The Taxonomy of SAFe

In the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), the Agile Release Train(ART) is a long-lived piece of work, usually around 12 months, focused on one or more value streams.

The ART is delivered in Program Increments (PI). PIs provide a development timebox (often 12 weeks) to facilitate planning and ultimately delivery of a piece of work (one or more work items).

PI’s are broken into sprints, usually about 5 of them. Each lasting 2 weeks & delivering certain backlogged features.

The Implementation Plan (aka Deployment Plan) is responsible for controlling deployment day activity. Implementation plan are usually driven at Sprint and/or PI Level.

Deployment Tasks may be a mix of manual tasks, automated tasks or hybrid. These ultimately resulted in the Release Unit being deployed to the Production Environment.

Holistic TDM

A framework that describes the broader needs of Test Data Management (TDM). There is a lot more to TDM than simply Extract, Transform & Load (ETL) and you need to consider the data consumers as much as those doing the provisioning. In a nutshell you should be creating Test Data Management frameworks that support Requirements, Data Profiling, Data Masking, Data Fabrication, Data Provisioning, Data Mining, Reservation and of course Status Accounting & Compliance Reporting.

Data Validation

Data validation is a critical aspect encompassing quality, security & compliance in organizations. However, it presents certain challenges. These include (1) managing multiple databases, (2) dealing with outdated data, (3) time-consuming processes, (4) fragmented data sources, (5) lack of automated tools, skills and expertise, senior stakeholder engagement, and proving immediate ROI. To address these challenges, organizations should focus on developing an enterprise-wide strategy for data validation, encompassing both quality and security measures. Leveraging cloud technology can ensure seamless access to test data while integrating automated validation processes with CI/CD pipelines. By prioritizing these efforts, organizations can enhance data quality, bolster security, and drive better outcomes in their operations.
