Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A philosophy poster next to the same licensing bottleneck is decoration. Systems thinking shows up in WIP caps, which approvals pile up, and what the ART pays people to optimize. Change those knobs or it stays a slogan.
Full Explanation
SAFe systems thinking is operational: how WIP policies, dependency design, and incentives interact to produce licensing lead time. Raising WIP, adding gates, and rewarding local utilization are concrete system choices that create queues. Training sessions, essays, and homepage statements leave those choices untouched. The RTE applies the principle to the policies in force so DMV flow can actually change.
