SAFE DevOps Practitioner (SDP) Practice Exam

What happens in the "Implementing" phase of the Program Kanban?

1. Features are analyzed for business benefit

2. Top features are developed and integrated

3. Testing and validation occur for prepared features

4. New feature requests are gathered

The correct answer is: Top features are developed and integrated

In the "Implementing" phase of the Program Kanban, the focus is on taking the prioritized features that have been identified in earlier phases and developing them into functional software. This means that the highest priority features, which have already been analyzed for their business benefit and prepared for implementation, are actively coded and integrated into the existing product or system. The emphasis during this phase is on executing the development work, ensuring that teams are delivering the defined and refined features. It’s about transforming the conceptual work done previously (like analysis and prioritization) into tangible products that can deliver value to end users. This is a critical stage in the Agile framework where collaboration among team members occurs to ensure that the development aligns with the expectations laid out during the planning phases. By developing and integrating these top features, organizations can adapt to market needs effectively and respond to stakeholder feedback more dynamically, driving ongoing improvement in their products and services.
