The CALMR approach to DevOps in SAFe® stands for Culture, Automation, Lean Flow, Measurement, and Recovery. It represents the foundational mindset required to achieve continuous delivery and operational excellence.
The “C” in CALMR stands for Culture, which emphasizes building a culture of shared responsibility between development, operations, and business teams. This shared responsibility ensures alignment, collaboration, and a collective focus on delivering value rather than working in silos.
From SAFe guidance:
“DevOps is founded on a culture of shared responsibility for the delivery of value, encouraging collaboration across all roles and reducing handoffs.”
Therefore, the correct answer is B. Create a culture of shared responsibility, as it reflects the first and most essential principle of the CALMR approach.
