Design Thinking plays a critical role in driving customer-focused innovation. It provides a structured approach to problem-solving that prioritizes user needs, rapid experimentation, and creative solutions—ensuring that what we build not only works, but works for the customer.

Kanban

In SAFe 6.0 (Scaled Agile Framework), the Portfolio Kanban is a crucial tool used to visualize, manage, and flow portfolio-level epics from ideation through to implementation. It helps Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) teams manage strategy-to-execution alignment and ensure only the most valuable initiatives are funded and pursued.

In SAFe 6.0 (Scaled Agile Framework), the Continuous Delivery Pipeline (CDP) is a key element that enables enterprises to deliver value quickly, frequently, and sustainably. It represents the workflows, activities, and automation needed to deliver a new piece of functionality—from idea to release—into the hands of users.

The Innovation and Planning (IP) Iteration is a dedicated timebox at the end of every Program Increment (PI) in SAFe. It serves multiple purposes, including innovation, PI planning readiness, and process improvements.
