Question #: 42
Topic #: 6

[All SAFe-SGP Questions]

When should government technology programs be organized as Solution Trains?

AWhen the program crosses multiple agency divisions or branches

BWhen the cost of the program exceeds $100M

CWhen the program involves classified information

DWhen the size and complexity require two or more ARTs

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

According to theSolution Trainarticle on the Scaled Agile Framework website, Solution Trains are the organizational construct used to build large solutions that require the coordination of multiple ARTs and suppliers. The article states that ''Solution Trains form for different reasons. Some trains form with new ARTs and Agile Teams to specifically address a large initiative, while others begin by combining existing ARTs and teams.'' Therefore, the correct answer is D, when the size and complexity require two or more ARTs. The other options are not relevant to the definition of a Solution Train.

I'm going with A. If it's crossing agency lines, you need that coordination that Solution Trains provide.

Option D makes the most sense. If you need more than one ARTs, you're probably dealing with a complex program.

Solution Trains are for when the program is a real train wreck, not just a $100M one.

I remember a practice question that mentioned classified information, but I don’t think that alone determines the need for a Solution Train. I’m leaning away from C.

I feel like the cost factor is important too, but I can't recall if $100M is the threshold we discussed. It seems like a lot, so maybe B is relevant?

I’m not entirely sure, but I think we talked about how Solution Trains are necessary when multiple divisions are involved. That makes me lean towards A.

I remember discussing Solution Trains in class, and I think they’re mainly used when a program is too complex for just one Agile Release Train. So, maybe D is the right answer?

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The question is asking when a Solution Train approach should be used, so I need to identify the key criteria for that. I'll eliminate the options that don't seem relevant.

Ugh, I'm a bit lost on this. I know Solution Trains have to do with coordinating multiple Agile Release Trains, but I'm not sure how that applies to government programs. Guess I'll have to make an educated guess.

I've got a good feeling about this one. The question is asking specifically about government technology programs, so I'll focus on the unique considerations there.

Okay, let's see. I think the key here is understanding what a Solution Train is and how it differs from other Agile approaches. I'll need to review my notes on that.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the key factors that determine when a Solution Train approach is appropriate.
