The balance between emergent design and intentional architecture when building in quality is required for speed of development and maintainability. Emergent design is the practice of defining and evolving the architecture only as necessary to deliver the next increment of functionality, based on the feedback and learning from the previous increments. Intentional architecture is the practice of defining and implementing some upfront design guidelines and standards that enable the integration and evolution of the solution across multiple teams and domains. Both practices are implemented with enablers, which are technical items that support the development and delivery of features and capabilities. The balance between emergent design and intentional architecture allows the teams and the Agile Release Train (ART) to deliver value faster, with higher quality and lower risk, and to maintain and improve the solution over time12. The other options are not accurate descriptions of the balance between emergent design and intentional architecture, as they either do not reflect the benefits of both practices, or use terms that are not relevant to the SAFe context.
