Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) Release Train Engineer Practice Test

What activity occurs during Team Breakout #2 on the second day of PI Planning?

1. Business Owners independently assign business value to normalize business value across all teams

2. All Feature delivery and dependencies are visualized on the ART planning board

3. The RTE modifies the PI Iteration schedule, if needed

4. The Release Train Engineer combines all Team PI Objectives into ART PI Objectives

The correct answer is: Business Owners independently assign business value to normalize business value across all teams

During Team Breakout #2 on the second day of PI Planning, teams work on finalizing their commitments for the upcoming Program Increment (PI), which includes the activity of business owners independently assigning business value to the features that have been planned. This process is crucial as it enables teams to understand the relative importance and priority of their work, helping to align their efforts with the overall goals of the organization. The assignment of business value serves to normalize the significance of features across all teams, ensuring that they are all working towards delivering maximum value to the customer and the business. In contrast, the other activities listed do not specifically align with the focus of Team Breakout #2. While visualizing feature delivery and dependencies is essential, this tends to occur in earlier stages of planning to identify risks and dependencies. Modifications to the PI Iteration schedule are typically not decided in this breakout, as the schedule is usually set before the finalization of team objectives. The task of combining all Team PI Objectives into ART PI Objectives is a collaborative effort led by the Release Train Engineer but happens after the team breakouts have concluded. Therefore, choosing the assignment of business value specifically reflects the objective and activities that take place during this particular breakout.
