SAFe Agilist (SA) – Leading SAFe — Question 32

Why is it important to decouple deployment from release?

Answer options

• A. To make deploying of assets a business decision
• B. To enable releasing functionality on demand to meet business needs
• C. To remove the need to respond quickly to production issues
• D. To allow inspection of Agile maturity based on different cycle times

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, highlights the advantage of being able to release new features as needed based on business demands, rather than being tied to a deployment schedule. Option A misinterprets the purpose of deployment, while C incorrectly suggests that speed in addressing production issues is not necessary, and D focuses on Agile maturity rather than the deployment-release relationship.
