Training contents:

PI Planning as a big room event is the most important element of a SAFe implementation. It is based on direct communication between all participants who are present for two days. Due to the corona crisis, this event can no longer be held in this form, however, in many companies it now takes place completely virtually or "dispersed", whereby each participant attends from a different location. This places high demands on the technology, methodology and skills of the participants. In this 2-hour online training course, you will learn from experienced experts which adjustments need to be made to your preparation, infrastructure, roles and agenda to ensure that Virtual PI planning is successful.
During the training, experienced SAFe experts will demonstrate proven practices and provide many tips for the Virtual PI Planning format. There will be an opportunity for discussion with other participants, as the practices often have to be adapted to the organizational framework of a company.
