QUESTION 1

What is one of the Agile Release Train events?

Correct Answer: C
A Solution Demo is one of the Agile Release Train (ART) events in the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). It is a periodic event that provides an integrated view of the current state of the solution under development. It is typically held at the end of each Program Increment (PI), after the System Demo and before the Inspect and Adapt workshop. The Solution Demo is attended by the Solution Train stakeholders, including Customers, Suppliers, Solution Management, Solution Architect/Engineering, and Release Management. The purpose of the Solution Demo is to evaluate the solution and collect
feedback for improvement. The Solution Demo also provides an opportunity to measure the solution??s fitness for purpose, quality, compliance, and readiness for release

QUESTION 2

What is used to brainstorm potential Portfolio future states?

Correct Answer: C
SWOT and TOWS are used to brainstorm potential portfolio future states. SWOT is an acronym for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. SWOT analysis is a tool that helps identify the internal and external factors that affect the portfolio??s performance and position in the market. TOWS is an acronym for Threats, Opportunities, Weaknesses, and Strengths. TOWS analysis is a tool that helps generate strategic alternatives based on the SWOT factors. SWOT and TOWS help create a portfolio vision that reflects the desired future state of the portfolio. References: SAFe Portfolio, Portfolio Canvas

QUESTION 3

User business value and time criticality are components of what?

Correct Answer: C
User business value and time criticality are components of cost of delay. Cost of delay is a way of quantifying the economic impact of delaying the delivery of a product or feature. Cost of delay consists of four factors: user or customer value, time criticality, risk reduction or opportunity enablement value, and job size or duration. Cost of delay is used to prioritize features using Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF), which is a method that maximizes the economic value delivered by a product development
flow. References: ART Backlog and WSJF, SAFe Principle #1

QUESTION 4

The primary goal of SAFe is to achieve what?

Correct Answer: D
The primary goal of SAFe is to achieve business agility. Business agility is the ability to compete and thrive in the digital age by quickly responding to market changes and emerging opportunities with innovative solutions. Business agility requires that everyone involved in delivering solutions—business and technology leaders, development, IT operations, legal, marketing, finance, support, compliance, security, and others—use Lean and Agile practices to continually deliver innovative, high-quality products and services faster than the competition.

QUESTION 5

What is an example of applying cadence and synchronization in SAFe?

Correct Answer: A
Conducting a PI planning event is an example of applying cadence and synchronization in SAFe. Cadence is a regular and predictable pattern of events that provides a rhythm for development. Synchronization is the alignment of multiple perspectives and activities within a cadence. PI planning is a two-day event that occurs at the beginning of every Program Increment (PI), which is typically an 8-12 week timebox. PI planning brings together all the teams in an ART to align on a common vision, identify dependencies, plan features, establish objectives, and commit to a plan for the next
PI. References: Develop on Cadence; Release on Demand, PI Planning
