The program predictability measure is the primary metric used during the quantitative measurement
part of the Inspect and Adapt (I&A) event in SAFe. This measure assesses how reliably the Agile
Release Train (ART) can deliver business value within the Program Increment (PI) timebox. It helps to:
Evaluate the team's ability to meet their commitments.
Identify areas where predictability can be improved.
Ensure that the business value planned for the PI is actually delivered.
By focusing on the predictability of business value, organizations can better align their planning and
execution efforts, ultimately enhancing customer satisfaction and achieving strategic goals more
effectively.
