The SAFe Large Solution Integration and Delivery (LSID) Assessment
Each assessment below describes a set of knowledge, skills, and techniques required to achieve mastery in an area of Large Solution Integration and Delivery. They provide the necessary information, learning resources, and practical application guidance needed to support success. These competencies represent the most up-to-date understanding of the Large Solution Integration and Delivery Discipline. As new ways of working emerge, the competencies will evolve over time.
Coordinating Large Solution Delivery
We struggle to coordinate and deliver value across multiple teams, specialists, and suppliers to deliver integrated products and systems.
Coming soon...
Organizing Around Value for Large Solutions
The larger the projects and the more systems involved, the slower we are at delivering them, and the more deadlines we miss.
Coming soon...
Large Solution Architecture
We lack alignment across system architectures, preventing ongoing changes and risking inconsistencies and duplicate efforts across teams.
Coming soon...
Solution Vision and Roadmapping
Ineffective prioritization is causing significant delays and misalignment, hindering our ability to be responsive to change.
Coming soon...
Supplier Collaboration
Our suppliers are not effectively integrated into our innovation and delivery process for mutual benefit.
Coming soon...
Sample Questions
Lean Solution and Systems Engineering
System architecture supports frequent change and independent development by teams.
Lean Solution and Systems Engineering
Models, simulations, and test doubles accelerate development, testing, integration, and learning.
Lean Solution and Systems Engineering
Compliance activities are performed in small batches and automated in the continuous delivery pipeline.
Coordinate Trains and Suppliers
Solution Train Engineers (STEs) facilitate events to ensure coordination.
Coordinate Trains and Suppliers
Suppliers align roadmaps, continuously integrate assets, and actively participate in Solution Train events.
Coordinate Trains and Suppliers
End-to-end solution integration occurs frequently, at least every Program Increment (PI).
Continually Evolve Live Systems
Systems are deployed with minimum viable functionality and evolve based on user needs.
Continually Evolve Live Systems
Teams build the Continuous Delivery Pipeline (CDP) and solution in tandem.
Continually Evolve Live Systems
The CDP enables continuous deployment without requiring immediate release to end users.
Why Use the SAFe LSID Assessment?
Lean Systems Engineering
Assess the application of Lean principles to systems engineering, focusing on flexible specifications, continuous integration, and collaboration with suppliers.
Efficient Coordination
Measure the proficiency of solution trains in aligning Agile Release Trains (ARTs) and suppliers for synchronized and efficient large-scale solution development.
Continuous Evolution
Understand how effectively your organization evolves live systems using continuous delivery, minimum viable functionality, and on-demand release capabilities.
Enable Large-Scale Agility
The SAFe LSID Assessment supports enterprises in achieving Agile excellence across highly complex systems, where Lean principles enable adaptable and continuous value delivery.
Identify Key Improvement Areas
The assessment questions provide insight into areas such as system architecture, compliance, and supplier collaboration, all critical for scaling Agile practices.
Support Continuous Delivery
Organizations can measure the effectiveness of their Continuous Delivery Pipeline (CDP), ensuring the ability to deliver, integrate, and release value on demand.
