 A quality of an Agile team is that it is cross-functional, meaning that it has all the skills and roles necessary to deliver value to the customer. A cross-functional team can work independently and collaboratively, without relying on external dependencies or handoffs. A cross-functional team can also adapt to changing requirements and feedback, and deliver work in small increments. References: Agile Teams - Scaled Agile Framework, Top 8 Characteristics of High-Performing Agile Team - Techtic Solutions, Agile Q&A: Team Qualities | Agile Alliance, Agile Team Roles and Responsibilities: A Brief Guide - Teamhood

Reducing batch size is one of the key ways to improve flow in product development. Smaller batches move faster and more smoothly through the system, reducing cycle time, variability, and waste. Smaller batches also enable faster feedback and learning, which leads to higher quality and customer satisfaction. By reducing batch size, the system can deliver more value in a given time, which means increased throughput12. References: Make Value Flow without Interruptions - Scaled Agile Framework, Principle #6 – Visualize and limit WIP, reduce batch sizes, and manage queue lengths - Scaled Agile Framework

The Scrum Master is a servant leader and coach for the Agile team. One of their main responsibilities is to remove impediments that hinder the team’s progress and performance. Impediments can be anything that blocks the team from delivering value, such as technical issues, dependencies, conflicts, or lack of resources. The Scrum Master helps the team identify and resolve impediments as quickly as possible, and escalates them to the appropriate level if needed. By removing impediments, the Scrum Master helps the team stay focused, productive, and motivated. References: Exam Study Guide: SP (6.0) - SAFe® Practitioner, [Scrum Master]

Building incrementally with fast, integrated learning cycles is one of the ten SAFe Lean-Agile Principles. It means that the enterprise delivers value in small batches of work, frequently and reliably, to provide fast feedback and foster innovation. By building incrementally, the enterprise can reduce risk, complexity, and uncertainty, and validate assumptions before committing to large investments. By integrating frequently, the enterprise can ensure quality, collaboration, and alignment across the value stream. By creating learning cycles, the enterprise can test hypotheses, measure outcomes, and pivot as needed to achieve the desired results1. References: 1: Build Incrementally with Fast, Integrated Learning Cycles - Scaled Agile Framework
