SAFe PI Planning
Current Template will help you to save time on preparation and increase the levels of event Facilitation.
PI Planning Introduction to PI Planning: A Quick Overview Program Increment (PI) Planning is a cadence-based, face-to-face event that serves as the heartbeat of the Agile Release Train (ART), aligning all the teams on the ART to a shared mission and Vision. PI planning is essential to SAFe: If you are not doing it, you are not doing SAFe.
It may not always be practical for the entire Agile Release Train (ART) to collocate however, and in our current times COVID-19 has created a situation where this isn’t an option. While physical face to face planning has its benefits, the unwritten SAFe ‘rule’ is “the people who do the work plan the work.” When physical presence is not possible, real time, concurrent, virtual, face to face planning has now proven to be effective. Indeed many ARTs have been successful in creating a hybrid situation where several teams join remotely.
Tooling is the cornerstone of distributed PI planning and several different types of tools are required in combination to support the activities that take place.

Fibonacci Scale Template
Works best for:
Agile Methodology, Prioritization, Agile Workflows
When you manage a team, you often have to estimate how much time and effort tasks will take to complete. Try what often works for Agile teams all over the world: Turn to the Fibonacci Scale for guidance. Based on the Fibonacci sequence, where each number is the summation of the two previous numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, etc.), this template can help you build timelines like a champ—by helping make sure that work is distributed evenly and that everyone is accurate when estimating the work and time involved in a project.
Team´s High Performance Tree
Works best for:
Agile, Meetings, Workshops
The Team's High Performance Tree is a visual representation of the factors influencing team performance. It provides a structured framework for identifying strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. By visualizing factors such as communication, collaboration, and leadership, this template enables teams to assess their performance and develop strategies for enhancement, empowering them to achieve peak performance and deliver exceptional results.
Design Sprint Retrogram
Works best for:
Agile, Retrospective
The Design Sprint Retrogram template facilitates retrospective sessions for Design Sprint teams to reflect on their experiences and identify improvement opportunities. It provides a structured framework for reviewing sprint outcomes, discussing what worked well, what didn't, and generating actionable insights. This template fosters a culture of continuous learning and refinement, empowering teams to enhance their sprint process and deliver better outcomes in subsequent sprints.
Feature Planning Template
Works best for:
Desk Research, Agile Methodology, Product Management
Features are what make a product or service fun, but adding new ones is no walk in the park. It takes many steps—ideating, designing, refining, building, testing, launching, and promoting—and just as many stakeholders. Feature Planning lets you put a smooth, sturdy process in place, so you can add a feature successfully, and spend less time and resources doing it. That makes our Feature Planning Template a smart starting point for anyone looking to add new product features, especially members of product, engineering, marketing, and sales teams.
The Team Canvas (Basic)
Works best for:
Agile
The Team Canvas (Basic) offers a simplified framework for aligning on goals, roles, and processes within Agile teams. It provides structure for defining purpose, clarifying responsibilities, and visualizing the working environment. By fostering open communication and shared understanding, this template facilitates collaboration and increases team cohesion, empowering you to create a shared vision and drive collective success.
Mad Sad Glad Retrospective
Works best for:
Brainstorming, Ideation
It's tempting to measure a sprint’s success solely by whether goals and timelines were met. But there’s another important success metric: emotions. And Mad Sad Glad is a popular, effective technique for teams to explore and share their emotions after a sprint. That allows you to highlight the positive, underline the concerns, and decide how to move forward as a team. This template makes it easy to conduct a Mad Sad Glad that helps you build trust, improve team morale, and increase engagement.
