Program-level SAFe teams deliver value through which artifacts?

• A. User stories and tasks
• B. Architecture diagrams
• C. Features and benefits
• D. Epics and capabilities

Answer: (C)

Program-level SAFe teams focus on delivering value by articulating what the program will enable for customers and the business in a given Increment. Features are the tangible program backlog items that describe customer-visible capabilities the system will deliver, and each feature has an associated benefit that states the business value it is intended to achieve. This pairing keeps work aligned with outcomes and provides a clear basis for prioritization and measuring success during PI Planning and execution. While team-level artifacts like user stories and tasks drill into implementation, and architectural diagrams or larger items like epics and capabilities address design or broader scope, the primary program-level artifacts geared toward value delivery are features accompanied by the benefits they bring.
