Explanation
Program Backlog is where features live in SAFe because features are the primary work item managed at the ART (Agile Release Train) level - they are identified from business needs, prioritized using WSJF (Weighted Shortest Job First), estimated in story points, and continuously maintained by Product Management.
Why the distractors are wrong:
- A. Solution Backlog - holds Capabilities (larger than features), managed at the Large Solution level above the ART
- C. Portfolio Backlog - holds Epics, the largest work items managed at the portfolio level by Lean Portfolio Management
- D. Team Backlog - holds Stories and Enabler Stories; features are decomposed into stories here, not stored as features
Memory tip: Use the SAFe hierarchy top-down - Portfolio → Solution → Program → Team maps to Epics → Capabilities → Features → Stories. Features belong to Program, so when you see "feature backlog," think Program backlog.
