NEW QUESTION # 72
(Select 2) The SAFe Economic Framework guides Value Stream investment decisions by: __________.
- A. Finding Value Streams.
- B. Prioritizing work by ROI.
- C. Requiring lightweight business cases for Epics.
- D. Empowering the Product Owners to sequence the Value Stream Backlog.
Answer: B,C
Explanation:
The SAFe Economic Framework supports investment decisions through:
Prioritizing work by ROI (A): Economic prioritization techniques (such as WSJF or ROI) ensure the highest value work is prioritized.
Requiring lightweight business cases for Epics (B): This ensures sound economic reasoning and justification before large investments are made.
Empowering Product Owners to sequence the Value Stream Backlog (C) is not a portfolio-level economic framework action. Finding Value Streams (D) is part of the implementation roadmap, not ongoing investment decisions.
"The Economic Framework guides decisions by requiring business cases and prioritizing work using economic factors such as ROI." (Source: SAFe 6.0 Framework: Economic Decision Making; SPC 6.0 Guide "Exploring Lean Portfolio Management")
NEW QUESTION # 73
You are working with an ART that is preparing for their first PI Planning event. All Features are formulated and ready for WSJF prioritization. However, when you look over the list of Features, it turns out that they are big tasks rather than Features.
What technique would be useful to fix the list of backlog items to be able to apply WSJF?
- A. Formulate business benefits for each backlog item. If no meaningful business benefits can be identified, it's not a Feature and should be redefined.
- B. Split the backlog items into smaller, more manageable pieces of work and rearrange them into real Features.
- C. Identify the associated Epics when formulating Features.
- D. Build explicit dependencies between backlog items. If B depends on A for completion, make sure that the opportunity enablement WSJF is a parameter of A.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Features in SAFe should be right-sized, delivering value and being small enough for incremental delivery within a PI. If the current backlog items are too large ("big tasks"), the best technique is to split them into smaller, more manageable Features. This enables meaningful WSJF prioritization and supports flow-based delivery.

SPC 6.0 Guide: "Right-size Features to fit within a PI for effective prioritization and delivery."
NEW QUESTION # 74
What are stretch objectives?
- A. Objectives that are beyond the capacity of the team and so are uncommitted for the PI.
- B. Objectives that are identified during the PI.
- C. Objectives that the business has promised to their Customers.
- D. Objectives that are part of the team's capacity but not necessarily achievable during the PI.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Stretch objectives are those that teams would like to accomplish but are not certain they will be able to complete within the PI due to uncertainty, risks, or dependencies. These objectives are not included in the team's committed objectives and do not count towards the team's PI predictability measure.
SAFe 6.0 states:
"Stretch objectives are used to identify work that can be done if capacity permits, but are not committed by the team for the PI." References:
SAFe 6.0 Website: PI Objectives
SPC 6.0 Guide: "Stretch objectives are not part of the team's commitment and may or may not be achieved in the PI."
NEW QUESTION # 75
(Select 2) SAFe teams using Kanban are required to participate in which events?
- A. System Demo
- B. Iteration Planning
- C. Iteration Retrospective
- D. PI Planning
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
While Kanban teams in SAFe may not participate in all Scrum-based ceremonies (such as Iteration Planning and Retrospectives), they are required to participate in System Demos and PI Planning. This ensures alignment, synchronization, and integration at the ART and Program level.
"Kanban teams participate fully in ART ceremonies that require alignment and system integration, such as PI Planning and System Demos." (Source: SAFe 6.0 Framework: Team Kanban; SPC 6.0 Guide, "Building Solutions with Agile Product Delivery")
NEW QUESTION # 76
What is NOT the responsibility of the Enterprise Architect?
- A. Synchronize the technology stack and infrastructure across Value Streams.
- B. Facilitate reuse of ideas and proven design patterns.
- C. Define the Solution design for Agile Release Trains.
- D. Drive the strategy for maintaining the Enterprise's architecture.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Enterprise Architects focus on cross-ART and cross-Value Stream strategy and technical alignment. Defining Solution design for Agile Release Trains (C) is the responsibility of Solution/System Architects at the ART or Solution Train level, not Enterprise Architects.
"Enterprise Architects define and communicate a shared technical and architectural vision for the enterprise.
Solution and System Architects design at the ART/Solution Train level." (Source: SAFe 6.0 Framework: Enterprise Architect, Solution Architect)
NEW QUESTION # 77
Backlog items in an Expedite class of service can break WIP limits.
- A. True
- B. False
Answer: A
Explanation:
"Expedite" is a Kanban class of service for critical items that require immediate attention. SAFe permits items in the Expedite lane to override or break WIP (Work In Process) limits to ensure urgent delivery.
"Expedite items are allowed to break WIP limits to ensure that urgent issues are addressed as quickly as possible." (Source: SAFe 6.0 Framework: Kanban Classes of Service)
NEW QUESTION # 78

