# PI Planning Template

Big-room planning for a program of teams. Align on a program increment, set objectives, map dependencies, and commit. (PI planning is a scaled agile pattern, independent of OrgTP.)

- **Duration:** 480 minutes (often spread across 1-2 days)
- **Cadence:** Quarterly (per program increment)
- **Participants:** All program teams, product management, architects, leadership

## Agenda
- [ ] Business context and vision (60 min) - priorities for the increment
- [ ] Architecture and planning briefing (30 min) - direction and ground rules
- [ ] Team breakout planning (180 min) - draft iteration plans and objectives
- [ ] Draft plan review (60 min) - present plans, surface dependencies and risks
- [ ] Manage risks / ROAM (60 min) - resolve, own, accept, or mitigate each risk
- [ ] Confidence vote and commit (30 min) - finalize objectives and commit

## Facilitator tips
- Prepare relentlessly before the event.
- Make dependencies visible on a shared board.
- Run an honest confidence vote and address low votes.
- Timebox breakouts hard.

## Notes
- Program objectives:
- Cross-team dependencies:
- Risks (ROAM):
