PI Planning Flashcards
PDCA stands for what?
Plan-Do-Check-Adjust
SAFe suggest targeting <number> of PI Objectives and up to <number> uncommitted objectives</number></number>
SAFe suggests targeting 7-10 PI Objectives, with
up to 3 uncommitted objectives
How are risks managed in a PI planning event?
ART PI Risks are those that are outside of the
team’s control and need to be escalated. They will
be captured and assessed after the final plan
review.
Team risks are those under the team’s control.
They won’t be presented and are handled by the
team themselves
At the end of Day 1, the RTE facilitates the session
where each team presents their draft plan to the ART.
What is the main purpose of the DRAFT plan?
The main purpose is to get everyone in the room
thinking about dependencies, problems, and
opportunities for tomorrow
What is the agenda in presenting the Draft Review? (3 things)
- Current capacity and load of the team for
each Iteration - Draft PI Objectives
- Identify Risks
and impediments
S.M.A.R.T. Objectives ‘S’ stands for what?
S: Specific state the intended outcome as simply, concisely, and explicitly as possible.
(Hint: Try starting with an action verb)
M:Measurable It should be clear what a team needs to do to achieve the objective. The measures may be descriptive, yes/no, quantitative, or provide a range.
A: Achievable Achieving the objective should be within the team’s control and influence.
R: Realistic Recognize factors that cannot be controlled. (Hint: Avoid making assumptions)
T:Time-bound The time period for achievement must be within the PI. Therefore, all objectives
must be scoped appropriately.

What is the final plan review agenda (day 2)
Final plan review agenda:
1. Changes to capacity and
load for each Iteration
2. Final PI Objectives with
Business Values
3. ART PI risks and
impediments
4. Q&A
Addressing Risks. What does ‘R’ stand for in R.O.A.M?
ROAM stands for:
► Resolved - Addressed; the risk is no longer a concern
► Owned - Someone has taken responsibility
► Accepted - Nothing more can be done, and if the risk
occurs, the release may be compromised
► Mitigated – The team has a plan to adjust
as necessary
