SAFe® 4.5术语表中文版（二）

Scaled Agile Framework® Terms and Definitions Summary

Agile Architecture: Agile Architecture combines a set of values and practices that allow for the continuous evolution of system design and architecture alongside the implementation of new capabilities. David highlights that Agile Architecture involves intentional upfront design along with targeted design for particular features within each iteration to avoid over-design and minimize rework.

Agile Release Train (ART): ART is a long-lived team of Agile teams that incrementally develop and deliver solutions within a Program Increment (PI) timebox. It ensures alignment of teams to a common business and technology mission. David describes ART as the embodiment of large-scale agility within SAFe, similar to other scalability frameworks, focused on value delivery by a large team around a product/system.

Agile Team: The SAFe Agile Team is a cross-functional group responsible for delivering solution value within a short Iteration timebox. The team comprises Dev Team, Scrum Master, and Product Owner roles. David explains that the team structure follows Scrum's organization and is characteristic of feature teams that focus on delivering valuable user stories.

Architectural Runway: The Architectural Runway includes existing code, components, and technical infrastructure necessary for implementing near-term features without significant redesign or delay. David notes that it consists of code that should be completed within the current iteration to avoid rework and allow for the progression of business functionality in subsequent iterations.

Built-In Quality: Built-in Quality practices ensure that every solution element meets quality standards at every increment during the development process. David mentions that Built-in Quality is one of the core values in SAFe, emphasizing early quality assurance practices adapted from Extreme Programming.

Business Owners: Business Owners are stakeholders with primary responsibility for governance, compliance, and ROI of a Solution developed by an ART. David stresses the importance of their role in aligning leadership with lean-agile thinking and guiding the direction of product development.
