Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) 5.0 Requirement Management process templates

Requirements management is a key aspect of the SAFe® methodology that takes a systems view of the features that are being delivered, capturing expected behavior, models, wireframes, and related requirements to drive an iterative approach to feature delivery.

This release provides two predefined process templates that support Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) to help you capture expected behavior and related requirements across all the configurations:
  • Full: Portfolio level and Large Solution level
  • Essential: Program level and Team level

You can use each template to create a Requirement Management project area that includes the necessary roles, artifact templates and categories, and dashboard for that configuration.

Requirement Management for Full SAFe 5.0

Use this SAFe template to establish a requirements management environment that contains the artifacts that are required to support design, development and delivery of a Portfolio including multiple Large Solutions, or Value Streams, orchestrating delivery of Features across Programs.

The SAFe artifacts that are included with this template are Portfolio Canvas, Value Stream Canvas, SWOT Analysis, TOWS Options Matrix, Strategic Theme with Objectives and Key Results (OKR), Value Stream, Program, Vision, Solution Intent, Solution Context, Lean Business Case, Lifecycle Scenario, Scenario Act, and Scenario Scene. This environment might be associated with one or more Essential SAFe tooling environments.

Requirement Management for Essential SAFe 5.0

Use this SAFe template to establish a requirements management environment that contains the artifacts that are required to support design, development, and delivery of Program Features and Stories. The SAFe artifacts that are included with this template are Program, Vision, and Solution Context. This environment might be associated with a Portfolio, Large Solution, or Full SAFe tooling environment.
