Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) Release Train Engineer Practice Test

Conducting a pre-PI Planning meeting is essential for aligning the various teams' capacities with the objectives of the upcoming Program Increment (PI). This alignment ensures that each team understands its abilities and constraints, allowing them to commit to realistic goals for the PI. By discussing team capacities upfront, organizations can identify potential challenges and make strategic adjustments before the full PI Planning session takes place. This sets the stage for a more effective and coordinated planning process across all teams involved in the Agile Release Train (ART), enhancing the likelihood of achieving the desired PI outcomes.

While preparing feature definitions, facilitating communication with stakeholders, and reviewing past PI outcomes are important activities in their own right, they serve different purposes and are often part of other planning or review processes rather than the primary focus of the pre-PI Planning meeting. The pre-PI Planning meeting is specifically aimed at ensuring that all teams are on the same page regarding their capacity and the overarching goals for the PI, making alignment with PI goals the central objective.
