Explanation

Business Owners are critical SAFe stakeholders who actively engage during PI Planning by assigning business value (a numeric score of 1–10) to Team PI Objectives (A), and they also participate in Post-PI Planning to help ARTs adjust and coordinate their plans across the solution (B).

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • C is a trap - Business Owners assign value to Team Objectives, not to Epics or Features; that work belongs to Lean Portfolio Management and Product Management respectively.
  • D is the Release Train Engineer's (or Solution Train Engineer's) responsibility, not the Business Owner's.
  • E - the product Roadmap is owned by Product Management, not Business Owners, who advise on priorities but don't drive the roadmap.

Memory tip: Think of Business Owners as "value voters" - their signature role is voting on business value during PI events (PI Planning and Post-PI Planning). If an answer involves creating or owning artifacts like roadmaps, features, or demos, it belongs to a different role.
