The Spanning Palette is a set of roles and artifacts that may apply across multiple SAFe levels,
including Team, ART, Solution Train, and Portfolio. The Spanning Palette includes functions like
System Architect, Release Management, Shared Services, and more. SAFe explicitly notes that these
elements are used “as needed at each level, including the Team level, depending on context.”
