 The ART Planning Board, also known as the Program Board, is a visualization of the PI’s feature delivery dates, feature dependencies among teams, and relevant milestones. The primary purpose of the ART Planning Board is to show dependencies between teams relating to the Feature development, so that they can be identified, managed, and resolved during PI Planning and execution. The ART Planning Board also helps align teams and stakeholders to a shared mission and vision, and provides transparency and visibility into the ART’s progress and risks. References: ART Planning Board, PI Planning, Exam Study Guide: SP (6.0) - SAFe Practitioner

The purpose of building a continuous delivery pipeline is to enable a streamlined and automated process of delivering software value to the end users. A continuous delivery pipeline consists of four aspects: continuous exploration, continuous integration, continuous deployment, and release on demand. These aspects work together to support the delivery of small batches of new functionality, which are then released to fulfill market demand. Building and maintaining a continuous delivery pipeline allows each Agile Release Train (ART) to deliver new functionality to users far more frequently than with traditional processes, which often involve long and complex release cycles. By delivering value more frequently, the ART can respond faster to customer feedback, reduce waste, improve quality, and increase business agility. References: Continuous Delivery Pipeline - Scaled Agile Framework, Continuous Delivery Pipeline - Scaled Agile Framework, SAFe Continuous Delivery Pipeline: A Comprehensive Guide to the …, Continuous Delivery Pipeline: The 5 Stages Explained - Codefresh

n: Product Management is responsible for defining desirable, viable, feasible, and sustainable solutions that meet customer needs and supporting development across the product life cycle. They align the product strategy, vision, and roadmap to the portfolio’s strategic themes and lean budgets. They also create, maintain, and adjust the program backlog, which contains the features and enablers that the Agile Release Train (ART) will implement. They work with customers, teams, and product owners to understand and communicate their needs and participate in solution validation. They also collaborate with system architects and the release train engineer to guide the ART toward successful delivery12. References: Product Management - Scaled Agile Framework, Agile Release Train - Scaled Agile Framework

The Iteration Review is a cadence-based event, where each team inspects the increment at the end of every Iteration to assess progress, and then adjusts its backlog for the next iteration. During the Iteration review, each Agile Team measures and then demonstrates its progress by showing working stories to the Product Owner and other stakeholders to get their feedback1. The Iteration Review provides two views into the program: how the team is doing on the Program Increment and how the team did on the Iteration. The first view shows how the team is progressing toward its Team Program Increment (PI) Objectives, which are the measurable outcomes that the team intends to achieve in a PI2. The second view shows how the team performed in the current Iteration, based on the Iteration Goals and the completed stories1. The other options are not views that the Iteration Review provides into the program, but rather aspects of the team culture or behavior that may be influenced by other events or practices in SAFe. References: Iteration Review - Scaled Agile Framework, Team PI Objectives - Scaled Agile Framework
