Key Terminology Shifts
The transition from a single Scrum team to a large-scale enterprise involves several specific changes in nomenclature to reflect the increased scope and synchronization:
|
Scrum Term |
SAFe Equivalent |
Context & Rationale |
|
Sprint |
Iteration |
SAFe uses the generic term "Iteration" to represent the fixed, two-week time-box for team development. |
|
Daily Scrum |
Team Sync |
In a scaled environment, this daily meeting is rebranded as "Team Sync" to emphasize its role in synchronizing the team’s work with the broader train. |
|
Increment |
Team Increment |
While Scrum produces a "Product Increment," SAFe teams produce a "Team Increment" that must then be integrated into a larger System Increment. |
|
Scrum Team |
Agile Team |
In SAFe, a "Scrum Team" is referred to as an "Agile Team." It remains a cross-functional group (5–11 members) including a Scrum Master and Product Owner. |
|
Sprint Goals |
Iteration Goals |
These goals are aligned specifically to the team’s commitment within a single iteration of the larger Program Increment (PI). |
