Milestone 8

SAFe 6.0 Full and Essential templates

SAFe 6.0 Full and Essential templates are now available to establish a portfolio, large solution, ART, and team-level tooling environment.

The following changes are done:

• Added new work item types to add support for strategic alignment, lean budgeting, and objectives and key results (OKRs).
• Updated retrospective workflow to include reviewed state to the implementation state group.
• Added new lean portfolio management plan type.
• Updated terminology to align with SAFe 6.0 recommendations.The following artifacts are updated to reflect the changes in terminology recommended by SAFe® 6.0:
  • Values of scope enumeration
  • Plan type and view names
  • Work item templates
  • Timelines
  • Updated roles and permissions to empower teams and clarify responsibilities
  Note: In SAFe® 6.0, the following terminology changes are introduced:

  • Program increment with planning interval
  • Solution with solution train
  • Program with ART
  • Solution epic with solution train epic
  • Program epic with ART epic

Note: These templates are different than the SAFe 6.0 templates for Engineering Lifecycle Management available on Jazz.net because the templates provided in Engineering Workflow Management 7.1 contain minor updates to work item templates and process descriptions.

Note: In this milestone, the predefined lifecycle project templates are not updated to use SAFe 6.0 templates. You must manually create an application project area by using the individual application SAFe 6.0 project template and establish the required associations.

For more information, see Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) 6.0 Essential process template and Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) 6.0 Full process template.
