SSM Supporting ART Events Practice Question
The Inspect and Adapt (I&A) event consists of three parts. Which THREE of the following are those parts? (Choose three.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often include 'Iteration Review' or 'Sprint Planning' as part of the I&A, failing to recognize the specific three components: Demo, Measurement, and Problem-Solving.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
The PI System Demo.
The Inspect and Adapt event is a significant event held at the end of each PI. It consists of three distinct parts that ensure the ART is delivering value, meeting its commitments, and improving its processes. Understanding these parts helps the Scrum Master facilitate the team's participation effectively.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The PI System Demo.
Why this is correct
The PI System Demo is the first part of the I&A, where the ART shows the current state of the Solution to stakeholders. It provides the factual basis for the rest of the event by demonstrating what was actually built and integrated during the entire Program Increment.
- ✗
The Final Plan Review.
Why it's wrong here
The Final Plan Review is a part of the PI Planning event, not the Inspect and Adapt event. While both events involve review and adaptation, the Final Plan Review is focused on the plan for the *upcoming* PI, whereas I&A focuses on the *past* PI's results.
- ✓
Quantitative and Qualitative Measurement.
Why this is correct
In this part, the ART reviews the PI predictability measure and other metrics. This data provides an objective view of performance, helping the teams and leadership understand how well they are meeting their commitments and where the process might be breaking down across the train.
- ✗
The Confidence Vote.
Why it's wrong here
The Confidence Vote is a specific activity within PI Planning used to gauge the ART's belief in the proposed plan. It is not part of the Inspect and Adapt event, which is focused on demonstrating the solution and solving systemic problems after the PI has concluded.
- ✓
The Problem-Solving Workshop.
Why this is correct
The Problem-Solving Workshop is the final part of the I&A. Teams identify systemic problems, perform root cause analysis, and create improvement backlog items. It is the primary mechanism for the ART to implement the SAFe core value of Relentless Improvement at the train level.
