Question 1

A Feature inherits its WSJF rank from its parent.



Answer : B

WSJF (Weighted Shortest Job First) is calculated for each item (Feature, Capability, Epic) based on its own Cost of Delay and job size, not inherited from a parent item. Features are prioritized independently, even if derived from higher-level items.

Question 2

What activity occurs during the program Inspect and Adapt workshop?



Answer : A

The Inspect and Adapt (I&A) workshop is a regular, program-level event at the end of each Program Increment (PI). One of the key activities in this workshop is updating the PI Predictability Measure, which assesses how well teams and the ART delivered on their PI Objectives. This measure is reviewed and discussed to help the ART improve planning and delivery in future PIs.

While the I&A event also includes a PI System Demo and a Retrospective/Problem-Solving Workshop, the Team Iteration Demo (C) and Iteration Metrics update (E) are typically performed at the team level throughout the PI, not specifically during the I&A. Roadmap updates (B) and Biweekly System Demos (D) are other ongoing events outside the I&A workshop.

Question 3

What is the SAFe calculation for Weighted Shortest Job First?



Answer : A

SAFe calculates Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) as:

WSJF = (User/Business Value + Time Criticality + Risk Reduction and/or Opportunity Enablement) / Job Size

This formula helps prioritize jobs that offer the most economic benefit in the shortest duration. Job Size is often estimated in story points or effort.

Question 5

Which process is used for Epics to accelerate learning and development and reduce risk?

During PI Planning, which of the following exposes dependencies between teams that may require coordination?

The ART Planning Board is a visual tool used during PI Planning to highlight and track dependencies between teams. Teams use it to indicate where their work is dependent on others, which helps surface and coordinate cross-team dependencies for successful PI execution.
