Sample Questions from SAFe Agilist (Leading SAFe) SA / SAFe 6.0

Preview a few questions below — answers are revealed when you take the exam.

  1. A team needs to integrate multiple Agile Release Trains (ARTs) to deliver a large-scale solution. What approach should they take to ensure alignment and coordination across ARTs?

    • Implement a centralized command structure to oversee all ARTs and dictate their activities.
    • Utilize the Solution Train to align ARTs, establish dependencies, and coordinate the delivery of the solution.
    • Have each ART operate independently and integrate their outputs at the end of the project.
    • Focus on optimizing individual ART performance without considering cross-ART dependencies.

  2. Consider the situation where an ART is experiencing frequent integration issues due to misaligned team goals. Which method solves it best?

    • Conduct regular cross-team retrospectives to identify and resolve integration issues.
    • Implement a strict top-down approach where team goals are dictated by management.
    • Increase the frequency of integration testing without addressing team alignment.
    • Focus solely on individual team performance metrics without considering cross-team dependencies.

  3. Which option best evaluates the effectiveness of a Value Stream Identification workshop in a SAFe implementation?

    • Assessing the number of Value Streams identified versus the initial estimate.
    • Measuring the alignment of team goals with the identified Value Streams.
    • Counting the number of participants in the workshop.
    • Evaluating the workshop's duration and cost.

  4. How should a professional assess the impact of implementing PI Objectives on team performance within an ART?

    • By comparing team velocity before and after the implementation of PI Objectives.
    • By surveying team members on their satisfaction with the new objectives.
    • By analyzing the number of features delivered in each PI.
    • By reviewing the team's adherence to sprint goals during PI planning.

  5. What strategy should be applied when an ART is struggling to meet its PI Objectives due to unforeseen technical challenges?

    • Immediately reassign team members to different projects to mitigate the impact.
    • Conduct a Problem-Solving Workshop to identify root causes and develop solutions.
    • Postpone the PI Objectives until the technical challenges are resolved.
    • Increase the team's workload to compensate for the delays.
