The open-data ART celebrates only green metrics at Inspect and Adapt and hides missed PI objectives. Which move honors the SAFe core value of transparency?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Hiding the red on the open-data ART is like publishing only the sunny weather. Transparency means actuals, including misses. Green-only slides starve Inspect and Adapt of the truth.
Full Explanation
Transparency requires showing actuals, including missed PI objectives. An open-data ART that celebrates only green metrics and hides misses cannot inspect reality. The Scrum Master / Team Coach surfaces misses so problem-solving addresses truth. Private director briefings about slips while the room sees green dashboards violate SAFe’s transparency value.
Keeping the green dashboard and discussing slips only privately splits truth by audience. Recoloring missed objectives to green so morale stays high falsifies data. Omitting measurement to celebrate velocity avoids uncomfortable facts.
Exam caveat: transparency includes bad news in the I&A room. Operational check: show open-data objective results as actual versus plan, green and red, before selecting problems.
Municipal ARTs feel Inspect and Adapt choices as safer shelter intake, fairer elections, cleaner water data, and clearer permits for the public. Keep facilitation transparent, include the whole Agile Team, and verify improvement items enter real backlogs with owners and check dates. After the event, confirm the next iteration planning agenda references the agreed experiments so civic delivery actually changes. Re-check service metrics at the agreed date.
