SAFe Planning In Action

The Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®) has a special event that is held for every Program Increment (5 sprints-ish). This is a large scale, collaborative event including everyone from the Agile Release Train (50 people plus).

These workshops are highly interactive events where all participants are involved in one of many teams collaborating together to plan a single Program Increment for a single product. The schedule roughly contains:

· Overview of SAFe® Program Increment Planning

· (Fictional) Business Context

· Product / Solution Vision

· Architecture Vision And Development Practices

· Planning Session 1

· Draft Plan Review

· Planning Session 2

· Final Plan Review

· Risk ROAMing

· Confidence Vote

· Retrospective

These will be fast-paced, high octane sessions with a lot of fun!
