PRACTICE QUESTIONS WITH ACCURATE
SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
⩥ Feature.
Answer: Represents work for the ART. A service that fulfills a
stakeholder need. Each feature includes a benefit hypothesis and
acceptance criteria, and is sized or split as necessary to be delivered by a
single ART in a single Program Increment (PI). Implemented by Stories.
⩥ Foundation.
Answer: Contains the supporting principles, values, mindset,
implementation guidance, and leadership roles needed to deliver value
successfully at scale.
⩥ Full SAFe.
Answer: The most comprehensive configuration, including all seven
core competencies needed for business agility
⩥ IP.
Answer: The Innovation and Planning (IP) Iteration occurs every
Program Increment (PI) and serves multiple purposes. It acts as an
estimating buffer for meeting PI Objectives and provides dedicated time
,for innovation, continuing education, PI Planning, and Inspect and Adapt
(I&A) events.
⩥ I&A.
Answer: The Inspect and Adapt is a significant event, held at the end of
each Program Increment (PI), where the current state of the Solution is
demonstrated and evaluated by the train. Teams then reflect and identify
improvement backlog items via a structured, problem-solving workshop.
⩥ Iteration.
Answer: The basic building block of Agile development. Each iteration
is a standard, fixed-length timebox, where Agile Teams deliver
incremental value in the form of working, tested software and systems.
The recommended duration of the timebox is
two weeks. However, 1-4 weeks is acceptable, depending on the
business context.
⩥ Iteration Execution.
Answer: How Agile Teams manage their work throughout the Iteration
timebox, resulting in a high-quality, working, tested system increment.
⩥ Iteration Goals.
Answer: A high-level summary of the business and technical goals that
the Agile Team agrees to accomplish in an Iteration. They are vital to
coordinating an ART as a self-organizing, self-managing team of teams.
, ⩥ Iteration Planning.
Answer: An event where all team members determine how much of the
Team Backlog they can commit to delivering during an upcoming
Iteration. The team summarizes the work as a set of committed Iteration
Goals.
⩥ Iteration Retrospective.
Answer: A regular meeting where Agile Team members discuss the
results of the Iteration, review their practices, and identify ways to
improve.
⩥ Iteration Review.
Answer: A cadence-based event, where each team inspects the increment
at the end of every Iteration to assess progress, and then adjusts its
backlog for the next iteration.
⩥ Large Solution SAFe.
Answer: Describes additional roles, practices, and guidance to build and
evolve the world's largest applications, networks, and cyber-physical
systems.
⩥ Lean Budget Guardrails.
Answer: The policies and practices for budgeting, spending, and
