What is one purpose of the Coach Sync?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

In SAFe, the Coach Sync (also known as the Scrum of Scrums or SM/TC Sync) is a coordination event for Scrum Masters and Team Coaches within an Agile Release Train (ART). The main purpose of this event is to gain visibility into team progress, discuss impediments, and ensure cross-team alignment.

Facilitated by the Release Train Engineer (RTE), the Coach Sync promotes transparency across the ART by allowing Scrum Masters to share information about iteration status, dependencies, and challenges that may affect other teams. It also serves as a forum for escalating ART-level impediments.

From SAFe guidance:

''The Coach Sync provides Scrum Masters and Team Coaches with visibility into progress and dependencies across teams and enables them to coordinate and remove impediments at the ART level.''

Thus, the correct answer is C. To gain visibility into progress, as this captures the event's primary purpose.

Not sure if it's just about visibility... feels too narrow.

I thought the main goal was to perform ART retrospectives, but that doesn't seem right now. Maybe it's more about visibility?

I feel like we practiced a question similar to this, and prioritizing the Coach backlog seemed important, but I can't recall if it was the main purpose.

I remember something about sharing facilitation ideas being a part of it too, but that might be for a different context.
