ToggleA. Large Solution Level
B. Essential Level
C. Team Level
D. Value Stream Level
E. Portfolio Level
The correct answer is
The Inspect and Adapt (I&A) events in the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) occur at the following two levels:
B. Essential Level
A. Large Solution Level
Why these are correct
- Essential Level: The Essential Level in SAFe includes the Team and Program levels, focusing on the basic building blocks of Agile Release Trains (ARTs) and the teams that contribute to them. The Inspect and Adapt event at this level is a significant event that concludes each Program Increment (PI). It serves as a period for the ART to reflect on the past increment, identify areas for improvement, and create an action plan to implement these improvements in the next PI.
- Large Solution Level: The Large Solution Level is designed for developing large and complex solutions that require multiple ARTs and possibly Solution Trains. The Inspect and Adapt event at this level involves a larger-scale reflection and adaptation process that addresses the coordination and challenges of delivering large solutions. It ensures that learning and improvement are applied across the multiple ARTs and Solution Trains involved.
Why the others are not as correct
- Team Level: While teams within SAFe are encouraged to regularly inspect and adapt their processes, the formal I&A event is designed for the program (Essential Level) and Large Solution Level, where multiple teams’ outputs and coordination are inspected and adapted.
- Value Stream Level: The term “Value Stream Level” is not officially used as a distinct level within SAFe for I&A events. The closest relevant levels where I&A events are formally recognized are the Essential and Large Solution Levels, focusing on the program and large solution dynamics.
- Portfolio Level: The Portfolio Level in SAFe focuses on aligning enterprise strategy to execution through Lean Portfolio Management. While continuous reflection and adaptation are principles that apply at the Portfolio Level, the formal Inspect and Adapt event is specifically designed for the Essential and Large Solution Levels, focusing on the delivery of value through ARTs and Solution Trains.
