Full set: 87 questions
Answer options
A: Iteration Retrospective
B: Backlog refinement
C: Solution Demo
D: Product Owner sync Correct answer
Correct Answer:
D. Product Owner sync
Explanation

The Product Owner (PO) Sync is a core Agile Release Train (ART) event. It provides a regular cadence for Product Owners and Product Management to align on the ART Backlog, discuss dependencies, and prepare for upcoming Program Increment (PI) Planning. This event ensures the ART's efforts are synchronized and focused on delivering the most valuable features. It is distinct from team-level events or events for larger Solution Trains.

Why Incorrect

A. Iteration Retrospective: This is a team-level event for a single Agile Team to reflect on its process, not an event for the entire Agile Release Train.
B. Backlog refinement: This is a continuous activity, not a formal, timeboxed event on the ART calendar like PI Planning or the System Demo.
C. Solution Demo: This is an event for a Solution Train, which coordinates multiple ARTs. The equivalent event for a single ART is the System Demo.
