SAFe for Architects recognizes the crucial role that architects play in large-scale agile development and provides a framework to align their activities with agile and lean principles. It emphasizes the need for architects to balance the need for upfront architectural design with the agility required to respond to changing requirements and emerging technologies.

Key aspects of "SAFe for Architects" include:

Architectural Runway: This concept involves creating and maintaining a foundation for the system that allows for efficient and effective development. It includes architectural practices and guidelines to ensure that development teams have the necessary support to build and deliver new features.

Soltion Intent: This refers to maintaining a clear and evolving understanding of the overall system's architecture and design. Solution intent provides a shared view that helps development teams work more cohesively.

Architectural Epics: Architectural work is often captured as "Architectural Epics" in SAFe. These are large initiatives aimed at driving architectural change and improvement across the organization.

Architectural Communities of Practice: These are forums where architects can collaborate and share knowledge and best practices. These communities help ensure that architectural decisions are aligned with organizational goals and principles.

Participating in PI Planning: Architects participate in Program Increment (PI) Planning events, where they help prioritize and align the work of agile release trains with architectural concerns.

SAFe for Architects is designed to help organizations achieve a balance between the need for architectural guidance and the principles of agile, such as flexibility, responsiveness, and delivering value quickly. It provides guidance for architects to work within the SAFe framework and help organizations successfully navigate the complexities of large-scale software and system development.
