QUESTION: 1

What is one technique for building a one-team culture across the ART?

Option A : Ensure the team leader does not show vulnerability

Option B : Rotate team members to new teams to facilitate relationship building
Option C : Foster an environment in which the whole ART succeeds and fails together
Option D : Review each teams' predictability measure with the ART

Correct Answer: C

Explanation/Reference:

Building a one-team culture across the Agile Release Train (ART) is essential for the success of any SAFe implementation. One

effective technique for fostering this culture is to create an environment where the entire ART shares in successes and failures,

promoting unity and collective responsibility. This approach encourages collaboration, increases transparency, and helps to

build trust among team members. It aligns with the SAFe principle of alignment, which emphasizes that the more alignment

you have, the more autonomy you can grant2. This shared sense of purpose helps to break down silos and ensures that

everyone is working towards the same goals. It is not about rotating team members (B) or avoiding vulnerability (A), nor is it

solely about reviewing predictability measures (D). Instead, its about fostering a collective mindset where the ART operates as

a cohesive unit, supporting one another and striving for common objectives1.

QUESTION: 4

Which statement is true about the definition of done (DoD)?

Option A :

The DoD is not used by the teams because it is used as a method to manage tech-nical debt across the
ART

Option B :

At the higher levels there is only one DoD for everything that passes through the Agile Release Train to a
Solution increment or a release

Option C : The teams share one common DoD

Option D : The DoD should evolve as system capabilities evolve

Correct Answer: D

Explanation/Reference:

The Definition of Done (DoD) is a critical concept within the SAFe framework that ensures quality and completeness in

deliverables. Heres a step-by-step explanation of why the DoD should evolve as system capabilities evolve: Initial

Establishment: Teams within an Agile Release Train (ART) initially establish a DoD to ensure that all deliverables meet a certain

quality standard and are truly œdone . Continuous Improvement: As the system capabilities grow and the product evolves, the

DoD must also evolve to incorporate new criteria that align with the current state of the system. Alignment with System

Growth: The evolution of the DoD is necessary to accommodate the increased complexity and new technological

advancements that come with system growth. Ensuring Quality: An evolving DoD ensures that the quality of the product does

not degrade as new features and capabilities are added. Reflecting Current Standards: The DoD should reflect the most current

development, testing, and compliance standards to ensure that the product remains competitive and secure. Adaptation to

Feedback: Feedback from stakeholders, customers, and users may lead to changes in the system that should be reflected in

the DoD. Scaling: As more teams and ARTs are involved, the DoD must scale to ensure uniformity and consistency across the

entire solution. In conclusion, the DoD is not static; it must adapt to the changing landscape of the systems capabilities to

ensure that the ART continues to deliver high-quality, valuable increments to the endusers1.

Correct Answer: B,E

Explanation/Reference:

The outputs of Iteration Planning within the SAFe framework are crucial for guiding the work of Agile teams during an iteration.

Two primary outputs of this process are: Iteration Goals: These are the objectives that the team commits to achieving during

the iteration. They provide a clear direction and purpose for the iteration, aligning the teams efforts with the larger goals of the

Agile Release Train (ART). Iteration Backlog: This is the set of stories, including enablers, that the team plans to deliver by the

end of the iteration. Each item in the iteration backlog has defined acceptance criteria and an estimate, which are recorded in

the team backlog. Together, these outputs ensure that the team has a clear understanding of what needs to be accomplished

and the work items that they have committed to delivering. This alignment is essential for maintaining the flow of value

through the ART and achieving the broader objectives of the program increment (PI)1.

QUESTION: 18

What is a key characteristic lean-agile leaders need to have when implementing SAFe?

Option A : Ensuring compliance with process standards

Option B : Understanding and exhibiting the values, principles and practices

[Link]
 Option C : Emphasizing the enterprise objectives and KPIs
Option D : Keeping roadmaps to no more than a single PI

Correct Answer: B

Explanation/Reference:

Lean-Agile leaders are essential for the successful implementation of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). A key characteristic

they need to have is the understanding and exhibition of SAFes values, principles, and practices1. Lean-Agile leadership

involves driving and sustaining organizational change and operational excellence by empowering individuals and teams to

reach their highest potential. Leaders achieve this by leading by example; learning and modeling SAFes Lean-Agile mindset,

values, principles, and practices; and leading the change to a new way of working1. The Lean-Agile Leadership competency is

one of the seven core competencies of Business Agility, which is essential to achieving Business Agility. Leaders are

responsible for the adoption, success, and ongoing improvement of Lean-Agile development. They have the authority to

change and continuously improve the systems that govern how work is performed. Moreover, they create an environment that

encourages high-performing Agile teams to flourish and produce value1. In summary, Lean-Agile leaders must internalize and

model leaner ways of thinking and operating so that team members will learn from their example, coaching, and

encouragement. This is more than just supporting the transformation; its about actively leading the change and guiding the

activities necessary to understand and continuously optimize the flow of value through the enterprise1.

