Advance Agility’s PI Planning Simulation course offers a dynamic, hands-on learning experience designed to deepen your understanding of Program Increment (PI) Planning within the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®). This course is ideal for Agile practitioners, Scrum Masters, Release Train Engineers, Product Owners, and anyone involved in large-scale Agile transformations.
Realistic PI Planning Experience:
Participants engage in a simulated PI Planning event, mirroring real-world scenarios faced by Agile Release Trains (ARTs). You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams to plan, prioritize, and commit to program objectives.
Roles and Responsibilities:
Gain practical insight into the roles of key participants—Product Management, Scrum Masters, System Architects, Business Owners, and more—during the PI Planning process.
Backlog Preparation and Prioritization:
Learn how to effectively prepare, estimate, and prioritize the team and program backlogs to maximize business value.
Dependency Management:
Experience techniques for identifying, visualizing, and resolving cross-team dependencies, a critical factor in successful PI Planning.
Risk Identification and Mitigation:
Practice identifying program risks and applying the ROAM technique (Resolved, Owned, Accepted, Mitigated) for risk management.
Commitment and Confidence:
Understand how teams reach consensus, commit to objectives, and measure confidence using voting and feedback mechanisms.
Interactive Simulation:
The course uses engaging, scenario-based simulations to reinforce learning and provide actionable takeaways.
Expert Facilitation:
Sessions are led by experienced Agile coaches who provide guidance, feedback, and best practices throughout the simulation.
Immediate Application:
Participants leave with practical skills and templates to immediately apply PI Planning concepts within their organizations.
