Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) Release Train Engineer Practice Test

How can the RTE prevent compatibility issues between the developed Solution and Enterprise information architecture?

1. Confirm attendance of architectural representatives at PI Planning

2. Add data architects to the ART

3. Develop more detailed Feature definitions

4. Conduct the entire data architecture design upfront

The correct answer is: Confirm attendance of architectural representatives at PI Planning

Confirming the attendance of architectural representatives at Program Increment (PI) Planning is essential for ensuring alignment between the architecture and the development teams. Architectural representatives have a deep understanding of the enterprise information architecture, including standards, guidelines, and constraints that impact how solutions are developed. By having these representatives present during PI Planning, teams can engage in discussions that help identify potential compatibility issues early in the process. Involving architects at this stage allows for better communication and collaboration, ensuring that the planned features and system capabilities align with the existing information architecture. This cooperative approach facilitates a shared understanding of architectural needs and promotes the integration of best practices, greatly reducing the risk of incompatibilities when the solution is implemented. The other choices may contribute to the overall success of the Agile Release Train (ART), but they do not specifically address the proactive identification and management of compatibility issues related to the enterprise information architecture in the same direct manner as having architectural representatives at PI Planning.
