Which role is responsible for assigning business value to release objectives?

• A. The Executive
• B. Business Owner
• C. System Architect
• D. Scrum Master

Answer: (B)

In SAFe, the Business Owner is responsible for assigning business value to release objectives. They represent the business side and own the expected outcomes of the Agile Release Train, so they rate each Release Objective to reflect its importance and potential impact on business goals. This value scoring guides prioritization, planning, and decision-making about what to commit to in the PI. While executives provide overall direction and other roles like System Architect or Scrum Master support execution, the authority to assign the value of objectives sits with the Business Owner.
