Explanation

SAFe promotes continuous delivery and recommends releasing products and solutions whenever they meet both business (market) and governance criteria, regardless of iteration or PI boundaries. This enables faster value delivery and more frequent feedback from customers. “The best time to release is whenever the solution meets market opportunity and governance requirements, not necessarily at PI or iteration boundaries.” (Source: SAFe 6.0 Framework: Release on Demand; SPC 6.0 Guide, “Building Solutions with Agile Product Delivery”)
