Question 68
What is one method for reducing queue length?
Correct Answer: C
Resizing the work is one method for reducing queue length in SAFe. Queue length is the number of work items waiting to be processed in a system. Reducing queue length can improve flow, reduce cycle time, and increase throughput. Resizing the work means breaking down large work items into smaller ones that can be completed faster and with less variability. Smaller work items also reduce the risk of rework, defects, and delays. Resizing the work can be done at any level of SAFe, from portfolio epics to team stories. SAFe provides several techniques for resizing the work, such as Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF), Minimum Marketable Features (MMFs), Minimum Viable Products (MVPs), and Spikes1.

Question 69
Who decides the Team PI Objective Business Value scoring after negotiation?
Correct Answer: C
Business Owners are key ART stakeholders who have the primary business and technical responsibility for return on investment (ROI), governance, and compliance. They evaluate the fitness for use and actively participate in ART events and solution development. They also use a scale of 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest) to assign the business value to the team PI objectives after negotiation with the teams and other stakeholders. They typically assign the highest values to the customer-facing objectives. References: Business Owners - Scaled Agile Framework, PI Objectives - Scaled Agile Framework
