What are stretch objectives?

• A. They provide reliability and guard bandwidth
• B. They replace the main objectives
• C. They are the same as the committed objectives
• D. They are optional and never used

Answer: (A)

Stretch objectives are optional work that a team would attempt only if there is extra capacity after delivering the committed PI Objectives. They provide a plan for additional value without making promises that could jeopardize the baseline, helping reliability by keeping focus on what must be delivered and guarding bandwidth by signaling that any extra work depends on available resources. They aren’t the same as the committed objectives, and they aren’t guaranteed or always used; they are a target for stretch if capacity allows.
