Explanation:
Explanation:
The Portfolio canvas is a tool that helps define the value streams, solutions, customers, budgets, and other key aspects of a SAFe portfolio. One of the inputs to the Portfolio canvas is the Enterprise Strategy, which describes the vision, mission, goals, and objectives of the organization. The Enterprise Strategy provides the context and direction for the portfolio vision, which in turn guides the identification and prioritization of portfolio epics and value streams. The Enterprise Strategy also influences the allocation of lean budgets and the alignment of strategic themes across the portfolio.

Question 14
What is one approach to unlock the intrinsic motivation of knowledge workers?
Options:
A.
Centralize decision-making
B.
Provide autonomy
C.
Reduce work in process (WIP) limits
D.
Strive to achieve a state of continuous flow
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Explanation:
Providing autonomy is one approach to unlock the intrinsic motivation of knowledge workers. Autonomy means giving knowledge workers the freedom and responsibility to make decisions about their work, such as how to do it, when to do it, and who to do it with. Autonomy fosters a sense of ownership, empowerment, and self-determination, which are essential for creativity and innovation. Autonomy also supports the Lean-Agile principle of decentralizing decision-making, which enables faster and better outcomes. SAFe provides several mechanisms to enable autonomy for knowledge workers, such as self-organizing and self-managing Agile teams, ARTs and Solution Trains, Communities of Practice, and Innovation and Planning Iterations.

Question 16
What is an example of applying cadence-based synchronization in SAFe?
Options:
A.
Teams decide their own Iteration length
B.
Teams can only release new software on the same day
C.
Teams meet twice every PI to plan and schedule capacity
D.
Teams align the start and end dates of their Iterations
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Explanation:
Cadence-based synchronization in SAFe means that teams follow a common rhythm of work and coordinate their activities across different domains. One example of applying this principle is to align the start and end dates of the Iterations, which are fixed-length timeboxes for teams to deliver value. This helps teams plan and execute their work in sync with other teams on the Agile Release Train (ART) and the Solution Train, and enables them to participate in the PI Planning and other events that require cross-team collaboration.
