

(Select 3) What are three ways to coordinate across Value Streams?

AMove teams across Value Streams to respond to changing business demands.

BEstablish Enterprise architecture.

CEmpower the Value Stream Engineer to coordinate all teams in the Value Stream.

DApply cadence and synchronization.

EFund the Portfolio, not the Value Streams.

FCreate a Portfolio Vision and Roadmap.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, D, F

SAFe provides multiple coordination mechanisms across Value Streams:

Establishing Enterprise architecture (B): Ensures consistency and alignment of technical direction across Value Streams.

Applying cadence and synchronization (D): Aligns events, releases, and activities, improving predictability and coordination.

Creating a Portfolio Vision and Roadmap (F): Aligns multiple Value Streams around shared business outcomes and direction.

Moving teams between Value Streams is discouraged as it disrupts team stability. The Portfolio is funded as a collection of Value Streams, not instead of them. The Value Stream Engineer role does not exist in SAFe.

''SAFe coordinates across Value Streams through enterprise architecture, synchronization, and a common Portfolio Vision and Roadmap.''

Wait, funding the Portfolio instead of Value Streams? That seems off.

A, D, and F are the way to go. Trying to move teams across Value Streams sounds like a recipe for chaos.

Haha, funding the Portfolio instead of the Value Streams? That's like trying to herd cats with a laser pointer.

I agree with Junita. Empowering the Value Stream Engineer is also a great way to coordinate, but funding the Portfolio is just silly.

A, D, and F are the correct answers. Coordinating across Value Streams is all about aligning teams, synchronizing work, and having a clear vision.

Establishing Enterprise architecture sounds familiar, but I feel like it might be more about structure than coordination.

I remember a practice question about empowering the Value Stream Engineer. That seems like a solid choice, but I can't recall the exact benefits.

A, D, and F for sure. Establishing Enterprise architecture is good, but it's not one of the three main ways to coordinate.
