PI Planning – Health Check
Is your PI Planning delivering the expected value, or are inefficiencies slowing you down?
Find out with our specially curated PI Planning health check.
Why PI Planning Fails to Deliver the Expected Impact and Outcome
Despite being a cornerstone of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), many organizations struggle to realize the full benefits of PI Planning. Instead of driving alignment, predictability, and value delivery, PI Planning often becomes a time-consuming event that fails to create the expected business impact. Over time, several elements are “retrospected away” to make it lightweight and makes the problem even bigger.
What is the PI Planning – Health Check?
The PI Planning Health-Check is designed to help Agile Release Trains (ARTs) and organizations identify gaps, optimize processes, and enhance team collaboration for more effective PI Planning and execution.
