If all Agile Release Trains in a Value Stream are organized around Capabilities, they don't require cross-train coordination.
The correct answer is B. False.

Explanation
B is correct because organizing ARTs around Capabilities reduces some dependencies but does not eliminate cross-train coordination - Capabilities by definition span multiple ARTs and still require integration, synchronization, and shared PI Planning at the Solution Train level. SAFe explicitly provides Solution Train Events (such as Pre- and Post-PI Planning) precisely because cross-ART coordination remains necessary regardless of how trains are organized.
A (True) is wrong because no organizational structure removes all cross-ART dependencies in a Value Stream; shared infrastructure, architecture decisions, and end-to-end value delivery always create coordination needs.
Memory tip: Think "Capabilities cross ARTs by definition - if they didn't, they'd just be Features." The word "Capability" is your cue that Solution-level coordination is always in play.
