SAFe PrinciplesSAFe is based on nine immutable, underlying Lean and Agile principles. These are the fundamental tenets, basic truths and economic underpinnings that drive the roles and practices that make SAFe effective. 1.Take an economic view 2.Apply systems thinking 3.Assume variability; preserve options 4.Build incrementally with fast, integrated learning cycles 5.Base milestones on objective evaluation of working systems 6.Visualize and limit WIP, reduce batch sizes, & manage queue lengths 7.Apply cadence, synchronise with cross-domain planning 8.Unlock the intrinsic motivation of knowledge workers 9.Decentralize decision-making
