1. What are two main reasons why the program predictability measure is important? (Choose two.)
It indicates whether the Solution is ready to be released
It identifies variations to discuss in the Inspect and Adapt workshop
It identifies under-performing teams
It focuses the Agile Release Train on value delivery
It demonstrates the need to fix the scope at the beginning of the Program Increment (PI)
2. An Agile Release Train (ART) is frequently discovering compatibility issues between the developed Solution and the Enterprise information architecture. What can the Release Train Engineer do to prevent this from occurring?
Conduct the entire data architecture design upfront
Develop more detailed Feature definitions
Confirm attendance of architectural representatives at Program Increment (PI) Planning
Add data Architects onto the ART
3. How can a Release Train Engineer foster motivation?
Be responsible for formulating the decisions to resolve conflicts between teams
Create an environment of mutual influence
Clarify communication protocols across functional boundaries
Expedite participation and decisions from senior management on teams' frequent and time-critical matters
4. The servant leadership role of the Release Train Engineer is very important and can be described by which statement?

5. What are the two primary impacts of having a well-executed Innovation and Planning (IP) Iteration? (Choose two.)You have reached the max number of allowed answers
Decreased defects
Faster delivery
Innovation is leveraged and enabled
Redistribution of people on teams
Increased delivery predictability
6. Why is it helpful to communicate newly refined Features and Enablers to the teams during the current Program Increment (PI)?
Teams can establish face-to-face communication across all team members and stakeholders
Teams can prepare backlogs, give feedback to the Product Owner/Product Management/System Architect, and begin looking at dependencies, impediments, and knowledge building
Teams can review the Features and Enablers at the start of PI Planning, so they have an understanding of the Roadmap for the next PI
Teams can help support overall product integrity and facilitate working agreements during PI Planning
7. Migrating component teams to feature teams on an Agile Release Train can be enabled by which action?
Combining the testers into one team
Creating a business case to support the migration
Encouraging the System Architect and Product Management to share roles
Carefully rotating team members between different component teams to spread the knowledge
8. Which activity takes place during Team Breakout #2 on the second day of Program Increment (PI) Planning?
Business Owners assign business value without team discussion so they can normalize business value across all teams on the Agile Release Train
All Feature delivery and dependencies are visualized on the program board*
The Release Train Engineer (RTE) modifies the PI Iteration schedule, if needed, based on the scope of high priority Features
The Release Train Engineer (RTE) combines all Team PI Objectives into Program PI Objectives
9. How can a Release Train Engineer be aware of employee satisfaction?
Survey full-time employees
Gather employee Metrics immediately after the Agile Release Train launches
Address and resolve any problems areas
Conduct an employee Net Promoter Score survey *
10. What value do Iteration Goals provide in SAFe?
Better understanding of the sequencing of the team's backlogs
Creates the near-term focus and vision
Clarity, commitment, and transparency*
