Program Increment (PI) Planning
A cadence-based, face-to-face event that serves as the heartbeat of the Agile Release
Train (ART), aligning all the teams on the ART to a common mission and vision.
Innovation and Planning Iteration

meeting PI objectives, as well as providing dedicated time for innovation, continuing
education, and PI planning and Inspect and Adapt (I&A) events.
Inspect & Adapt (I&A)
A significant event, held at the end of each PI, where the current state of the solution is
demonstrated and evaluated by the train. Teams reflect and identify improvement
backlog items via a structured, problem-solving workshop

Organizational Readiness
Strategic alignment and teams trains setup
Content Readiness
Management and development preparedness
Facility Readiness
The actual space and logistics for the event
Organizational Readiness Considerations
Planning scope and context - is the scope (product, system or technology domain) of
the planning process understood? Do we know which teams need to plan together?
Business alignment - is there reasonable agreement on priorities among Business
Owners
Agile teams - Do we have Agile teams? Are there dedicated developer and test
resources and an identified Scrum Master and Product Owner for the team?
Content Readiness Considerations
Executive briefing - a briefing that defines the current business context
Product vision briefing(s) - briefing(s) prepared by Product Management including the
top 10 features in the product backlog
Architecture vision briefing - a presentation made by the CTO, Enterprise Architect, or
System Architect to communicate new enablers, features, and Nonfunctional
Requirements (NFRs)
Facility Readiness Considerations
Facility - this room must be roomy enough for all attendees, with breakout rooms if
necessary
Facilities/tech support - these people need to be identified in advance and reachable
during setup and testing, and the event itself
