Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown

- ✓
Use the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) with program increment planning.
Why this is correct

Keep teams independent by decoupling all dependencies.
Why it's wrong here
Complete decoupling is rarely feasible in complex systems.

Have all teams work in the same Sprint but with no synchronization.
