What does the ART program vision express?

• A. Expresses the detailed technical design of the system
• B. Specifies quarterly budgets for teams
• C. Expresses strategic intent, may be expressed in a variety of forms
• D. Defines the exact features to be delivered in the next PI

Answer: (C)

The ART vision expresses the strategic intent behind the train. It communicates why the ART exists, the business outcomes it aims to achieve, and how the work will deliver value to customers and stakeholders. This is high-level and future-oriented, and it can be captured in a variety of practical forms—vision statements, roadmaps, or other lightweight artifacts—depending on what works best for the organization. It isn’t a detailed technical design, a quarterly budget, or a list of exact features for the next PI. Those details live in the backlog and PI planning artifacts. The vision provides guidance for prioritization, epic decisions, and alignment with strategic themes, acting as a north star for the ART as it plans and delivers.
