According to thePI Objectivesarticle on the Scaled Agile Framework website, uncommitted objectives are used to identify work that can be variable within the scope of a PI. The article states that ''Uncommitted objectives help improve the predictability of delivering business value since they are not included in the team's commitment or counted against teams in the ART predictability measure. Uncommitted objectives are used to identify work that can be variable within the scope of a PI. The work is planned, but the outcome is simply not certain. Teams can apply uncommitted objectives whenever there is low confidence in meeting the objective, but include in their plan.'' Therefore, the correct answer is B, teams have low confidence they can meet the objective, but include in their plan. The other options are not accurate, as they do not reflect the definition of uncommitted objectives.

According to theImplementation Roadmaparticle on the Scaled Agile Framework website, organizations begin realizing better results when following the Implementation Roadmap as soon as the first Program Increment (PI). The article states that ''The first PI is a critical milestone. It's the first time the new ART delivers a fully integrated and tested increment of value. It's also the first time the ART demonstrates its new way of working to the enterprise and its stakeholders. The first PI is a big deal. It's a celebration of the new culture and the new way of working. It's also the first time the enterprise can see the benefits of the new approach.'' Therefore, the correct answer is B, as soon as the first Program Increment. The other options are not accurate, as the roadmap consists of more than just steps, training, or metrics. It is a continuous journey of learning and improvement.

According to theSAFe for Government course, strategic themes assist with epic evaluation and decision-making.Strategic themes are specific, itemized business objectives that connect a portfolio to the enterprise's business strategy1.They provide guidance for the portfolio vision, budget allocation, and the prioritization of epics1.Strategic themes help to align the portfolio with the enterprise's mission and vision, and to ensure that the epics deliver the most value to the customers and stakeholders1.

Strategic themes are specific business objectives that connect a portfolio to the enterprise strategy. They provide guidance for the portfolio vision, budget allocation, and metric selection.They also assist with epic evaluation and decision-making by providing a context for assessing the value and alignment of epics12

According to theLean-Agile Leadershiparticle on the Scaled Agile Framework website, psychological safety occurs when leaders create an environment for risk-taking that supports change without fear of negative consequences to self-image, status, or career. The article states that ''Psychological safety is a shared belief that the team is safe for interpersonal risk-taking. It can be defined as 'being able to show and employ one's self without fear of negative consequences of self-image, status, or career.' In psychologically safe teams, team members feel accepted and respected. They are confident that no one on the team will embarrass or punish anyone else for admitting a mistake, asking a question, or offering a new idea.'' Therefore, the correct answer is B, psychological safety. The other options are not accurate, as they are not the terms that describe the outcome of creating an environment for risk-taking that supports change without fear of negative consequences. Decentralized decision-making (A) is a principle, not an outcome, of Lean-Agile leadership. Emotional intelligence is a skill, not an outcome, of Lean-Agile leadership. Alignment (D) is a value, not an outcome, of Lean-Agile leadership.

According to theApply Cadence, Synchronize with Cross-Domain Planningarticle on the Scaled Agile Framework website, cadence is the term that describes converting unpredictable events into predictable ones. The article states that ''Cadence is the rhythm, or heartbeat, of the Agile Release Train (ART). It provides a steady and predictable pattern for planning, developing, and delivering value. Cadence helps teams manage the variability inherent in product development. By converting unpredictable events into predictable ones, cadence enables fast and reliable decision-making.'' Therefore, the correct answer is C, cadence. The other options are not accurate, as they are not the terms that describe converting unpredictable events into predictable ones. Innovation and Planning (IP) Iteration (A) is a special iteration that occurs at the end of every Program Increment (PI) and provides an opportunity for innovation, planning, and system-level integration and testing. Program Increment (PI) Planning (B) is a face-to-face event that serves as the heartbeat of the ART, aligning all the teams on the ART to a shared mission and vision. Backlog refinement (D) is the process of breaking down, estimating, and prioritizing the backlog items.
