W. Edwards Deming states that it is su cient that top management commit

themselves for life to quality and productivity and the details of how that is

answer answer
True 0
False 1
Here is the actual quote from Deming
Support of top management is not su cient.
It is not enough that top management commit themselves for life to

quality and productivity. They must know what it is that they are
committed to — that is, what they must do. These obligations cannot be
delegated. Support is not enough: action is required.

in general agile teams can deleiver anywhere between 1-4 weeks and 2 weeks
is common.
But for SAFe the period is xed at 2 weeks because, in SAFe, multiple agile
teams must coordinate and align together, so it is important to have the same

When planning for a team re nement meeting, Allie from operations has agreed
to attend provided she can bring her laptop to monitor critical systems during

outside meetings or put on silent. Allie is not the only person that wants to bring
devices into meetings.
