Whenever I teach a class or tell people about SAFe I always let them know 2 things:
1. All of the principles are sound and amounts to a smooth combination of best practices working together. Many companies are doing a lot of what’s involved because of that.
2. There are a lot of buzzwords. You can just assume you’re putting “lean-agile” in front of anything like they do with “quantum” in movies. It’s exhausting if you don’t let yourself chuckle. Because of it, reading the documentation can be confusing if you haven’t taken a class.
" The more alignment you have, the more autonomy you can grant. The one enables the other.

It has a section "agile release train" which is a literal train! Everybody loves trains. It also has an icon with the text "Built-in quality", so you can sleep soundly knowing that you will not have quality issues anymore.
/s of course, but that image is really something. It's so vague it can be anything you want it to; a middle managers' dream.
