What is the target percentage for the Program Predictability Measure?

The correct answer is C. 80-100%. Option C (80-100%) is correct because the Program Predictability Measure (PPM) - a SAFe metric tracking how well Agile Release Trains deliver on their committed PI Objectives - targets a range of 80% to 100%, reflecting reliable but realistic delivery. A score below 80%…

Explanation

Option C (80-100%) is correct because the Program Predictability Measure (PPM) - a SAFe metric tracking how well Agile Release Trains deliver on their committed PI Objectives - targets a range of 80% to 100%, reflecting reliable but realistic delivery. A score below 80% indicates the team is consistently over-committing or under-delivering. Options A (<50%) and B (50-75%) represent poor predictability and would signal serious planning or execution problems. Option D (100%) is intentionally excluded as a target because perfect scores every PI can indicate sandbagging - teams gaming the metric by only committing to work they're certain to complete - which undermines the purpose of stretch objectives. Memory tip: Think of PPM like a school grade - you're aiming for a B to A range (80-100%), not perfection, and certainly not a failing score.
