Which of the following is a SAFe core value?

• A. Customer focus
• B. Alignment
• C. Team autonomy
• D. Delivery speed

Answer: (B)

Alignment across all teams and ARTs is what keeps SAFe synchronized, ensuring plans, roadmaps, and backlogs point in the same direction so everyone works toward the same outcomes. This shared view supports PI planning, dependency management, and faster, more predictable delivery, helping the organization realize value with less waste and rework. SAFe lists Alignment as one of its core values, alongside Built-in Quality, Transparency, and Program Execution, and it directly connects strategic intent with day-to-day delivery across the enterprise. The other options reflect important agile attributes, but they aren’t SAFe core values: customer focus is a stakeholder concern, team autonomy is a practice within teams, and delivery speed is an outcome rather than a value.
