Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) Release Train Engineer Practice Test

What can the RTE do to help Business Owners better understand the value created by the teams?

1. Publish team business values for tracking each ART deliverable

2. Work with teams to involve them in scoring business value

3. Educate teams that business value depicts execution speed

4. Illustrate the link between business values and market communication

The correct answer is: Publish team business values for tracking each ART deliverable

The role of the Release Train Engineer (RTE) is pivotal in facilitating communication and understanding among stakeholders, particularly between the development teams and Business Owners. To help Business Owners better grasp the value generated by the teams, publishing team business values for each Agile Release Train (ART) deliverable is effective because it creates transparency and provides measurable insights into the work being done. By documenting and making these values accessible, Business Owners can see specific contributions each team is making towards organizational goals. This practice fosters a common understanding of outcomes and allows Business Owners to appreciate the direct impact of the teams’ efforts on business objectives. Furthermore, it can aid in prioritizing work and making informed decisions based on the demonstrated value of deliverables. In contrast, involving teams in scoring business value or illustrating links between business values and market communications is useful but may not be as direct as simply publishing the deliverables. Similarly, educating teams that business value reflects execution speed could lead to misunderstandings, as business value encompasses more than just speed; it includes the quality and relevance of the delivered products as well. Therefore, the most straightforward approach for the RTE to strengthen the connection between development work and business objectives is to publish team business values.
