What are the SAFe Core Values?

The Scaled Agile Framework is built upon four Core Values: Alignment, Built-in Quality, Transparency, and Program Execution. These values guide the behavior and decision-making of everyone in a SAFe enterprise. Alignment ensures everyone is working towards a common goal. Built-in Quality reduces rework and increases velocity. Transparency builds trust and is essential for effective, decentralized decision-making. Program Execution is the ultimate measure of success, focusing on consistently delivering value. These values are fundamental to achieving the benefits of Lean-Agile development at scale.

A. Code Quality is part of Built-in Quality, and Fast Feedback is a principle, but Trust and Alignment alone do not represent the complete set of core values.
B. These concepts are important in Agile but do not match the four specific SAFe Core Values. Responding to Change is a value from the Agile Manifesto.
C. Commitment is a Scrum value. Competency and Collocation are beneficial team attributes but are not listed as one of the four SAFe Core Values.
