Question

Options

• DManaging teams by the Release Train Engineer.

• B

• C
  94% (29)

Explanation

ROAM is a SAFe risk management technique applied specifically during PI Planning, where teams identify program-level risks and collaboratively categorize each one as Resolved, Owned, Accepted, or Mitigated - making C the correct answer.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Program Backlog refinement) uses prioritization techniques like WSJF (Weighted Shortest Job First), not ROAM.
• B (ART Sync) is a recurring coordination ceremony focused on progress and impediment removal - risk categorization is not its purpose.
• D (RTE managing teams) is too vague and describes a general role function; the RTE facilitates ROAM during PI Planning, but ROAM itself is a risk categorization activity, not a team management technique.

Memory tip: Think "ROAM the risks at PI Planning" - risks surface when teams plan together, so you ROAM through them right there to decide each risk's fate before the PI begins.
