Deep dives
The Purpose of PI Planning
PI planning is a way for teams to come together and align on objectives and goals for the next 8 to 12 weeks. It allows teams to forecast what they can accomplish, prioritize work, and have a shared understanding of what is important and possible.
The Role of PI Objectives
PI objectives are the main focus of PI planning. They provide a sense of direction and guide the work of teams. These objectives are not detailed plans for each sprint, but rather high-level goals that teams commit to. The aim is to have stable objectives throughout the PI, while allowing flexibility in the detailed backlog items.
Balancing Predictability and Uncertainty
Predictability is important to both businesses and agile teams. PI planning aims to provide some predictability while acknowledging the uncertainty and variability that comes with agile work. It involves prioritizing and protecting core objectives, involving stakeholders in the planning process, and adjusting plans as new information emerges. The goal is to achieve a level of predictability without sacrificing agility.
