Stakeholders
Key SAFe stakeholders accountable for business outcomes, ROI, and governance of the ART.
Business Owners (typically 3–5) assign business value to PI Objectives, participate in PI Planning, and make go/no-go decisions at System Demos and Inspect & Adapt. The concept exists informally elsewhere (as "stakeholders") but with far less formal authority.
