Scaled Agile SAFe-SASM Exam - Topic 7 Question 27 Discussion

Actual exam question for Scaled Agile's SAFe-SASM exam
Question #: 27
Topic #: 7
[All SAFe-SASM Questions]

A Scrum Master is asked to help an Agile Release Train that has struggled through multiple Pls. They just finished the second Iteration in the current PI and have nothing to show at the System Demo. The ART stakeholders are concerned. What should be done?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Problem Statement: The ART has nothing to show at the System Demo, indicating potential issues with integration, quality, or coordination among teams.

Recommended Action: Stopping new development work to focus on integrating and testing the system allows the team to identify and resolve integration issues, ensuring that the system is in a stable state.

Scope Adjustment: Based on what is learned during integration and testing, the scope can be adjusted to focus on delivering a coherent and functional system increment.

SAFe Scrum Master Reference:

SAFe emphasizes the importance of a stable, integrated system increment to demonstrate progress and ensure quality. Addressing integration issues promptly is crucial for maintaining stakeholder confidence and delivering value.

Re-architecting (D) sounds risky, dependencies are part of Agile.

Re-architecting the system sounds drastic. I feel like we learned that dependencies are common, and just ignoring them might lead to bigger issues later on.

I vaguely recall a case study where they brought in a vendor for integration. It seemed to work, but I wonder if that’s a sustainable solution for this ART.

I think having each team demonstrate their increments separately could help identify issues, but it might not address the bigger integration problem we talked about in class.

I remember we discussed the importance of integration during our Agile training. Stopping new functionality to focus on integration seems like a solid approach, but I'm not sure if it's the best option right now.

Finding a vendor to help with integration, as in option C, could be a good short-term solution. But I'd want to make sure we're also building up our own integration capabilities.

I like the idea of having the teams demo their increments separately in option B. That could help identify where the integration problems are.

I'm a bit confused by the question. Wouldn't option D just be kicking the can down the road? Seems like we need to address the integration challenges head-on.

A vendor to handle integration? What is this, a tech support hotline? C'mon, we're Agilists, we can do this ourselves. Option A all the way!

D? Rearch the system? Sounds like a lot of work. I'd rather go with the tried and true 'stop and integrate' approach. Keeps it simple, you know?

Option B? Really? Showing off individual team increments? That's like a chef presenting individual ingredients instead of the whole meal. Nah, not gonna fly.
