Start Leadership for PI Planning PracticeDuring PI Planning, which THREE of the following represent the responsibilities of Business Owners during the draft plan review? (Choose three)
Explanation: Business Owners are vital during the draft plan review because they provide the necessary check between technical plans and business value. Their presence ensures that the proposed objectives align with the overall vision, and they help negotiate scope when team capacity is insufficient. This collaborative process ensures that the final PI commitments are both realistic and aligned with the enterprise's strategic priorities for the coming period.
During PI Planning, a leader notices that a team is not speaking to other teams about their dependencies. What is the best leadership action?
Explanation: Collaboration is the foundation of PI Planning. When a team works in isolation, they are likely to create hidden dependencies that will cause major issues later. The leader must step in to encourage and facilitate these conversations, showing the team that the 'big picture' requires active cross-team communication. This not only solves the immediate problem but also reinforces the importance of the ART-level planning mindset.
Which TWO actions should a leader take if the 'Program Board' shows a significant, unmitigated dependency?
Explanation: When an unmitigated dependency exists on the Program Board, it represents a high risk to the PI. A leader must take swift action to ensure the team has the help they need. By facilitating communication and adjusting the plan, the leader fulfills the role of removing obstacles and ensures the train's success, preventing the dependency from becoming a surprise blocker later.
During PI Planning, a team's Product Owner realizes that a critical feature depends on a component owned by another team that is not present at the event. The dependency was not identified in the Program Board. What is the most appropriate action for the Product Owner to take?
Explanation: Collaborating with present teams to adjust the plan or find a workaround is the most effective action. It leverages the collective knowledge at PI Planning, maintains team empowerment, and keeps the plan on track. This approach aligns with SAFe's principles of decentralized decision-making and applying cadence and synchronization.
You are a Product Manager for an ART that is about to conduct PI Planning. You want to ensure that the Business Owners are effectively engaged throughout the event. Which two of the following are key responsibilities of Business Owners during PI Planning? (Choose two.)
Explanation: Business Owners are key participants in PI Planning. They provide feedback on draft objectives to ensure alignment with business goals and ultimately approve the final plan. These responsibilities are critical for ensuring that the ART delivers value and that teams have the necessary support and direction.
