SAFe Core Values are the fundamental beliefs that guide behaviors and decision-making in SAFe
(Scaled Agile Framework). They are critical for fostering a culture that supports Lean-Agile principles.
Transparency:
Definition: Transparency in SAFe means having an open and honest environment where everyone has
access to the information they need. It involves making work visible to all stakeholders, sharing risks,
and ensuring that everyone understands the status of the work.
Importance: Transparency enables trust across the Agile Release Train (ART) because it ensures that
everyone is aware of what is happening, leading to informed decision-making and reducing
misunderstandings. It builds a culture of openness and accountability.
SAFe Framework Reference: In SAFe, transparency is crucial for effective collaboration and alignment
across teams and stakeholders. It ensures that progress, challenges, and changes are communicated
openly, fostering trust and collective problem-solving.
SAFe Scrum Master Reference:
SAFe training materials emphasize the importance of transparency as a core value that underpins
trust and collaboration within and across teams.
The SAFe website and guides detail how transparency is implemented through various practices like
visual management, open communication, and regular feedback loops.
