What are the three levels of the Scaled Agile Framework?

Question

Options

• AValue Stream, Program, Team
• BEpic, Capability, Feature
• CFramework, Delivery, Iteration
• DEssential, Large Solution, Portfolio

• B
  6% (1)
• D
  94% (16)

Explanation

Option D is correct because SAFe defines three primary configurations (often called levels): Essential SAFe (the foundational baseline), Large Solution SAFe (for complex systems requiring multiple Agile Release Trains), and Portfolio SAFe (aligning strategy and investment with execution at the enterprise level).

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Value Stream, Program, Team) - These are organizational constructs or roles within SAFe, not the three named levels/configurations.
• B (Epic, Capability, Feature) - These are work item types in the SAFe backlog hierarchy, not levels of the framework itself.
• C (Framework, Delivery, Iteration) - This is fabricated terminology; none of these are official SAFe level names.

Memory tip: Think of the acronym "ELP" - Essential, Large Solution, Portfolio - as in scaling up from the basics ("essential") to handling complex systems ("large solution") to steering the whole enterprise ("portfolio").
