Session One | Facilitating Essential SAFe with Jira Align

Essential SAFe revolves around delivering value by implementing Features within Program Increments (PIs). The 3 major activities relative to a PI surround a PI Planning event: Preparing for PI Planning, PI Planning event itself, and managing the execution of the PI. Without tool support, performing these activities can be a daunting task. Jira Align is the premier tool for supporting all levels of SAFe and provides support for all 3 of these activities. To that end we are making available to you 3 webinars that will demonstrate how Jira Align facilitates Pre-PI Planning, PI Planning, and PI Execution.

Session 1 – During the first session we will demonstrate how Jira Align supports the PI Planning event itself:

• Breaking down Features into Stories
• Allocating Stories to Iterations
• Identifying and negotiating Dependencies
• Identifying Team and Program Objectives
• Identifying Program Risks.
