What the
Planning
Increment is…
The Program Increment (PI) is the largest plan-do-check-adjust
(PDCA) learning cycle in SAFe. A PI is to the Agile ReleaseTrain or
SolutionTrain as an Iteration is to the AgileTeam: a cadence-based
interval for building and validating a full system increment,
demonstrating value and getting fast feedback.

What does it
look like…
from an
agenda…
http://mwilden.blogspot.com/2009/11/why-i-dont-like-pair-programming-and.html
What really
happens…
 Solid discussion
 Chaos of the day
 Great brain storming
What do you
want at the
end?
 Ideally, a quarter’s plan with work laid out in solid sprints
 In reality, a solid two months worth of work with an action plan for
the last month and an understanding of what is coming up next
quarter
What makes a
good PI?
 Solid understanding of the needed outcome
 Complete stakeholder buy in
 Safe space for developers to talk and work through issues
 Everyone to be participating
 Everyone that will or could be needed for the quarter
Questions…
 What would a budget look like?
 How does a customer normal push back?
 Can this work in smaller retainers?
 Does this require everyone in one room?
 How can we use this to improve service?
 Are you currently using it and who else?
