Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) Scrum Master Practice Test

What is one question a Scrum Master/Team Coach must answer during PI Planning Coach Sync?

1. Have you identified an ART risks?

2. What are the customer satisfaction metrics?

3. Are all team members present for the meeting?

4. What tools are being used for project management?

The correct answer is: Have you identified an ART risks?

During PI Planning Coach Sync, one of the key responsibilities of a Scrum Master or Team Coach is to ensure that potential risks are identified and addressed. Identifying ART (Agile Release Train) risks is crucial because it helps teams proactively manage uncertainties that could impact the successful delivery of objectives during the Program Increment. By bringing this focus on risks, the Scrum Master can facilitate discussions that lead to risk mitigation strategies, ensuring that the ART operates smoothly. The other possible options, such as customer satisfaction metrics, attendance of team members, and project management tools, while important, do not fundamentally align with the primary focus of PI Planning Coach Sync. Customer satisfaction metrics are typically more relevant in retrospective phases rather than planning. Team attendance is certainly relevant, but the focus during sync is more on aligning on risks and strategies rather than just presence. Similarly, the specific tools for project management can vary widely and are less relevant to the overarching goal of managing risks and ensuring alignment throughout the ART.