SAFe 6.0 Website: SAFe Foundations
SPC 6.0 Guide: "Foundations materials are ideal for executive briefings and initial organizational awareness."
NEW QUESTION # 80
(Select 2) What steps in the Portfolio Kanban are most appropriate for running research spikes?
- A. Portfolio Backlog-run a spike before pulling into development.
- B. Implementing-teams perform spikes as usual
- C. Analysis-spikes help clarify feasibility.
- D. Funnel-understand whether the Epic makes sense.
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
A: During the Analysis step, research spikes (time-boxed investigations) are used to clarify feasibility, identify unknowns, and gather data for decision making.
C: In the Funnel step, early research or spikes help determine if the Epic is even worth advancing, especially for innovations or high-risk items.
Portfolio Backlog (D) is for items already accepted for future implementation; it's generally too late for basic research spikes. Implementing (B) is for execution, not discovery.
References:
SAFe 6.0 Website: Portfolio Kanban
SPC 6.0 Guide: "Spikes are often run during the Funnel and Analysis steps to clarify scope, feasibility, and business case."

References:
SAFe 6.0 Website: Solution Demo
SPC 6.0 Guide: "The Solution Demo is held at the end of each PI to show integrated solution increments."
NEW QUESTION # 88
The User Experience (UX) team does not believe in Agile development. They say, "We have to understand the
full behavior of the eventual system in order to be able to define an effective user experience. We don't work
in timeboxes.
How would you respond?
- A. It's important to have an overall user experience vision before implementation, but the vision can be implemented iteratively for early feedback.
- B. Just like system architecture, the entire user experience should be fully designed before an
implementation. - C. User experience is indeed a different concept and the team should be exempt from working in Iterations.
- D. Since the team is working in timeboxes, this has been proven to be the most effective way to implement
the user experience.
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 89
The User Experience (UX) team does not believe in Agile development. They say, "We have to understand the full behavior of the eventual system in order to be able to define an effective user experience. We don't work in timeboxes.

- C. Just like system architecture, the entire user experience should be fully designed before an implementation.
- D. User experience is indeed a different concept and the team should be exempt from working in Iterations.
Answer: B
Explanation:
SAFe recognizes the importance of an overarching UX vision but emphasizes that implementing this vision iteratively-just like architecture-is critical. This enables fast feedback and adaptation based on user needs and evolving solution context. UX is not exempt from Agile principles; rather, UX design and research should proceed collaboratively with incremental delivery.
"While a UX vision is important, Agile teams work best when they implement that vision incrementally, with each iteration providing feedback to enhance the user experience." (Source: SAFe 6.0 Framework: Agile Teams and UX; SPC 6.0 Guide, "Building Solutions with Agile Product Delivery")
NEW QUESTION # 90
(Select 3) What are the primary reasons to limit WIP?
- A. Reduce multiplexing
- B. Expand context switching
- C. Decrease wait times
- D. Increase throughput
- E. Make it easier to visualize the important work
Answer: A,C,D
Explanation:
Limiting WIP:
Reduces multiplexing (A): Teams and individuals do less context switching and focus more.
Decreases wait times (B): Items flow through the system faster with less time spent waiting.
Increases throughput (E): Limiting WIP ensures more items complete in a given period.
"Limiting WIP decreases wait times, reduces context switching (multiplexing), and increases throughput." (Source: SAFe 6.0 Framework: Principle #6 - Visualize and limit WIP, reduce batch sizes, and manage queue lengths.)
