Cycle Time: In Progress → Done
Throughput: Items completed per week
WIP: Work in progress items

Scaling Agile

SAFe Basics

Team Level: Scrum teams (5-9 people)
Program Level: Multiple teams (50-125 people)
Large Solution: Multiple programs
Portfolio: Business strategy

Cross-Team Coordination

Troubleshooting

Yaygın Hatalar & Çözümler

Hata	Olası Sebep	Çözüm
Sprint overcommitment	Unrealistic capacity	Track velocity, be honest
Carryover stories	Scope creep	Stricter acceptance
Long standups	Too much detail	Time-box, parking lot
No retro action	No ownership	Assign owners, follow up

Debug Checklist

[ ] Sprint goal clearly defined mi?
[ ] Stories properly sized mi?
[ ] WIP limits respected mi?
[ ] Retro actions implemented mi?
[ ] Velocity tracked mi?

Recovery Procedures

Sprint Failure → Retrospective deep-dive, reset
Team Burnout → Reduce scope, add slack time
Velocity Drop → Investigate blockers, 1:1s

Learning Outcomes

Run effective sprints
Write well-formed user stories
Manage backlogs efficiently
Facilitate productive ceremonies
Track and improve velocity
