What is one goal of the Iteration Review?

According to the SAFe® Iteration Review process (adapted from Scrum’s Sprint Review), the primary goal is to inspect the completed increment and gather feedback from stakeholders. This event focuses on demonstrating working software or system increments produced during the iteration. The team and stakeholders then discuss what was accomplished, any changes in priorities, and what might be done next to ensure continuous alignment with business needs.

The Iteration Review is not about planning or adding new acceptance criteria (which happens during refinement) nor about demonstrating work from a previous PI. Instead, it’s about validating the current increment and using feedback to adjust the upcoming work accordingly.

From SAFe guidance:

“The Iteration Review provides a mechanism for the team to demonstrate the increment to stakeholders and collect feedback. This feedback helps ensure that the team continues to deliver value aligned with customer needs.”

Therefore, the correct answer is D. To receive feedback on the increment, as this is the key objective of the Iteration Review.
