v1.4.x What's New for Educators

v1.4.x gives you five new guidebook chapters (Ch. 31-35) that fit naturally into an advanced-topics module or a final-quarter capstone. The SAFe-adoption chapter pairs well with a project-management unit; the Zachman-coevolution chapter fits an enterprise-architecture unit; the two delegation chapters (patent/industry-paper) make strong discussion material for research-ethics and IP seminars.

• Guidebook Ch. 31 — SAFe Adoption in FCC — pair with PM / agile teaching units.
• Guidebook Ch. 32 — Dual-Bus Event Model — advanced distributed-systems lab material.
• Guidebook Ch. 33 — Patent Delegation to PHOENIX — IP and research-ethics seminar material.
• Guidebook Ch. 34 — Industry Paper Handoff to NEXUS — scholarly-publishing seminar material.
• Guidebook Ch. 35 — Zachman Coevolution — enterprise-architecture unit material.
• Sample Prompts — Teach the v1.4.x SAFe Rollout
• Sample Prompts — Classroom Zachman Workshop
• docs/safe/README.md — use as a case-study artefact in agile-methods units.
• docs/ecosystem/ — live ecosystem coordination docs are a rare teaching asset; use them to show students what production coordination looks like.
• Notebook 39_v14x_guided_tour.ipynb — lecture companion.
• Notebook 45_v14x_capstone_scenarios.ipynb — capstone-project scaffolding for a v1.4.x-era course.
