Pi Planning information

What is PI Planning?

PI Planning, or Program Increment Planning, is a key event in the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) where all Agile teams within an Agile Release Train (ART) come together to align on the vision, plan the upcoming increment, and establish team and program objectives. It typically occurs every 8-12 weeks and lasts for two days. The event fosters collaboration, helps identify dependencies and risks, and ensures that everyone is aligned on priorities and deliverables for the next increment.

What are some common challenges encountered during PI Planning sessions, and how can they be addressed?

During PI Planning sessions, teams often face challenges such as misalignment on objectives, difficulty in estimating work, and managing dependencies between teams. These can be addressed by encouraging open communication, using facilitation techniques to keep sessions structured, and leveraging tools like dependency boards or digital collaboration platforms. Additionally, ensuring all stakeholders are prepared and present helps streamline decision-making and fosters a collaborative environment, leading to more achievable and aligned plans.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a PI Planning facilitator, and why are they important?

To thrive as a PI Planning Facilitator, you need a solid understanding of Agile methodologies, SAFe framework principles, and strong organizational skills, often supported by SAFe certification. Familiarity with collaboration tools like Jira, Confluence, and virtual whiteboards (e.g., Miro) is typically required. Exceptional communication, conflict resolution, and leadership skills help facilitate effective team alignment and engagement. These abilities are crucial for ensuring productive planning sessions, clear goal-setting, and successful delivery of program increments.

Scrum Masters support individual Scrum teams, ensuring Agile practices are followed and impediments are removed. While both roles promote Agile principles, Pi Planning involves strategic coordination across teams, whereas Scrum Masters focus on team-level facilitation and coaching.

What do you do in Pi Planning?

In Pi Planning, a role involved in Agile or SAFe frameworks participates in a collaborative event to plan and align work for a Program Increment, typically lasting 8-12 weeks. The process involves setting objectives, identifying dependencies, and creating a shared team roadmap, often using tools like Jira or Rally. Effective communication, coordination, and understanding of Agile principles are essential for successful Pi Planning sessions.

Who should run Pi Planning?

Our enterprise client is seeking an experienced Project Manager / Scrum Master with strong data platform knowledge and handsโ€‘on experience supporting teams working in Databricks, Teradata, and modern data environments. This role supports a highโ€‘visibility program within the ITSMO organization and requires exceptional communication, leadership, and delivery management skills.


Role Overview

The PM/Scrum Master will drive delivery across multiple data engineering and data governance workstreams, ensuring alignment with program objectives, executive expectations, and Agile best practices. This role is responsible for facilitating Scrum ceremonies, maintaining story hygiene, managing risks and blockers, and ensuring consistent reporting across teams.

You will partner closely with Process Owners, Product Owners, and leadership to support PI Planning, coordinate demos, and maintain standardized Agile/Jira practices across the program.


Key Responsibilities

Project & Program Delivery

  • Provide clear, concise status updates for executive and leadership reporting.
  • Own projectโ€‘level risks, issues, and blockers; ensure timely escalation and resolution.
  • Maintain accountability for scope, cost, schedule, and quality across assigned workstreams.
  • Develop project plans, drive milestones, and ensure effective change management throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Establish and maintain communication plans with project teams and key stakeholders.


Scrum & Agile Leadership

  • Facilitate all Scrum ceremonies: Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, Sprint Reviews, Story Refinement/Backlog Grooming, and Retrospectives.
  • Keep teams organized, focused, and aligned with priorities and PI commitments.
  • Support Product/Process Owners in backlog organization, prioritization, and PI Planning readiness.
  • Ensure stories are updated to reflect accurate status and meet PMO/Program Management standards.
  • Provide programโ€‘level guidance on Agile/Jira frameworks, identify gaps, and drive consistency across ITSMO Scrum teams.


Data Platform Workflow Awareness

  • Understand Databricks workflows (notebooks, jobs, pipelines) to effectively manage delivery, identify blockers, and communicate progress.
  • Coordinate with data engineering teams to ensure dependencies, data quality checks, and deployment steps are properly tracked.
  • Support teams in preparing content for Program Increment (PI) demos.


Tools & Documentation

  • Build and maintain Jira boards, dashboards, and reporting views.
  • Prepare documentation, daily standups summaries, status reports, and time accounting.
  • Utilize Visio, Excel, and other tools to support project planning and communication.


Required Skills & Experience

  • 5โ€“10+ years of Project Management and Scrum Master experience in enterprise environments.
  • Strong background in data platforms, data engineering workflows, or data governance.
  • Experience supporting teams working in Databricks, Teradata, or similar data ecosystems.
  • Deep knowledge of Agile/Scrum, Jira, and enterprise delivery frameworks.
  • Exceptional communication, stakeholder management, and executiveโ€‘level reporting skills.
  • Strong analytical, problemโ€‘solving, and decisionโ€‘making abilities.
  • Ability to manage multiple teams, dependencies, and complex technical delivery.
  • Certified Scrum Master (CSM) required.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Program Increment (PI) Planning and Agile at scale (SAFe or similar).
  • Background in Data Science or Data Governance.
  • Experience in large, matrixed enterprise environments.
  • Ability to translate technical concepts into clear businessโ€‘level updates.


Why This Role Matters

This PM/Scrum Master will play a critical role in ensuring alignment between leadership priorities and delivery teams, driving consistency across Agile practices, and supporting a major data modernization initiative. Itโ€™s an opportunity to influence programโ€‘level standards while supporting highโ€‘impact data engineering work.
