summary
Argues that SAFe misses a coordination layer and proposes a concrete new role — a quality ambassador (or chief quality ambassador) — responsible for cross-team test coordination, cost-of-quality metrics, technical debt reduction and governance; maps testing types to SAFe levels (portfolio, large solutions, program, team) and flags integration, post-deploy monitoring, security/performance/usability and automation-location as unresolved; recommends the system-integration team join feature testing and demos and use definition of done/definition of ready to assign responsibilities.
