SAFe provides multiple coordination mechanisms across Value Streams:

Establishing Enterprise architecture (B): Ensures consistency and alignment of technical direction

across Value Streams.

Applying cadence and synchronization (D): Aligns events, releases, and activities, improving

predictability and coordination.

Creating a Portfolio Vision and Roadmap (F): Aligns multiple Value Streams around shared business

outcomes and direction.

Moving teams between Value Streams is discouraged as it disrupts team stability. The Portfolio is

funded as a collection of Value Streams, not instead of them. The Value Stream Engineer role does

not exist in SAFe.

“SAFe coordinates across Value Streams through enterprise architecture, synchronization, and a

common Portfolio Vision and Roadmap.”