QUESTION: 21

What is one reason why the ART predictability measure is important?

Option A : It identifies under-performing teams

Option B : It demonstrates the need to fix the scope at the beginning of the PI
Option C : It indicates where the Solution is ready to be released
Option D : It allows the business and other stakeholders to plan effectively

Correct Answer: D

Explanation/Reference:

The ART predictability measure is a critical metric within the SAFe framework. It is important because it enables businesses and

other stakeholders to plan effectively. This measure provides insights into how reliably teams and ARTs can deliver business

value against their planned objectives. By understanding the predictability of the ART, stakeholders can make informed

decisions about future investments, resource allocation, and market commitments. It is not primarily about identifying under-

performing teams (A), fixing the scope at the beginning of the PI (B), or indicating when the Solution is ready to be released

©. Instead, predictability measures provide a fact-based understanding of the ARTs ability to deliver on its commitments,

which is essential for effective planning and adjustment of strategies1.

all attendees can see, hear, and contribute to the planning process1. These steps are part of the broader preparation activities

facilitated by the Release Train Engineer (RTE) to ensure that the PI Planning event runs smoothly and that all teams on the

Agile Release Train (ART) are aligned to a shared mission and vision2.

QUESTION: 23

Which SAFe Principle is being applied when a Release Train Engineer treats Suppliers as partners?

Option A : Build incrementally with fast, integrated learning cycles

Option B : Assume variability; preserve options
Option C : Decentralize decision-making
Option D : Apply systems thinking

Correct Answer: D

Explanation/Reference:

[Link]
The SAFe principle of ˜Apply systems thinking is the one being applied when a Release Train Engineer treats Suppliers as

partners. This principle is about understanding the larger context of the work and how all parts of the system interrelate. In

SAFe, suppliers are considered to be part of the solution train and are critical to the delivery of value. The framework

emphasizes that for organizations to achieve mutual benefits, close collaboration and trust are required with suppliers. This

involves deeply involving them in the solutions definition and building activities, and working with them to help adopt Lean-

Agile Mindsets and practices for the economic benefit of both parties1. Treating suppliers as partners is a strategic approach

that aligns with systems thinking by recognizing the importance of every element in the value stream and fostering an

environment of collaboration and mutual growth.

QUESTION: 37

Product Management is expected to collaborate in planning the amount of upcoming En-abler work
by establishing what?

Option A : Completed Epic acceptance criteria

Option B : Capacity allocation
Option C : Team Backlog prioritization

Correct Answer: B

Explanation/Reference:

Product Management is responsible for defining and supporting the building of desirable, feasible, viable, and sustainable

products that meet customer needs over the product-market lifecycle. To do this effectively in a SAFe environment, they must

collaborate with various stakeholders to determine the capacity allocation for upcoming Enabler work. Enabler work refers to

the activities that support the development of business features, such as exploration, architecture, infrastructure, and

[Link]
compliance. These are necessary to advance the Solution and build its architectural runway. The capacity allocation for Enabler

work is a collaborative effort between Product Management, System Architects/Engineering, and other stakeholders. This

ensures that sufficient capacity is allocated for both feature and enabler work, balancing the need to address technical debt,

architectural advancements, and other necessary activities that enable future delivery of value. The SAFe framework suggests

a ˜capacity allocation approach where a certain percentage of the teams capacity is allocated to Enabler work. This is not a

fixed number but rather a guideline to ensure that teams invest in necessary work that may not directly deliver new customer

features but is essential for the long-term health and adaptability of the product. By establishing a capacity allocation for

Enabler work, Product Management ensures that there is a balance between delivering new features and maintaining the

technical quality and flexibility of the product to adapt to future changes. This approach helps in managing the investment in

Enabler work and ensures that it is not overlooked in the pursuit of immediate feature delivery.
