Full set: 269 questions
Answer options
A: One month
B: One year
C: One Iteration
D: One PI Correct answer
Correct Answer:
D. One PI
Explanation

In SAFe, a Feature is a unit of work that delivers business value and fulfills a stakeholder need. A key characteristic of a Feature is its size. To ensure a continuous flow of value and enable effective planning and execution for an Agile Release Train (ART), Features are defined and sized to be completed within a single Program Increment (PI). If a business need is too large to fit into one PI, it is typically defined as an Epic and broken down into smaller Features.

Why Incorrect

A. One month is not a standard SAFe timebox for sizing Features; it is shorter than a typical PI.
B. One year is far too long for a Feature; work of this magnitude would be classified as a Portfolio Epic.
C. One Iteration is the timebox for a Story, which is a smaller component of a Feature.
