Explanation

Iteration Planning, Iteration Review, and Backlog Refinement are Team events in SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) because they occur at the Agile Team level within a single iteration (sprint) cadence - they involve only the team itself, not the broader program or train.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (PI event): PI (Program Increment) events span multiple teams and multiple iterations - e.g., PI Planning and the Inspect & Adapt workshop operate at the ART level across ~10 weeks, not within a single team's iteration.
• C (Sync event): Sync events (like Scrum of Scrums or ART Sync) are coordination touchpoints between teams or roles, not team-internal ceremonies.
• D (Program event): Program events involve the full Agile Release Train (ART) - e.g., System Demo - not a single team's workflow.

Memory tip: Think "T" for Team = small scope. If the event happens inside one team's iteration box on the SAFe Big Picture, it's a Team event. If it spans teams or the whole train, it's Program or PI.
