Explanation
According to the SAFe DevOps Practitioner 6.0 study guide and handbook, when development and operations do not collaborate early in the pipeline, surprises are found in deployment that lead to significant rework and delay. This means that the teams may not have a shared understanding of the quality, performance, and security requirements of the Solution, and may encounter issues that were not anticipated or tested. The handbook states that "When development and operations do not collaborate early in the pipeline, surprises are found in deployment that lead to significant rework and delay."1 Therefore, it is important for teams to work together throughout the value stream to ensure continuous delivery.
