4/5 · Digital Age and Business Agility
A newly trained Lean-Agile Leader stops assigning detailed daily tasks to team members and instead focuses on removing organizational impediments, coaching teams to self-organize, and trusting them to determine how best to accomplish their work. Which aspect of the Lean-Agile Mindset is this leader primarily putting into practice?
AOptimizing the full value stream through Value Stream Mapping
BApplying WSJF to sequence the Program Backlog
CApplying the Agile Manifesto principle of trusting motivated individuals to get the job done, combined with the Lean-thinking practice of respecting people
DEstablishing a Community of Practice to share technical standards
Show answer & explanation
C is correct. The scenario shows a leader shifting from command-and-control to trust-based, servant leadership—an application of both the Agile Manifesto's people-focused principles and the House of Lean's Respect for People and Culture pillar, core to the Lean-Agile Mindset.

Which set correctly names the four SAFe Core Values as defined in SAFe 6.0?
AAlignment, Transparency, Respect for People, Relentless Improvement
BAlignment, Built-in Quality, Transparency, Program Execution
CFlow, Innovation, Relentless Improvement, Respect for People and Culture
DCourage, Focus, Commitment, Openness
Show answer & explanation
A is correct. SAFe 6.0 names four Core Values: Alignment (everyone pulling toward the same objectives), Transparency (facts and mistakes visible so trust can grow), Respect for People (valuing the individuals, partners and long-term relationships that do the work) and Relentless Improvement (a constant sense that the current way of working can be better). The most common wrong answer is the SAFe 5 list, which included Built-in Quality and Program Execution; both concepts still exist in SAFe 6.0, but not as Core Values.
