Which two views does the Iteration review provide into the program? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• AHow the team is responding to the stakeholders
• BHow the team is doing on the Program Increment
• CHow the team is increasing empowerment
• DHow the team is demonstrating transparency of decision-making
• EHow the team did on the Iteration

• A
  4% (2)
• B
  90% (46)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  4% (2)

Explanation

B and E are correct because the Iteration Review serves a dual purpose in SAFe: it looks backward at what the team accomplished in the just-completed iteration (E), and upward at how that progress maps to the larger Program Increment goals (B). Together, these two lenses give teams and stakeholders a localized picture and a broader PI-level health check simultaneously.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (responding to stakeholders) - Stakeholder responsiveness is not a defined output of the Iteration Review; that's more of a general team behavior, not a specific "view" the ceremony provides.
• C (increasing empowerment) - Empowerment is a cultural/leadership concern addressed through team norms and retrospectives, not the Iteration Review.
• D (transparency of decision-making) - Decision transparency is a value, not a structured view that the Iteration Review produces.

Memory tip: Think of the Iteration Review as a zoom lens - zoom in to see "How did this iteration go?" (E), then zoom out to see "Where does this put us on the PI?" (B). Two lenses, two answers.
