A worked example

A question from the bank with its answer and the reasoning behind it. Every practice question comes with an explanation like this one.

What is a persona used for in SAFe design thinking?

  • AA profile of a representative user, used to keep decisions anchored to a specific person's context and goals(correct answer)
  • BA role definition within the Agile Release Train
  • CA category of feature in the ART Backlog
  • DA stakeholder group entitled to attend the System Demo

Why

Personas make 'the user' concrete enough to argue with. Without one, teams design for an average user who does not exist and whose needs are, conveniently, whatever the team already wanted to build.
