SP-SAFe-Practitioner Exam Question 83
What is the typical timebox in which to complete a User Story?
Correct Answer: A
Explanation A User Story is a short description of a piece of functionality that delivers value to a customer or stakeholder. It is typically written from the perspective of an end user and follows the format: "As a <role>, I want <something>, so that <benefit>". User Stories are the primary elements of the Team Backlog and are used to plan and execute the Iteration. User Stories should be small enough to be completed within one Iteration, which is usually two weeks long. If a User Story is too large or complex, it should be split into smaller stories that can fit within the Iteration timebox. This ensures that the team can deliver value frequently and receive feedback quickly.

SP-SAFe-Practitioner Exam Question 84
On the seventh day of the Iteration, the team realizes that they will not complete 5 of the 13 Stories. The Product Owner (PO) says she cannot negotiate the scope of the remaining Stories any further. What is the PO's best course of action?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation The PO's best course of action is to communicate the status of the Iteration to all stakeholders, including the other teams on the Agile Release Train (ART), the Release Train Engineer (RTE), the System Architect/Engineer, the Product Management, and the Business Owners. This will help to align expectations, manage dependencies, and mitigate risks. The PO should also collaborate with the team and the stakeholders to prioritize the remaining work and identify the most valuable Stories to deliver by the end of the Iteration. The PO should not defer acceptance testing to the next Iteration, as this would violate the Definition of Done and compromise the quality of the system increment. The PO should not have an emergency Iteration Planning meeting, as this would disrupt the cadence and synchronization of the ART and waste time and resources. The PO should not stop the current Iteration and plan a new Iteration with the new knowledge, as this would also disrupt the cadence and synchronization of the ART and create confusion and uncertainty.
