SAFe® 5 DevOps Certification Continuous Exploration 2

Question 1

What is the first step in hypothesis-driven development within SAFe?

Accepted Answer

Define a testable hypothesis about customer behavior or need

Hypothesis-driven development begins with formulating a testable hypothesis about what customers need or how they will behave.

Question 2

A SAFe team runs an A/B test on a new feature to see which version drives more engagement. This is an example of what?

Accepted Answer

Answer

A/B testing is a classic hypothesis validation experiment that compares two variants to determine which better satisfies the hypothesis.

Question 3

Which SAFe DevOps principle supports running small experiments to reduce risk before committing to a full feature rollout?

Accepted Answer

Fast feedback loops through experimentation

Answer

Fast feedback loops through small, cheap experiments reduce risk by validating assumptions before full investment is made.

Question 4

What does 'validated learning' mean in the context of SAFe Continuous Exploration?

Accepted Answer

Gaining empirical evidence that confirms or refutes what customers actually want

Answer

Validated learning means using real user data and experiments to confirm or refute hypotheses about customer needs with empirical evidence.

Question 5

In SAFe, a 'pivot' decision during Continuous Exploration typically means the team will:

Accepted Answer

A pivot in SAFe means changing strategy or approach based on empirical evidence gathered from hypothesis testing, not abandonment.
