SAFe framework has a grey bar represented on the left hand side of framework with icons on it representing Spanning Palette. It holds the elements which can be applied or configured across levels. The Spanning Palette contains various roles and artefacts that may be applicable to a specific team, program, large solution or portfolio context.
The elements represented in spanning palette are Vision, System Team, Lean UX, Metrics, Shared Services, CoP, Milestones, Roadmap. This displays a key element of SAFe’s flexibility and configurability. The spanning palette permits organisations to apply only the elements needed for their configuration.
