What is PI planning?

PI planning, also known as Program Increment planning, is an essential agile framework for large-scale software development projects. It is a collaborative and structured event that brings together cross-functional teams to align their efforts and plan the work for the upcoming Program Increment, which typically spans over a fixed timeframe of 8 to 12 weeks. During PI planning, teams review the program vision, define clear objectives and goals, and break down the work into smaller, actionable items known as user stories or features. The planning also includes estimating the effort required for each item, identifying dependencies, and creating a visual timeline. This synchronized planning ensures teams have a shared understanding of the work ahead, aligns efforts towards common goals, and helps in identifying and addressing any foreseeable challenges early on.
