Selected Answer: D
Epics consist of Features, which consist of User Stories, which consist of Tasks. We want them to work together (on Epics and Features) and enable them to work autonomously (on User Stories and Tasks).

In Agile Scrum we have epic->user story->task, e.g. read https://adaptmethodology.com/epic-user-story-task/ In this case the question speak about agile therefore we want user stories (from the link above: User stories are regarded as the “heart of Scrum” because they serve as the ‘building blocks’ of the sprint), hence answer is D and neither features (A or C) nor initiatives (B)

Agree. By documentation Scrum: Epic > Feature > Product backlog item > Task Agile (including Scrum): Epic > Feature > User story > Task https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/boards/work-items/guidance/choose-process?view=azure-devops&tabs=agile-process Thus, the answer is either Story/Task or Item/Task

it is D, read the "Line of autonomy " of the link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/devops/plan/scaling-agile#line-of-autonomy. Epics and Features owns by Management while dev teams own the stories and tasks.

I think it's C. The common goals are the Epics, which are achieved through features. A team owns an epic and then the team splits the epic into features so that each member of the team can work on something different at the same time.

Correct answer is C - Epics and Features. Why ? A - Features and Tasks - while features and tasks are part of agile, this granularity is TOO small for organizing multiple teams B - Initiatives and Epics - granularity is too large. Initiatives are usually managed by program managers, not teams. D - Stories and tasks - granularity is too small. This combo is usually done withing one team for an interation.
