The core value of Transparency in SAFe is key to creating an environment where “facts are always friendly.” This is because transparency encourages an open culture where information is shared openly, and everyone has access to the facts, which allows for better decision-making and fosters trust within the organization. The SAFe Core Values page explains that transparency is one of the four core values that guide the behaviors and actions of everyone participating in a SAFe portfolio. It emphasizes that work and decisions must be visible, debated, resolved, and transparent to ensure alignment and enable the building of trust through a culture where facts can be discussed openly1.
