Course Description

I have designed this practice exam suite to be the ultimate study companion for aspiring SAFe® 6 Product Owners and Product Managers. With a focus on the transition to SAFe 6, these tests go beyond simple definitions, challenging you with the situational and scenario-based questions that often appear in the actual 90-minute exam.

Navigating the complexities of Lean-Agile at scale requires more than just reading the framework. By working through these practice questions, I help you internalize the mindset needed to manage backlogs, prioritize via WSJF, and lead PI Planning sessions effectively. Every question includes a meticulous breakdown of why the correct answer aligns with SAFe® 6 core values.

Sample Practice Questions

• Question 1: During PI Planning, the Product Management team is responsible for which of the following activities?

  • A. Assigning specific technical tasks to individual developers.

  • B. Presenting the Program Vision and the top 10 Features.

  • C. Defining the architectural runway for the next three years.

  • D. Managing the daily stand-up for all teams in the ART.

  • E. Approving individual vacation schedules for the Scrum Masters.

  • F. Writing the unit tests for the upcoming features.

  • Correct Answer: B

  • Explanation:

    • B (Correct): Product Management owns the Vision and the Roadmap, and presenting the top Features is a critical part of the PI Planning launch.

    • A (Incorrect): Teams are self-organizing; Product Management does not assign individual tasks.

    • C (Incorrect): System Architecture and Engineering typically own the long-term architectural runway.

    • D (Incorrect): This is the responsibility of the Release Train Engineer (RTE) and the individual teams.

    • E (Incorrect): Personnel management remains within the functional or departmental leadership, not Product Management.

    • F (Incorrect): Testing is an execution activity performed by the Agile Teams.

• Question 2: Which technique is used in SAFe to prioritize the Program Backlog based on the cost of delay and the size of the job?

  • A. First-In, First-Out (FIFO).

  • B. Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF).

  • C. MoSCoW Method (Must have, Should have, Could have, Won't have).

  • D. Highest Paid Person's Opinion (HiPPO).

  • E. Round-robin assignment.

  • F. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

  • Correct Answer: B

  • Explanation:

    • B (Correct): WSJF is the standard SAFe model for prioritizing based on economic value (Cost of Delay divided by Job Size).

    • A (Incorrect): FIFO does not account for business value or urgency.

    • C (Incorrect): While used in some Agile methods, MoSCoW is not the primary economic prioritization tool in SAFe.

    • D (Incorrect): This is an anti-pattern that Lean-Agile seeks to eliminate.

    • E (Incorrect): This is an arbitrary distribution method, not a prioritization tool.

    • F (Incorrect): TCO is a financial metric for assets but doesn't function as a backlog prioritization formula.

• Question 3: How does a Product Owner contribute to the "Built-in Quality" core value?

  • A. By focusing exclusively on speed and ignoring technical debt.

  • B. By collaborating with the team to define clear Acceptance Criteria.

  • C. By acting as the primary quality assurance tester for every line of code.

  • D. By increasing the pressure on developers to skip documentation.

  • E. By choosing the cheapest tools available for development.

  • F. By manually rewriting the code when the team is busy.

  • Correct Answer: B

  • Explanation:

    • B (Correct): Clear Acceptance Criteria ensure that the team understands the "Definition of Done" and built-in quality requirements from the start.

    • A (Incorrect): Ignoring technical debt destroys long-term quality and agility.

    • C (Incorrect): The PO reviews work but should not be the bottleneck or the sole tester.

    • D (Incorrect): Pressure to skip essential steps leads to poor quality and high defect rates.

    • E (Incorrect): Tooling decisions should be based on efficacy and value, not just cost.

    • F (Incorrect): The PO is a business/functional role, not a coder for the team's sprint work.
