What happens when the scale of PI Planning starts to feel... too big? Stefano Giovannini of Capgemini Invent tackled this critical challenge in a recent article. He explored key considerations around managing complexity, dependencies, and coordination when PI Planning extends beyond the standard 125-person ART threshold. The piece offers valuable insights for organizations grappling with: - Balancing scale vs. complexity in PI Planning events - Managing geographically dispersed teams effectively - Deciding when (and if) to implement Solution Trains - Structuring preparation for large-scale PI Planning - Handling dependencies across multiple ARTs Drawing from real experiences scaling from 65 to 450 participants, the article provides practical guidance while acknowledging there's no one-size-fits-all approach. What's your experience with scaling PI Planning? Have you found creative ways to maintain effectiveness as your organization grows? #agile #scaledagile #SAFe #PIplanning #agiletransformation
