8. SAFe Principles
SAFe is based on nine immutable, underlying Lean and Agile
principles. These are the fundamental tenets, basic truths and
economic underpinnings that drive the roles and practices that
make SAFe effective.

4.Build incrementally with fast, integrated learning cycles
5.Base milestones on objective evaluation of working systems

8.Unlock the intrinsic motivation of knowledge workers
9.Decentralize decision-making
