SAFe PI-Planning Is Stupid
I would go even further, SAFe PI Planning is dangerous!
Now that I have your attention, I have to confess that it is NOT clickbait. A few months ago, I came across an article saying that Agile deserved to die, but it was only the conclusion of making one dumb decisions after the other. It turns out that there are a lot of decisions that seem very reasonable and sound, but they end up being foolish. And somehow, Scalable Agile Framework (SAFe) had become the maximal exponent of those choices. So, given that ‘PI-Planning’ is one of the most well-known features of SAFe, I will focus on it to show how SAFe ‘PI-Planning’ is stupid.
It is undeniable that Agile is still misunderstood, and it even has many detractors. And SAFe does not help to fix that gap. Like many other occasions, the misunderstandings are creating the detractors. I will not enter in detail, but I will leave just this link to a previous story, so, if you like, you can judge by yourself:
