Outputs from Release Planning event?

• A. Team SMART objective, PI Plan, confidence to objectives
• B. PI Plan, Team SMART objective, confidence to objectives
• C. Team SMART objective, PI Plan, milestones to objectives
• D. Team SMART objective, PI Plan, confidence to objectives and milestones

Answer: (B)

Release Planning produces a compact, committed plan for the upcoming Program Increment. The key outputs are the PI Plan, which captures the integrated work across teams and the dependencies, the Team SMART objectives that translate the plan into measurable team commitments, and the confidence to objectives, shown as a confidence vote on whether the PI objectives can be met. This combination gives everyone a shared view of what will be delivered, how it will be measured, and how confident the teams are in achieving it.

The other options introduce elements that aren’t standard outputs of Release Planning or mix them in a way that doesn’t reflect the typical artifacts. Milestones, for example, aren’t cited as a formal output alongside the plan and team objectives, and the emphasis is on the plan plus the team-specific objectives and the confidence vote.
