Scaled Agile SSM Exam - Topic 3 Question 61 Discussion

Within a SAFe Agile Release Train (ART), all teams work together toward a common mission guided by a single Program Backlog. This shared backlog aligns every team's work to the same vision, ensuring coordination and synchronization.

This structure fosters transparency, dependency management, and alignment across all teams, allowing them to collaborate effectively while maintaining autonomy within their scope. The ART operates under the principle of ''aligning with a common mission and cadence.''

From SAFe guidance:

''All teams on an ART share a common vision and a single Program Backlog that defines the work necessary to realize that vision.''

Thus, the correct answer is D. A common mission using a single backlog.
