What is one technique for building a one-team culture across the ART?

Building a one-team culture across the Agile Release Train (ART) is essential for the success of any SAFe implementation. One effective technique for fostering this culture is to create an environment where the entire ART shares in successes and failures, promoting unity and collective responsibility. This approach encourages collaboration, increases transparency, and helps to build trust among team members. It aligns with the SAFe principle of alignment, which emphasizes that the more alignment you have, the more autonomy you can grant2. This shared sense of purpose helps to break down silos and ensures that everyone is working towards the same goals. It is not about rotating team members (B) or avoiding vulnerability (A), nor is it solely about reviewing predictability measures (D). Instead, it’s about fostering a collective mindset where the ART operates as a cohesive unit, supporting one another and striving for common objectives1.
